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.

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. …More10 of 15 people found this useful
