Preparing and Importing Source Clips
10 Click OK. Start your camera, tape deck, or other video source, and in the Stop Motion
window click Start.
11 Do one of the following:
• If you previously selected Manual Capture (Windows) or Manual Recording (Mac OS),
click Start to begin (Windows only) and then click Step every time you want to capture a
new frame. You can also press a number on the keypad to capture the specified number of
consecutive frames, or press Delete to remove the most recently captured frame.
• If you previously selected Time Lapse, click Start (Windows) or do nothing (Mac OS).
Premiere captures frames at the specified rate. Click Stop when you want to stop capturing.
• (Windows only) If you previously selected Still Image, wait until your video source displays
the frame you want, and click Capture.
12 Choose Save As, specify a location and name for the clip, and click OK.
To manage stop-motion animation (Mac OS only):
• To capture a series of consecutive frames during stop motion, choose Stop Motion > Grab
Frames. Specify the number of consecutive frames to capture, and then click OK.
• To delete frames from the end of a stop-motion sequence you captured, choose Stop
Motion > Truncate Movie. Drag the slider to find the frame where truncating should begin.
All frames after the frame you specify will be removed. Click Truncate.
• To show a ghost image of the previous frame while capturing, choose Stop Motion > Show
Previous. This command is useful for positioning the subject of the current frame against
the contents of the previously captured frame. The ghost image does not become part of the
captured file.
• To remove a background clip, choose Stop Motion > Remove Background Clip. This
command is active only if you added a background clip to help position the subject being
captured. For information about adding a background clip, see “Importing a sample frame”
on page 234.
