How do I use a Digital Still camera with iKITMovie?
Firstly you take all the snapshots for your project and then you import the images in to iKITMovie. You can import multiple files at one time by selecting as many files as you wish. Use shift mouse click to select multiple files.
Digital Still Cameras can connect to PC's but only to allow the transfer of images from the camera to the computer. 
Those that do not connect directly to a PC will have SD ( Memory cards ) that allow the transfer of the images to the PC.
 
To use a Digital still camera you must first take the snapshots you wish to animate as JPEG's (all modern digital still cameras can take jpegs's)and then copy them to your computer. Then you can import the captured images into iKITMovie.
 

iKITMovie 1.7 or above will automatically resize your images when you import them to whatever size you choose. When importing the images you should choose 640x480 or 800x600 or 960x720. iKIT will prompt you for this information in list format during import. 
When you start a new project you will be given the option to "Import Images" as shown below.

 

 
 
 
You can import images at the beginning of a new project by choosing the "Import Images" option.

 
You will then be asked to choose the image size. A drop down menu will prompt you for the sizes available.

 
Or you can import images while in the project at any time.  You can also import them to any point in the time line ..ie.
at the end of the current sequence of images ..before the currently select image etc.

  

 Connecting a Camcorder to your PC

 

 99% of Camcorders will have an output port for sending its video signal and playback images (from tape etc) to a TV screen.
We can use this feature to connect it to a PC's USB port..

However you will need an Adaptor to connect the cables from your Camcorder to a USB port on your PC.
Once connected to your PC you can use iKITMovie to make stop motion animation.

 

  
 There are a number of such adaptors available on the market. We have tested the most inexpensive and popular model from EZCAP 116 as shown below.
  
   
 They are available to purchase on Amazon/ Ebay and some local hifi stores.
