Hi everyone,

I am trying to find which effect is applied on the youtube video from the link below. Starts at 00:30" and goes up to 00:44" (seconds). I thought it was Stop-Motion effects but I think is either something else or I am using an incorrect setting.

Thanks in advance.

Looks to me like the editing is just taking and deleting groups of frames out of the sequence that was originally recorded.

I am not familiar with PD15 so ... maybe someone that is can tell you if that is an 'effect' or not that is provided.

If it is not provided... like I said, looks like you could just go into your timeline and split, delete sections then drag the clips that trail the sections you just deleted - drag them to the left to 'butt them up against' the end of the clip to the left.

If any of that makes sense?!?!?!?

Hi ZilogCWB -

Between CS & you, you've hit the nail on the head. That's exactly what's been done in that sequence.

The video was placed in the timeline - split at different points - short sections of 5-15 frames (guess) removed. The intact parts show enough continuous action to make it fluid.

When the split out sections are removed, the action shifts suddenly at the split points to create that fake stop motion effect. Here's an example:

There's no instant way to do this in PDR, as far as I know, but it's easy to accomplish.

Cheers - Tony
