Movies from still images

Moving pictures are an illusion created by a timed sequence of still images called frames. The below animation was created from 15 sequential images displayed at every 1/10th of a second. (A frame rate of 10 frames per second.)

You can also create a movie from numerous still images like slides in a slide show.

The number of frames divided by the frame rate determines the duration of your movie. Therefore if you want to make a 30 second movie from a still image at a frame rate of 30, you'll need to make 900 copies of the image or you can let the multiply button will do the work for you.

Please note that the multiplier doesn't actually make copies of the original, it just adds the same file name to the list repeatedly.
