No - I never used stopmotion but know in principle what it is doing and
when I fired up the help system of OpenShots it started talking about

completely broken which I'm sometimes honestly afraid of).

I'd recommend sending a text like this to upstream for inclusion in
their help system ...
Thanks to you and Klaus for enlighting me
