"iStopMotion is a registered trademark of Boinx software, and I am in no way affiliated with Boinx software. In this lesson, I'm going to teach you how to reorient your picture and how to use continuous recording mode in iStopMotion. If you want to make sure that you're on the recording tab at the bottom right and if you come up to orientation and click the tab beside there. You can flip your picture. You can flip it horizontally. You can flip it vertically, and you can also select rotate it by 180 degrees, which is going to flip it horizontally and vertically. You might have a use for this sometime. I'm going to change it back to normal. You can also change the noise reduction from normal to better to best underneath there. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. You can play around with that. Below that, it says recording mode. By default, it's going to be set to single frames. That's what you're going to be using when you're making StopMotion animation, but you can also select continuous. What this is going to do is it's just going to record like a regular camera. You can set for how long you want that to work for. You can select either seconds or frames. I've got mine set to 3 seconds. When you come down and click the record button, it's just going to record like a normal camera like I said. It's going to do that for 3 seconds. You might have times when you want to be able to just record like so. If you have a falling object or something like that. That's how you change recording modes, and that's how you reorient your picture."
