What is so great about it?
iStopMotion is the premier Stop Motion Animation and Time Lapse Capture tool for Mac OS X. We created iStopMotion because we love Stop Motion Animation. When we were kids, we used our fatherīs camera (commemorated in the iStopMotion application icon) to shoot movies with Lego, Playmobil and other toys.
What's New in 1.10.3
- Visual refresh of the main window. Less pixels waisted on textured window background.
- Fixed a few issues in the registration process. If you previously registered iStopMotion and did not receive an email reply from Boinx Software please try registering again.
- Fixed an encoding issue with some localized strings.
Cool Animation Tools
The way iStopMotion helps animators is nothing short of revolutionary. The level of control you get from seeing the previously taken frame and the current live feed from the camera is outstanding. Animate quickly and precisely.
- Transparent preview gives animators precise control
- Onion Skinning makes movement more visible
- Frames based user interface for easy editing
- Title/Action Safe Area overlay

High Image Quality
Very important for professionals, iStopMotion preserves as much image quality as possible by storing the individual frames uncompressed. The noise reduction feature increases image quality for video/web cameras whose CCD chips are often optimised for speed while risking noise in the single frame.
- Images are stored at maximum quality uncompressed
- HR license allows big screen movies
- Digital Still camera support (Read important information)
- Noise Reduction feature improves image quality from videocameras and the Apple iSight

Stability and Ease of Use
Based entirely on modern Mac OS X features, iStopMotion offers a high level of functionality while staying mean and lean.
- Uses solid and robust Mac OS X Cocoa Frameworks
- Supports Devices that support QuickTime
- Clean and intuitive Interface
- Easy to deploy in labs, support for multiuser

Time Lapse Recording
iStopMotion supports unattended, timer based capturing of frames to create time lapse recordings both with video sources and Still Image cameras (Read important information). Aside from the emotional values of these recordings, time lapse also has many benefits in education.
- Timer based image capture
- Support for Time Lapse with Still Cameras
