Stopmotion – create stop-motion animation movies

Last Updated on May 5, 2023

Stopmotion is software for creating stop motion animations. A stop motion animation is an animation which is built by taking many pictures of some object while moving it a little between each picture. When these pictures are run you get an animation.

You can create stop motion animations with images grabbed from your favourite video device. You just set stopmotion to use a grabber program which works with your device. It is also possible to do the same with video export; just plug in an encoder capable of doing video export from couple of images.

Stopmotion has a set of tools which helps you creating the movements smooth and precise.

Features include:

• Preview animations.
• Export video.
• Use with a web camera.
• Add sound to animations.
