Tips
- The higher the number of frames per second, the smoother your movie will look.
- You can use Bridge (Camera Raw) to rearrange frames and make basic adjustments such as color and exposure adjustments that may be needed.
- Make sure you number the images in sequential order. This step is easier to do using Bridge. Select all images and open them in “Camera Raw”. Once in the “Camera Raw” window, re-select all images. Click “Save As”, select a starting number, and specify the number of digits in the extension number.
