Convergence/Divergence: Stop Frame Animation

Create a sequence of images - this can be photographs, scanned images etc. Each file must be in neumerical or alphabetical order. If you delete 1 image from sequence it will create a gap in photoshop so you must remember to rename files before opening in photoshop.

Select the first image in sequece and select the 'image sequence' box. Next you will be presented with a box entitled 'frame rate' for stop frame animation the typical frame rate is 12 but this is something you should play around with to select what works best for your animation.

The image will open and appear as one layer. The layer should have a little film strip on it to indicate that this is a sequence of images.

Window - Animation. This will bring up a timeline featuring the sequence layer.

You can adjust the settings on the layers by selecting LAYER - NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER you can add multiple adjustment layers. This edits all the layers.

To export file sequence: FILE - EXPORT - RENDER VIDEO after you select 'render video' a box will appear. Generally 'Quicktime' is a good format to use. 'H.264' format compresses file size without video loosing quality. For document size 1920 x 1080 is a good size.
