To launch the Cinecutie application, click '''APPLICATIONS''' -> '''SOUND & VIDEO''' -> '''Cinecutie'''
In addition to several windows, a '''tips "tip of the day" dialog box''' will appear. Click on the green check mark red close button to close exit that dialog box...
You should notice that by default, '''Cinecutie will display four application windows'''. Each of these windows is for a specific purpose:
'''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...
