Ok, so I'm new to animating with 15fps and I'm doing a co-production in 15fps. My problem is that when I'm finished animating a scene and I preview the movie it's choppy! Even though it takes me about 10-12 frames to move the arm up and down. I want to turn a few heads and move arms up and down in the film. That's all I need to do. I've been trying to figure out how to animate in 15fps for 3 weeks now! Please! I'm already way behind schedule! Please help me!
Thanks.:(
Come on guys!:( I really need help!:(
If you are using monkeyjam, have you made sure the "Hold" is on 1?
What editing software are you using?
WMM? If so I strongly suggest switching to something like Adobe Premiere Elements 7; you can type in your frame rate and it just chops 'em all down for ya'!

Except the problem is that APE7 costs money. I recommend MonkeyJam.

I'm using monkeyjam and the hold is on 1. Its just how do you make smooth animation! If I do tiny movements while moving a minifigs arm up and down it turns out slightly choppy and VERY slow. I see people like you Rsteenoven making smooth animation using 15fps and I am using 15fps but its not smooth! Its always choppy! Please help!:(

I'm sing Monkey Jam.
I think you just need to practice.
You also might want to try using different increments at different times in a movement.
For example, instead of moving an arm in steady increments, like this:
' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '
... you should try to ease in and out of the movement, like this:
'' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ''
Ok, I tried it before but I'll try again.:)
Bright, lots of software have trouble processing Stop-Mo animations for the preview window. WMM does this a hell of a lot, and Vegas even does it a bit.
