Stop Motion, Frame Grabs?

[Robert Eldon]

I'm trying to get the effect of using stop motion (like cloulds that go whizzing by). I searched for information using our DVX100B to get the effect, but the only thing I could find was 'one-shot recording'.

I tried a test using the one-shot recording and setting the record time to .5 seconds, spent 1 1/2 hours hitting the start/stop on the remote. It didn't turn out well.

I'm wondering if there is an easy way in Vegas to extract a frame at a time, say every 1 second, and build a track that would have this effect?

I also want to use this for some animation work.

There is a render image sequence script that'll do it for you in tools. You can tell it how many frames per second you want saved.

That's what I needed! Thanks!

Unless you want it jittery, why not just crank the footage up 1,000%+? That way, when the clouds whiz by, they're silky smooth ... again, unless you want the jittery/stop motion effect.
