Re: Keeping pictures centered in Stop Motion?

Mike,

 

Photoshop would only come into play, to create Alignment Grids for your sheets.

 

In PS, start with New Image, and from the Image Size, hit the drop-down (probably says "Custom"), and then choose the Video Frame Size to match your Project at the bottom of that drop-down list, say HD 1920 x 1080 with Guides. Set Background to Transparent. Hit OK.

 

  1. Your new Image, sized to match the Video Frame Size will Open, and you can see the Guides for the Title-safe and Action-safe areas. You should see a gray/white checkerboard, indicating a Transparent Background.
  2. In the Layers Palette, chose New Layer at the bottom. Use the Marquee Selection Tool, to draw your first "sheet."
  3. In the Paths Palette, hit the little fly-out arrow at the top, and choose Make Workpath.
  4. Then, set the Pencil Tool to maybe 2-3 pixels and Hard, Set the Foreground Color to say red, and go to that same fly-out on the Paths Palette, choose Stroke Workpath, and choose Pencil.
  5. Now you have a Stroked (only) rectangle on a Layer. Hit Ctrl-T for Free Transform, and with the Cursor just outside the Bounding Box (you might need to expand the view by dragging a corner of that Image to see the Bounding Box clearly), and you will see a little arc with arrowheads. Rotate, as is needed.
  6. Repeat, with different colors, as is necessary.
  7. Save_As PSD, and Import that into PrPro. You might find that you do not want all colored rectangles on one PSD, so you can Export each Layer to a separate PSD, to be Imported separately.

 

Good luck,

 

Hunt
