Stop Motion with BMCC

Is there a way to use Blackmagic Cinema Cameras for Stop Motion Photography? Is it possible to grab .dng frames through one of the Blackmagic Capture cards?
Thanking you for your Input.

You can use Timelapse set to take one frame every ten seconds, but kill it after that single frame while you then move your characters for the next frame. Redo ad nauseum. But I can tell that patience is your virtue.

Of course you want to end up with a movie so you need a strategy to get your individual frames into a video.

There’s no external DNG “capture” mechanism but it’s simple enough to access the onboard media.

Good Luck

Thanks for the replies. But this is not for Time Lapse. What I am looking for is a way to externally capture single frames. Years ago Adobe Premier had a short cut to capture Still Frames from (then) capture cards. But that feature is not available.

Original cinema camera and production camera 4k not have single shot shooting, only Timelapse.

I use it (Bmpc4k) to do many simple animation in stop motion like one man band.

You should find your right stop/waiting range and it’s easier and faster than you think instead to press anytime a grab on an interface like dragonframe and similar.

If you go on recent pockets or newer cinema camera they shoot single frame braw or (pocket only) if you setup in ProRes the single frame grab is cdng.

Premiere does capture from out of video monitor from cameras, not a raw, or a dng.

Thanks for the replies. But this is not for Time Lapse...

We know that. Reread the replies.

My post was not creating a timelapse, just using the timeline method to capture a single frame and then you kill the timelapse session so you could take whatever time you need to perform your stop motion scene changes between the single frame takes.
