Capture the perfect picture.

Capturing images has never been easier before. No matter if you choose automatic or full manual control of camera settings such as focus, exposure, ISO, and white balance. Capture images in 4K or use a live green-screen effect. You can also use a second device as a remote camera to get a new perspective.

Use your digital camera.

Stop Motion Studio supports digital cameras from all the most popular camera makers, including Canon, Nikon, and Sony. Use live view to easily control objects and movements. Control shutter speed, ISO and aperture directly from the app and take advantage of the full-size camera quality.

• Check camera compatibility.

Desktop-class movie editing.

The unique frame-by-frame view shows you all the images you took in chronological order, much like the single frames of a movie. Cut, copy, paste, delete, and insert frames at any position. Zoom in and out on the timeline view so you never get lost, even if you have hundreds of frames. Add audio clips, titles, credits, and filter effects. Creating the movie the way you want it.

Discover the ease of animating with In- and Out Points.

With Stop Motion Studio you can quickly set In and Out points to mark a specific portion of your movie for playback and looping. Then use the loop playback to animate the sequence until it looks perfect.

Use composition guides for perfect positioning.

Use the Grid and Onion Skin controls to help you position animated objects more easily and precisely. Define aspect ratio masks and safe guides. Add a path layer to define movements, use the draw tool to mark positions or load an image or video file as a reference. The onion skin overlays the last captured frame on top of your camera’s live view. This way, you can see how far you have moved your character between frames.

Bring it all to life with great sound effects.

Stop Motion Studio comes with dozens of sound effects and music clips for you ready to use in your movie. Bring characters to life by recording a voice over track directly to your movie. Use the built-in audio editor to trim the audio clip, set fade-in and -out, change the volume or add dozen of funny audio effects to sound like an alien, a robot, or an old radio station.

Make it your canvas.

Use the different painting tools to paint as you would on a traditional canvas. Control brush size and strength. Add multiple layers to define foreground and background objects. Use the painting tools to get creative. Draw a laser sword to a figure or fireworks in the sky. Stop Motion Studio has Apple Pencil support for and works great on the iPad Pro.

Magically get rid of unwanted objects in your movie.

The masking tool in Stop Motion Studio will help you to make unwanted objects to disappear from the image. Erase objects like a string you used to hang objects during capturing. The eraser has two tools, conceal and reveal. Reveal will reveal the clean frame image wherever you touch the image, whereas the conceal brush will restore the original frame image.

Turn good looking pictures into spectacular.

Use the image editor in Stop Motion Studio to change the composition, adjust color levels, or apply amazing filter effects. Everything is nondestructive to let you perfect all the details.
