If that doesnt work you can use the "Direct link" and put the img codes in yourself.

This sucks! I use WMM and when I use a 0.125 pic duration it is choppy but when I put it to twice that speed it's too fast and I'm taking as many pics as I can! :/

[NEW™]

To be honest, I do it faster because it looks smoother to me, also, delete some frames if you have to to make it smoother. Because, if you take lots of pictures, you might have taken too many. So, I suggest the faster speed instead of the slower speed and delete some pics. +1 if this helps.

Arghhh! I tried to animate a suplex but the figures kept coming away fom each other. Help?

[Matt]

That happens with me alot aswell, maybe use something to hold them together? eg. tape or something. Or use alot of string, and use a pole or something to hold all the string on so you don't drop and or get it in knots or stuff? +1 if this helps, sorry I don't know much about that kinda thing, but you could try it

[The Viper]

THanks matt, i'm gonna try anothe one tonight

Anyone got any good tutorials? I wanna make a belly to belly suplex

[Zack]

belly to belly is kinda easy for me though i made like 4 before but never posted them because my cam is not letting me to put them in WMM that time but for belly to belly use tapes to hold them together (body & legs) then when the other guy(whom is gonna get hit) is gonna be thrown in the air take off the tapes on their legs and use strings instead to hold the legs (and maybe if the hitter is moving a lot,tape/use blu tack the hitter's leg on the floor) and keep doing this until the hitter falls to the ground so you could focus on the other guy more then keep taking pics by pics till the other guy falls down +1 if this helps
EDIT:i will MAYBE do one later and i will post it here
