Although I had access to the more complex movie editing programs I felt confident using iMovie and knew I wouldn't be using any effects so a more detailed program was not needed.
Once I had imported all the frames into the program I highlighted all of them in order to alter the settings. The top right 'i' button allowed me to change the duration of each frame, I brought this down to 0.1. The frames then moved at a fast enough pace so they then looked animated when placed together. After this I needed to change the settings of the picture as they would automatically zoom in, I used the crop tool and put all the frames under the 'fit' setting. This setting kept the frame as a normal still picture.
iMovie being an apple product also linked up with its other programs such as itunes. This meant testing out sounds tracks was very simple as everything was already loaded onto the computer and ready to go. After I found the right sound track that fitted the animation I would drag it below the frames and apply fade out setting so the track wouldn't suddenly stop as the track is fairly longer than my animation.
After all the frames were placed together and I was happy with the final result I had to export the clip as an MP4 file so I would be compatible with all computers and not just Apples.
