Animate like the Pros
iStopMotion 2 Express offers you most of the same professional animation tools that allow the pros to make the most amazing music videos, ads, TV shows and even feature films at a reasonable price. Create animations with resolutions of up to PAL/NTSC.
Animate to Sound
In most professional animation productions, the sound is recorded before the animation. Record your soundtrack in GarageBand or any other sound tool and import it into iStopMotion. It will show you the audio waveform so that you can easily identify critical events like the beat in background music if you want your animation to match that.
Rotoscope
Imagine you want to animate a dialog. Getting the mouth movements right is very tough, even if with the soundtrack waveform. Better just sit in front of your camera, record yourself speaking the dialog and then load that movie into iStopMotion Express as an animation guide. Now it's easy to get the dialog right.
Virtual Stage
Shoot your own background pictures or movies and animate dinosaurs into them. Put a real actor into an animated background. The amazing power of chroma keying (also called blue- or green-screening) brings ambitious movie ideas within your reach.
Adding titles, cuts, effects
iStopMotion is a recording tool. It does one thing and it does it well: help you take footage. Cut your movie, add titles, transitions and effects with one of the powerful movie editing apps out there. iStopMotion produces files that can easily be used with iMovie, Final Cut, Adobe Premiere or other apps that can read QuickTime files.
Share it with the world
Once you have finished your movie, tell the world about it. Upload it to a movie sharing service such as YouTube and send us the link. We can post it to the Examples page and mention it in our newsletter. We might even give it an "Excellent iStopMotion Example Award".
