I don’t think you can, the program is just too basic. You shouldn’t be using windows movie Maker to actually shoot or compile your animation together anyways. You should use a program specifically designed for stop-motion animation purposes to actually compile your movie, then edit your larger clips afterwards in a video editing program like Windows Movie Maker. An animation program will make it easier to arrange, re-arrange, add and delete single frames. Typically, playing around with multiple single frames is kind of difficult and bothersome in video editors since they weren’t designed with frame by frame animation as a primary function in mind.

To actually frame-grab and compile the movie, I’d suggest using Monkeyjam if you’re on a PC. It’s free.

Both of these programs will let you set your own frame rate and give you greater control of individual frames.
