Video editing software for stop-motion video?

Actually, you don't really need special software to do stop action videos.\n\nInstead, you can actually tell your camcorder to shoot in stop-action. You know that second-by-second look that stop-action movies have? Well, that's exactly what you can do on camera; you can tell it to record under a second each time.\n\nHowever, you'll need a SONY camcorder for this. Just go to Menu>Frame Rec.

I've used muVee for making quick slide shows and it is really easy to use for that.  You just give it a group of photos, select a music track, pick a style and it creates a cool movie in a couple minutes.  I haven't used it for video though.\n\nAdobe is filled with all sorts of features but I find it much harder to use.  It's also relatively expensive.  The entry level Adobe After Effects is a little more affordable and might be a good choice.\n\nI bought Pinnacle Studio 9 and was not impressed.  It was hard to use, most of the cool features were 'locked' and required an additional upgrade, etc.\n\nWhat I use most often is Windows Movie Maker.  It's free (or more accurately, included with Windows XP) and is very easy to use.  It has lots of titles and effects and transitions you can use, and you can also add more.  There are a couple of free downloads on www.microsoft.com for the 'Winter Fun Pack' and the 'Creativity Fun Pack'.  Also, if you look at the Windows Movie Makers forums (www.windowsmoviemakers.net), they have lots of users that have created custom effects, titles and effects.\n\nI think if you start using WMM, you'll get hooked.  Plus it is a good way to start without investing any money.  If you find you need more features, then you can consider purchasing another package.

I would go with the adobe solutions, you can use Adobe Premier to do rhe video stuff, its easy to use still very profecional, you can actually do the slide show thing as well. Now to do the menu thing you'll need another program from adobe Encore DVD it has excelent features and easy to use.\nIm talkin about almost profesional stuff here, but no worries its pretty simple to use. YOu can buy the hole package Adobe Production Studio, standard edition include:\n-Adobe After Effects.\n-Adobe Premier (video editing you can also do the lide show thing)\n-Adobe Photoshop\n-Adobe Audition (Audio editing)\n-Adobe Encore \nAdobe Illustrator.\n\nYou can also use Macromedia Flash 8 for the slide show.

Adobe Premier is a great software for this purpose, you may also try VCD Cutter too.

You can try Adobe Premiere trial version it's free for 30 days with full features.  It is the industry standard software for linear(nonlinear I can't remember) video editing.\nIt supports many file formats.  You can try by the tutorials.  It will containt a tool menu where you can find some tools to shrink/expand/cut/crop they are simple once you know what they are.  Just read help for 10-15 mins. you will rull it.  I had good results using this software.  \nMovie Maker is not sufficient for advanced or better results.

I just bought a $30 webcam (which is great for my purposes) and I just use windows movie maker (free with XP) to make stop-motion animations and the like... you can just take jpgs (from your digital camera or ones you draw on your computer or elsewhere) and stitch them together in WMM... I also have PaintShop Pro which comes with Animation Shop for doing the same...

You will need any video editor software. Most of them are expensive (such as adobe premier)  but I am aware of a total free one which I have used in the past called virtualdub. \n\ngood luck!
