You decide if each image will be held for two frames or ten frames. I have not done any stop motion with my DSLR but I have done time lapse photography. You could not do that coming straight from a Bolex but you can now with any NLE. Some things might animate a little slower some things might animate a little faster but that is not the case today.Īs of 2020 you can move the animated object however you want and in post production get the timing 100% to your taste.

When I used the Bolex it was going to playback at 24 FPS on the film projector. You can easily speed it up or slow it down. You have full control over the animations frame rate and speed.

You could easily use any Nikon, Sony or Canon camera (even USB) and take one photo and have the length by default in any NLE be one frame, two frames, ten frames etc. If I want to spell my name with pennies sliding into frames I can move them 1 millimeter at a time or 1 centimeter at a time. You can use Dragonframe but the original poster wants to use FCPX.
