Topic: Anything to improve efficiency?

Heya,

At the moment I use a Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 to take pictures using monkeyjam on my computer (which is running windows vista) I then edit with bafran on that computer if needed, before I transfer the pictures to my mac to finish off editing, I then put the pictures together in iStopMotion, and record audio in Audacity, I then either put the audio into iStopMotion, and then transfer into iMovie (Which is a pain) or add the audio in iMovie (which I am really not very good at) I think this is waaaaaay harder than it needs to be on my part and was wondering if you guys had any tips or other pieces of software I could use to improve my overall efficiency and hopefully quality!
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!

#1. Render the movie in MJ. You can edit the pictures and keep then in the layer, then render them into a movie straight out of MJ without having to bring everything over to iStopmotion.
#2. Bring both the video (From MJ) and the audio into iMovie and put them together there along with any titles and other things.

That should make thing a lot easier. mini/wink

(You could also just use WMM and never even have to transfer the files to another computer. But seeing as you have a Mac, you'd probably want to use that.)

Aha, that sounds like it would work! great! Thanks mini/smile
I know I could use WMM but personally I think iMovie can add a more sleek look to the finished video, just a personal view though mini/wink But what you say sounds so much easier! mini/tongue Can't believe I haven't thought of that mini/XD
