These stop motion animations are great for highlighting objects in a dynamic way, or as a visual hook at the start of your content. 🎞️🙂‍↕️ Here’s a simple tutorial on how to create them: ✂️ First, pick your editing platform and content format. (I used CapCut here and decided to create a horizontal carousel so I used the 4:3 ratio.) ✂️ Next pick a video or image to be your background, then select the photo of the object you want to animate. ✂️ Crop the object as closest as possible, and then select “Remove Background” tool. ✂️ Use the “Custom Removal”’s “Smart Eraser” tool if you need to remove unwanted details. ✂️ If you’re using multiple photos for the animation, ensure they are resized to match each other! ✂️ Copy and paste each photo repeatedly to create a stop motion pattern! 🗝️ PRO TIP: it’s extra cute if you add in sound effects! 😉 💬 Did you find this tutorial helpful?
