 Stop Motion Pro is a software tool for making stop motion and other animated films. It requires a video camera, webcam or digital still camera and is compatible with Win XP, Vista or Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit).
Stop Motion Pro stores each frame on the computer, not video or film. Using a video camera, digital still camera or webcam, a Windows PC and Stop Motion Pro it is possible to capture one frame of a puppet or object, make a small change and then capture another frame. After this is repeated several times the illusion of movement builds. There are up to 30 frames every second in video, so it is possible to create very smooth animation. You can animate virtually anything that can be put in front of a camera - Clay figures, paper cut-outs, beads, sand, toys and even people.

Given the huge success of USB keypads to control Stop Motion Pro we have released quality US made keypad stickers. These stickers are fantastically simple. Supply your own USB Keypad (from most computer shops), assign functions to the keys and stick on the shortcut symbol. You will eventually not need to use a mouse, therefore you will be able to produce more animation. Not using the mouse means you keep your train of thought on the animation, rather than the computer interface.
