'''Before using Cinecutie, we should "think ahead" how we are going to use this application.''' For example, how many frames (pictures) will be used to represent 1 second of time. Remember, the process of stop motion photography is to take many pictures of a moving object to simulate action. Normal motion picture cameras capture 30 pictures or "frames" per second (fps). For stop motion photography, we can go with a lower number (depending on preference). '''For this video, I reduced the frames per second (fps) from 30 to 15.''' Some stop motion applications can have settings as low as 4 fps. I really depends on what the user wants to accomplish...

In the Cinecutie Program Window, click the '''FILE''' menu, and then select '''New'''.
Click on the '''green check mark''' to load the selected files.
You should now notice the loaded pictures in the Program Window. '''You can select the the length of time intervals by clicking and selecting a value at the bottom left-hand side of the program window'''. This will allow you to stretch the time line, so you can view each picture as a visual element. This can make it easier to mark frames for editing.
