    iStopMotion2 is GREAT!

    I have the first edition and loved it and just bought the Home version which has a few more options than the original. I like it, but will upgrade to the EXPRESS version as I will be able to choose a picture to put for the background.(blue screen) Very simple to use. Third graders have no problem doing stop action animation with this software. I use it on my MacBook and will use it as usual for school projects on our Mac minis.

    Version 2 is awesome and has been stable for me. The voice recognition really made my project easy and the other upgrades make this application worth it. More

    does not work with HD Cams

    It does what it says on the tin BUT it will not work with camera resolutions greater
    than 720x576 ( widescreen standard definition ). As most camcorders are now HD, this software version is a bit pointless as you require the PRO version at $460 extra. More

    Good with a big gotcha!

    Good software but beware the supported resolution for the Istop 2 is very low. The software seems to downgrade the resolution of your camera. To get high quality video you have to upgrade to the pro version for over 400.00! Read carefully. More
