How do I export from stop motion app?

Published in Stop Motion Export 3 mins read

To export your project from a stop motion app, you typically access the share menu, select an export option like "All Images," and then confirm the process to receive your compiled frames.

Exporting Your Stop Motion Project

Exporting your stop motion project allows you to save your animated sequences or individual frames for backup, further editing, or sharing outside the app. While specific interfaces may vary slightly between applications, the core steps remain consistent across most stop motion platforms.

Step-by-Step Export Guide

The process of exporting your project, particularly all its images, is straightforward:

  1. Share the Project:

    • Locate and select the "Share" option within your stop motion app. This is commonly represented by a share icon (often an arrow pointing upwards out of a box, or similar). This gateway provides access to various output and sharing functionalities.
  2. Choose Export Option:

    • From the sharing options presented, you will need to specify your desired export format. To obtain all the individual frames of your project, select "All Images."
    • Upon choosing this option, the app will prepare to compile all the project's images into a zip file. This format is highly versatile for various post-production needs.
  3. Commence Export:

    • Once you've made your selection, tap "Next" or a similar button to initiate the export process. The app will then generate the zip file containing all your images, making them ready for saving or sharing.

Why Export "All Images"?

Exporting your project as a collection of all its individual images in a zip file offers several practical advantages:

  • Archiving and Backup: It provides a complete, uncompressed backup of every frame, ensuring you don't lose any part of your original work.
  • External Editing: You can easily import these images into professional photo or video editing software (like Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve) for advanced color correction, visual effects, or assembly into different video formats.
  • Flexibility and Reuse: Individual frames can be reused for other creative projects, promotional materials, or as standalone images.
  • Quality Control: Working with individual images often allows for greater control over final output quality compared to exporting a compressed video file directly from the app.

Export Steps Summary

For quick reference, here's a summary of the export process:
