• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I have been using istopmotion software (which is perfect) and imovie 06 very happily with a club at the school I teach in until now. :Angry:When we aquired new Macs we made the mistake of upgrading to imovie o9; This seems to be hopeless as an editing tool for stop motion frames and films. :Not-Amused:Other than going back in time what is the best option; Final Cut Express? We want something that can handle individual frames when editing. imovie seems to be geared towards well, movies and limited as a creative tool unless you stick to the script. Any thoughts and advice much appreciated.

Your Mac's Specs
Late 2013 rMBP, i7, 750m gpu, OSX versions 10.9.3, 10.10
FramebyFrame looks pretty cool and very easy to use.

If you already have all of the photos, you can use Final Cut Express, it will allow you to set a single image to as little as a single frame. FCE gives you a lot of power as it is a stripped down version of FCP but still maintains a significant amount of capability. If you need more advanced extra editing options (audio, video, multiple video tracks, filters, effects, etc) it's a good tool to look at.

of course there is a significant cost difference - $free (framebyframe) vs $199 (FCE unless they've changed the price) :D
