How to create stop motion animation from still footage in Adobe After Effects (tutorial)

The video shows how to create a stop motion animation in After Effects in any frame rate you desire. For some weird reason, there is no way to change the frame rate when doing a sequential import, so I found this way to do it which works nicely.

The animation I am working on at the moment (and in the video) is "every morning I draw a map" by Barnaby Dixon & Bazyli Brzóska.

@AndrewH1998 hi, just load them in the opposite order, or sort them before making an animation out of them! cheers

Great! I needed this! Now, how do you reverse the frames so that they play ion proper chronological order?

[bArT8472]

@huttwigley hey. You can just import them in reverse order. Or make a new composition and nest it into another one reversed (though that's a bit of a hack ;) ).
