Hi,
I'm doing a project that requires me to make a stop motion animation look from stills. How do I get that jittery and broken motion effects that is seen in stop motion animation?

Pixelation of still images is a time-tested and honored animation technique. What makes stop action animation look that way are the flaws in position and orientation and flaws in the materials like edge curling.
Posterize time will give you an illusion if your comps are rendered but it won't give them a "look."

Were these stills shot in the style of stop motion animation? In other words, did the person taking the stills mimic what one would shoot with a motion picture camera?
Or are they instead stills that one would move around the screen in a herky-jerky fashion?

These were just stills that I need to move around the comp... I know I won't get the real look of stop motion, I just didn't have the time to actually make a stop motion animation... Anyway, I try doing it with the wiggler and toggle hold keyframe... I guess this is as close as I can get...

Why not just change the frame rate of your comp? In PAL, I think 5 frames/sec would work nicely, and in NTSC, I would use 6 frames/sec. That way, you don't have to use keyframes to do it.
