stopmotion - the exorcist

I edited this claymation using iMovies, I first converted a video from Youtube from www.onlinevideoconverter.com. After I cut some parts out and inserted the title and credits, I then went to Share, Export Movie and exported it in Documents and saved it as a large .m4v

Flash symbol - show tweening

Above is the image I used to create my simple animation, firstly I opened this in Adobe Flash then Convert to Symbol (screenshot below). I then clicked onto the 40th frame in the timeline and inserted a frame, i then right clicked onto the 40th frame in the timeline, selected motion tween and inserted a key frame. I selected the 20th frame and inserted another keyframe then selected the image, went to colour then Alpha (see below) took the image transparency down to 0% then saved my motion tween as a GIF file, went to Control and Test Movie to make sure it worked.
