How to add Stop Motion Player to your website

Embed Stop Motion Player on Your Website

01

Create a Stop Motion Player widget for your website on Common Ninja

First, create a Stop Motion Player widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the Stop Motion Player and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Stop Motion Player widget

When you're done creating the Stop Motion Player widget, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Stop Motion Player Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Stop Motion Player widget to your website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the widget embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your website.

04

Paste the code to your Platform website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Platform website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Platform’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Stop Motion Player Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Stop Motion Player widget on your Platform website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Stop Motion Player widget on your Platform widget. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Platform website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Stop Motion Player widget to your Platform website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Platform website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Stop Motion Player widget when you want to tell a visual story frame by frame using a sequence of images rather than a standard video. It lets you control pacing and interactivity while keeping file sizes manageable. This is ideal for product rotations, step by step processes, creative animations, and playful branding moments. Visitors can watch as an object changes, a drawing evolves, or a concept comes to life. Stop motion has a distinctive, handcrafted feel that can differentiate your brand. With a dedicated player, you avoid stitching assets externally and still give users smooth, engaging playback on your site.
