You should try VirtualDUB with the MSU deflicker plug-in. It's totally free and work better than other software I've tried.
You don't have to tweak any settings, it's working directly.
It's available for Windows.

You could even shoot way higher res than 1920x1080 if you put the camera in stills mode and shoot timelapse, say 5fps, which is what I'd expect this playback speed it (6 times quicker than realtime, at 30fps, although you could easily playback at 24fps too)... Things to watch out for here would be lens distortion, ie a reasonably wide lens would produce ...

Erase and redraw
If you play the first video frame by frame (by pausing the video and pressing the left or right key) you see that moving objects are erased and redrawn again and again. The line properties (thickness, straightness) change a little bit between frames, hinting that the line is redrawn each time (best seen at 0:45).

One frame at a time. Many film cameras (as opposed to video cameras) will allow the creator to shoot a single frame of film. The camera is set up on a tripod, pointing at countertop with the Quest Bar, strawberries, and peanuts on it. The filmmaker shoots one frame of film. Then he/she moves the Quest Bar a couple millimeters to the right. Then shoots ...

This is a really late response but I just stumbled onto the question.
The software you're looking for is Adobe After Effects.
Inside After Effects, you'll end up using the effect called "Time Remapping".
Open After Effects
Import all your frames as an image sequence
Create a composition(whatever resolution/framerate you'd like)
Drag your image sequence ...

You can choose which frame of footage is shown by enabling Time Remapping for the layer. Find it in the layer menu, or by right-clicking a layer in the timeline, or by using ctrl / ⌘alt / ⌥t
Turn it on for a layer and the displayed time is set by the value of the Time Remap property, which can be keyframed or controlled with expressions. Once you've applied ...

Your idea sounds absolutely possible. On the other hand you write that you have never done any stop motion.
I think it would be very well advised to start with some basic techniques (by hand) and then see what you can maybe automate in the future.
Building puppets that can be easily animated is a already a complex task, since it usually involves building ...

The most basic principal of stop motion is taking pictures of still objects,moving them slightly for each frame, then playing them very quickly to give the illusion of movement. For example, when the bar came out of the package the animator started with a frame of the closed package. Than they opened the end of the package then they took another frame(...

This is most likely a problem related to the app you are using to create/view these stop-motion videos. If you have portrait-orientated pictures, creating a video accordingly is simply a matter of setting the right video dimensions (i.e. video width and height in pixels); basically every video editing software allows you to set this manually or choose from a ...

Well in that case you would export the video from VideoScribe and then edit it together with your other video material in an video editing program (also referred to as NLE).
Quite straight forward process, how you do this step by step depends on the video editing software you want to use.
There is the free Lightworks and commercial solutions like Adobe ...
