Looks like those 3 buttons are missing on the Android version, plus, minus and the square button (masking frame). Does anyone know where I can find the buttons? I have the android pro version. Thanks
For the Android version, it seems it uses the preceeding frame to the obe you are editing as the clear screen. So you have to paste in your clearscreen shot just before every frame you are editing, edit as in the video and then delete it. Its more complicated and time consuming but it seems to work.
You can use your HEADPHONES as a remote trigger!! Please don't tap your phone like I did in this video (it's really bad, and you will get wobbly pictures). See how you can make your headphones work here: ua-cam.com/video/GNCEIzFD90k/v-deo.html
Hey there. Your channel was recommended to me the other day and i was really pleased to find a channel with professionally produced tutorials and shorts, as well as a place to learn about other stop-motion artists. I am trying to get into stop motion after going from traditional art to 2d animation a couple of years ago. Animation based around drawing can be a bit frustrating for me because i have rsi and it takes a long time to get results. Recently my husband inspired me to try to figure out a good alternative to pure drawing because he paints Warhammer miniatures & scenery which i think look really cool, and seeing his work made me realise how much I've always appreciated a more 3D/mixed media style of art, but didn't know where to start for myself. When i started using sculpey i was pretty pleased to find out that the muscles and tendons weren't as easily aggravated and it's just fun to work with clay. Channels like yours are helping me to piece together what it is that i want to do and how to get there. Oh, i have a suggestion for a video topic, if you are interested. I have watched a bunch of your videos, but not all of them so apologies if you've already covered it. Mixed media in animation looks fantastic, it would be cool to learn more about artists who combine different art mediums and how they do it. For example, Stephen Holman created Life With Loopy (Nickelodeon show) and Joe Normal (from MTVs original version of Liquid TV) and he combines 3d models with 2d paper cut out heads and metal painted heads with magnetic facial features. Not to mention he uses live action and puppets on top of that. It's pretty inventive. No worries if it's not your thing though. Cheers.
Hey! Oh awesome, thanks so much for checking out my work - really pleased you are enjoying it :) Awesome that you have found clay as a medium - it’s so versatile and one of the most fun things to animate with in stop motion, you can achieve really subtle changes in form, it’s great. Mixed media is a great area to explore - I will add your suggestions to my list. I’ve worked on some projects that combined techniques before… six years ago I volunteered at the National Film and Television School, helping students make armatures and things…. they were doing stop motion with hand drawn faces and another student was mixing stop motion environments with puppet characters - pretty cool. I will see what I can do. I want to make more of my own films and more videos here too... just need to find the money and the time at the moment - I’ll get there eventually though. Thank you for such a thoughtful comment, was lovely to hear your story so far. Perhaps you and your husband can team up on a project one day - combine skills. Anyway, hope you are having a great day and all the best on your stop motion journey :)
Thanks for the reply and the encouragement. I know what you mean about having a lot to do, the other month i wrote down all the ideas i have for things and it really made me think about what's possible, practical and realistic given my situation. It made me look into ways to short cut as much as i can while still getting the ideas across. It also made me assess what subjects keep me motivated. Humour is the main thing i am interested in, so that's where I am trying to focus my energy. I have some larger ideas that aren't practical, but no one person can do everything. So short and punchy it is. I also hope that you have a good day. Cheerio.
Aww, thank you so much, I am so pleased to hear that 😍😎It is honestly my pleasure, I love helping people achieve their creative goals. Make sure to link me up to anything you make and have a great day 💜
Great video!(as always) your channel always makes me smile...it's basically like my coffee in the morning when I look in my feed.."oh a stop motion video from animatotor!" *fully wakes* haha :)
Val, you have just made my day!! Thank you, this has really made me smile 😍🙂 I honestly feel so blessed that people enjoy watching the things I make. Hope you're having a great day so far 😎💜
Your tutorials are outstanding. I love how clear and straight forward they are. You also have a great speaking voice. You could totally get a side gig as a narrator or voice over specialist! Great work and thanks so much!
Sarah, thank you so much for this lovely comment, you have really brightened my day!! 😍It is so funny you say that about my voice - I LOVE doing the voiceover for my videos, so much fun. I'd love to get into voice narration or voice over as a side gig, that would actually be amazing. If you have any tips of how I could go about doing that let me know 😎👌Thanks so much for watching my videos and I hope you're having a great day so far 💜
@@Animatortor you're so welcome! I wish I knew how to connect you to get you some voice over jobs. But you should totally research it. It's a natural gift! ❤❤❤
Thank you 😊 I've had a quick look into things... I think I need to make a sort of voice showreel to help pitch my voice for jobs... I will continue researching and keep you posted if I manage to make it work 😎💜
Im having an issue. since the lighting bounces off the subject of the shot, when i take the subject out of shot to get that background frame, the lighting is slightly different, meaning when i use the eraser tool, u can see the eraser marks cuz the lighting of the 2 different frames are slightly different. Is there any way to solve this? I might just have to use a white background and then over expose or have no background at all lol
This is a common problem. I will often solve this by altering the brightness of the clean plate to match... slightly changing the brightness and/or contrast values in an external image editor like Photoshop. Its hard to fix this in the app... but if you are able to use another app to adjust that background picture you might find you get better results. Hope that makes sense
Great Video Thank you for the tutorial it really helps on my Gundam Stopmotion, also is there any video that you do how to make very Smoothly or How many shots needed to have a smooth movements, Also i have Andriod Pro version
Thanks so much! Getting smooth movements is basically practice... try more movements and more pictures and keep playing with timings and soon you will learn how far you need to move things to get it looking smooth. I did make this video which might give you some guidance: ua-cam.com/video/9pfCTHb6YeI/v-deo.html
Hi I'm new to animation, im trying to create a piece of animated drawing as an art piece and I wondered if there was a way to use my hands in a photo movement, then add a layer drawing over the top of my hands, and then going back to remove the photo of my actual hands using a clean frame? I'm using Stop motion studios on my phone at the moment. Thanks
Hey! I believe there is an app called Flipaclip... where you can draw on top frame-by-frame (i've not tried it myself) but have heard that it is pretty good :) Hope that helps and all the best with your work - sounds like it will be fun :)
My first ever animation I used white sticky tack as that was all I had and I coloured it with a bit of ink. You can animate with anything. Play with paper or sweets or whatever you have lying around - get creative and then you can always move onto clay when you have some.
Hey, I don't think it is possible to do it within the app without pro... if you have a separate image editor you might be able to export the image sequence and edit outside of the app though
The trick is to keep things consistent. Make sure lighting is the same in every picture, make sure your body isn't casting shadows on some photos as the colours won't match. I must say doing it in the app and getting a good result isn't the easiest thing. I didn't enjoy the process and much prefer painting things out in Photoshop or an image editor like that. My best piece of advice is to stand well away from your set when you trigger pictures to make sure you aren't interrupting a light source with your body... I found that got me the best results, still not perfect though. Hope that helps a little. Also you are using the same picture every time as your clean image... so that is how the bit that shows through looks the same every frame too.
Would I need to take a clean shot every time I would move the camera? Like..full flying fight scenes? Or looking at different angles of a flying plane?
Hi everytime i make a item fly it looks like someone or a ghost is carrying the item but still i love your videos i hope we can meet in real life after corona and keep up the good work :D BTW i am a kid i am 11 yrs old
You need to make sure that the lighting is exactly the same in both shots... you may find that your body is creating a shadow across your set sometimes... if the colours in the pictures are different then it will look like a blob under your object. If you are able to trigger remotely with headphones or another device mark a spot on the floor far enough away from your set that you are not casting a shadow and take your pictures. I know it's a pain, but sometimes standing in the same place can fix these sort of things. It's amazing how much your body can affect things if you are standing in slightly different place each frame. Hope that helps/makes sense. For sure, I'd love to be able to do workshops to help young people learn. Are you in the UK?
thank you and i dont live in UK but i sometimes go there in summer and i live in the philippines ;-; but i can still learn from you its fine if we dont meet
Next time you visit the UK let me know! I will be doing a livestream when the channel reached 2,000 subs - to celebrate... so if you are around when I go live that will be close to meeting me IRL :) I'll just be chatting to everyone and answering Q's etc. Will try and be online for an hour or so. I'll schedule it in ahead of time so you will know when it will be :)
Yeah, it's a shame... but the premium version is still very cheap compared to professional programs. The software I use to do the same thing was £££ lol
You can't use that feature for free in the app unfortunately. You could pull all your images into a free photo editing app... although I imagine doing it that way would be more complicated
Looks like those 3 buttons are missing on the Android version, plus, minus and the square button (masking frame). Does anyone know where I can find the buttons? I have the android pro version. Thanks
I am so sorry I can't help on this. I will pin your comment though and hopefully others will see it and be able to help you
@@Animatortor thank you anyway. Great videos!

Thanks so much! Good luck with all your stop motions :)
Yeah I’m releasing a Star Wars stop motion soon, it is kinda shaky tho, I’m saving up for a tri-pod
Awesome, that sounds like it is going to be great! Definitely worth investing in a tripod, hope you manage to save up soon :)
Ok :D

Can I like use green clay and then use green screen???
If you use green clay it will key the clay out too... so if you are using green clay best to use a different colour screen like blue
WOW🙂

Hey what u used stop motion studio pro or regular one
Pro version for these features
Ur my teacher
Awesome, really pleased I can help :)
Stop motion studio have the pro version fro apk
how you keep the erased part in so many stills look the same or almost the same?
The trick is to keep things consistent. Make sure lighting is the same in every picture, make sure your body isn't casting shadows on some photos as the colours won't match.

What app are you using for this
Stop Motion Studio, the Pro version
Would I need to take a clean shot every time I would move the camera? Like..full flying fight scenes? Or looking at different angles of a flying plane?
Yes you would, a clean frame for each new position to match the picture that you want to rig remove on
not i have to buy it
There is a free version as wheel , sorry for being 3 years late

It says I need the premium to erase it😢
Yeah, unfortunately it is a premium feature :(
Roses are red
Violets are blue
You needed help
I did too.
Aww, love this!! Made me smile 🥰😊
@@Animatortor :)
Tiktok
U have to pay
Yes, this is on the the premium app version (it's about $5)

Too bad it doesn't work at free version 🥺🤧
Yeah, it's a shame... but the premium version is still very cheap compared to professional programs. The software I use to do the same thing was £££ lol

This feature costs money
Yes, it’s a premium feature
I got the premium feature
they charge for erasing
Unfortunately, yes
I don’t understand this it is more better to use green screen
And i am using a Ipad can you help me to do this
I can’t found masking button
I’m poor😢
