To There are various ways to capture pictures for your Stop-Motion video: You can take pictures from your Digital Camera, and then upload the pictures to your computer, or you can use your Webcam to record your pictures (no uploading required). There are advantages and limitations of each method. Digital cameras may provide a macro lens to allow close-up of figures, and have connectors to various supporting platforms like tripods or booms. On the other hand, many digital cameras do not number there pictures in a convenient format for loading into a Non-Linear Video editor. For example, cameras may not add "leading zeros" before picture numbers, and sometimes the number can be loaded into a non-linear editor out of sequence... For this tutorial, I will be completed using the '''Cheese''' application to record pictures. This application correctly numbers each picture for loading all pictures in correct sequence into a non-linear video editor, and no uploading is required.Unfortunately, there is no macro capability with this webcam, so you will notice a blurred vision in some of the frames... Recent versions of Ubuntu are better at detected various manufacturers of webcams. Make certain your webcam is connected to your Ubuntu system, and make certain that you have the cheese application installed on your system (is does NOT install by default).
