byronlawrence Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I would like to know of a software, or a good software if there is more than one that you know of, that can stitch together still images to make a video or video clip. this has to be on an order of several hundred images, not just 2 or 3 to make a several second animation. anyway thanks for reponses.

ken dennis Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Microsoft has their program, but it isn't as good as it could be IMO, I have used Roxio video creator and it does well, as far as others go, there are a bunch out there on the market that I havn't tried, maybe someone else can tell you more about them!

bill_tuthill Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Lots and lotsa choices: Sony Vegas, Ulead VideoStudio, Pinnacle, etc. My dentist friend, who is talented and could have earned less money as a Hollywood video maker, likes Ulead.

tim_biehn Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 There are a lot out there. I am currently using Nero 6 which allows Titles, Transitions and background music. I have also used Easy Media Creator. They give you the option of creating either DVD or Video CDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byronlawrence Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 I will check those options out. two things. I work with a PC, and I am particularly interested in an animated look. like to make clay animation videos, and/or jumpy looking videos. I have a digital video camera but I wanted to play with using my 20d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byronlawrence Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 exactly! there are other films made with a similar method on the web too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neal_thatcher Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Byron, It is very easy to do in Adobe Premiere w/ the help of Photoshop. All you need to do is "batch" number all your captured frames in the order you want them to appear in your movie and "import" them as a sequence or project. I haven't used the other software mentioned but have done this on an Avid editing system too. The great thing about doing it in Premiere is you don't need to reimport if you alter a frame since you can use photoshop files, the change will be reflected automatically...a big time saver.

ted_chambers Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 ProShow Gold is a product dedicated to doing just this. It does the complete job - no need to run the video through an MPEG encoder, DVD authoring software, and DVD burner. I use video editing software as well, but for still images the dedicated program makes the whole process much simpler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karim Ghantous Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 VideoMach. Very popular for people who make videos from computer game action (e.g. Unreal Tournament, Day of Defeat etc.) Try to find a version around 2.7 because later versions put watermarks on the output file. 2.7 has a mode where you can use if for free as long as it's for non-commercial use. If you can't find it I'll e-mail it to you. It's not a big file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_taylor11 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Although I use Premiere, this program (Canopus Imaginate) looks like it has some potential. There is a demo to try out. http://www.canopus.us/US/products/Imaginate2/pm_imaginate2.asp -James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik scanhancer Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 "Tim Burton's new animation film CORPSE BRIDE was entirely shot with Canon DSLRs and Nikon lenses." Yeah, and it was put together/edited on a Mac using Final Cut Pro, which in my opinion is THE software to use for a purpose like this. And if you can affort a high-end compositing solution look at Apple's Shake, which is the standard compositing tool in most Hollywood editing rooms. Runs on a Mac too, of course. Many stunning special effects in huge budget movies are created in Shake. Take a fat Mac and Shake and you can do all these things yourself, provided you have the creativity needed.

byronlawrence Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 I will look into Ulead, VideoMatch, and maybe this Apple Shake first. but I want to spend as little as possible. and I am not going to get anohter computer, because the next one on the list will be a pc notebook computer. THANKS a bunch for all the replies. this will help me out a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
