💖 STOPMOTION(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the man page for qStopMotion — literally a program for creating stop-motion animations, sitting in the General Commands Manual section of your manual pages. it's giving ✨animation studio but make it a command✨. let's get into it 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

qStopMotion file

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one little file argument and you're off 🌸

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so, real talk: this manual page is just a lil intro to the program, and it documents the commands you can use when you're running it in non GUI mode. that's right, no windows, no buttons, just you and the terminal being iconic 💅

qStopMotion is a program for creating stop-motion animations out of a couple of images. and the way it works? you can use your favourite video device for grabbing the images, as long as you've got a program capable of doing it — you just set qStopMotion to use that program. lowkey genius. 🫶 and yes, you can do the same thing with video export too, no cap.

also stopmotion has a whole set of tools that helps you create movements that are smooth and precise. periodt. 🔥

💅 OPTIONS 💅

Stopmotion follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-).

okay so heads up bestie: this part of the program is under construction and not yet fully usable 😭. so don't come for it, it's a work in progress, fr fr.

a summary of options is included below 👇

• -a DIR, --addFrames=DIR — creates a new project containing the images located in DIR (e.g. /foo/bar) 🎬
