<p>I want to make video like this: <div class="youtube-embed"><div>
                <iframe width="640px" height="395px" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Izj5FnN4dz4?start=0"></iframe>
            </div></div></p>

<p>While I know they used different technique (stop motion from photos), I would want to make mine from existing video of person walking. So my question is: what software would automatically remove every frame except the ones I mark as important for walk animation (ie.: frames in which left or right leg is in specific position so the walk impression is preserved).</p>

<p>Even better, the video I currently have has pretty systematic walk so I guess it would be nice if I could specify the important frames as <code>x+n</code> and <code>y+</code>n (where <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> are numbers of first important frame for left and for right leg and n is some constant offset) and just adjust the <code>n</code> if and when necessery.</p>

<p>Even better if the software cold actually detect which frames may be important.</p>

<p>So, can this be done and if yes then what software do I need?</p>

I'm afraid your question seems to be self- contradictory. You say you want to make stop motion video from video. Then you say you want to remove yourself from video. UK have some other questions in there which don't seem to make sense in this context either.

I accidently left few words while editing. What I'm trying to achieve is to remove all frames except walk cycle key frames (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walk_cycle). I want to get something like on that video - impression of fast moving world while person walks slowly.

Have a look at time posterization. It might achieve the effect you want. Premiere Pro and After Effects are supplied with this effect, but other software could have it too. Could you please add in your question which video software you already have and what platform(s) you want it for.

# What software can I use to make "stop motion" video from existing video material

(Asked by: username_0 on 2012-12-01)

I want to make video like this:

While I know they used different technique (stop motion from photos), I would want to make mine from existing video of person walking. So my question is: what software would automatically remove every frame except the ones I mark as important for walk animation (ie.: frames in which left or right leg is in specific position so the walk impression is preserved).

Even better, the video I currently have has pretty systematic walk so I guess it would be nice if I could specify the important frames as `x+n` and `y+`n (where `x` and `y` are numbers of first important frame for left and for right leg and n is some constant offset) and just adjust the `n` if and when necessery.

Even better if the software cold actually detect which frames may be important.

So, can this be done and if yes then what software do I need?
