Oh nice, goes much faster then the 5 years I spend on my vid then! (joking)
I think i will check out the demo version and then decide.
Thanx verry much!

Hey Rikke,
Are you saying that you dragged photos into your IMovie project, then changed the times on them, and maybe cut out the Ken Burns effect?
I did that twice, when I needed to get the tming of something, and would never want to do that again. On my Imoive I can make the stills into 5 frames, still not great to make stop motion out of.

By all means get a stop motion program, I stop motion has a free demo.
I think that frame thief is still around, it has been abandoned however so there will never be any upgrades, but the price is right. as in free. I don't know how it works with digital still  cams.

Best of luck.

I'll second FrameThief as a great (free) little program. http://www.framethief.com/

It has a trial period where everything works and then, even after it expires, 95% of the options you'd need still work.

Otherwise, while you can't see your movie and it's impossible to edit with sound, I also recommend using the Quicktime player for simple edits. I also use Quicktime heavily for it's 'Open Image Sequence' option where you choose a folder full of numbered images, a frame rate, and it turns it into a movie for you.
