Beaver 1 Report post Posted November 13, 2015 Working on a short personal project, this will be my first real attempt at stop motion. Anyone have much experience with this? I'm thinking I'll shoot it with a nice mirrorless camera, but cranking out a bunch of 24 megapixel raw files seems like major overkill. Is there a best practice here?

CharlieDog 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2015 Just set the file size (pixel dimensions) on the camera to a smaller size? Or, don't worry about the size and change it all in your video editor/compositor. Larger files will give you more options (zoom/pan/crop etc) when you're editing.

This software is great for stop motion work http://www.dragonframe.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
