Processing Photos

Once the images for each animation frame have been captured the animation can be created by using a video editing software such as iMovie. To create the video import every image and set it to show for 1/frame rate of animation. For the example butterfly animation a frame rate of 12 fps was used meaning that each frame is displayed for 0.083 seconds. To extend the footage the sequence can be duplicated and reversed. Alternatively, a GIF creation application could be used however this will produce a poorer quality video.
