Frame Thief Export for Cartoon Animation

Video Transcript

"Hi this is Cable on behalf of Expert Village. Let's say we've captured all of the frames that we want to. All our artwork has been captured on to our computer as individual still Images. So now in Framethief the same principal is true with many other programs, like other frame grabber programs like iStop motion, After Effects, Final Cut, so after you get all the Images captured you need to export those still frames as a single fluid animation that's more easily handled and viewed. Ok, so in Framethief, you want to go to File, Export, and export that animation that you just made to a Quicktime movie. So, take a few seconds to go over your settings and make sure it's the right resolution and size that you want to. Usually 720 by 480 is full screen resolution, so if you wanted to watch this on TV it'd be just fine. Now, you can always edit your settings. And let's do that here to make sure it plays back as smooth as we can. Let's make sure that when we export our movie it plays smoothly. So, if anywhere you see frames per second and it's other than thirty just go ahead and try to change it to thirty it'll play smoother. Right now this is set on fifteen. Twenty-nine point nine seven is actually the true broadcast frame rate. Now, when you export be sure that you know where you're saving your exported movie too. I would just put it on the desktop. Give it a name, be default it's called ball.mov. Press enter and you can see that it's compressing the frame one by one to make a finished QuickTime. So, after Framethief has exported the image sequence we have a finished QuickTime and it should look something like this. And now it's in a format that's more easily handled and it is watchable. And it takes up less space in your office."
