• Preview animation as you film it instantly at a full 30 frames per second.
• Edit your animation with thumbnail views.
• Add a sound track (with a microphone, or using a pre recorded audio clip).
• Chromakey (blue/greenscreen) for special effects.
• Onionskin the live video (so you can compare live video to previously captured frames).
• Export video compatible with video editing applications, such as Windows Movie Maker.
• Loop animation sequences ("loop range"), to get a better feel for the animation flow, you can include the live view from your camera to see how the movement is progressing.
• Programmable shortcut keys, to customise the interface.
• Reduced file space by storing frames as Jpegs.
• Automatic backup of a student's projects to a network server.

What educators are saying about Stop Motion Pro:

"Animation can be used very well in building teams and strengthening bonds in a group, you can use it
to make non-expressive students perform without having to show themselves" Morten Kulseng

"Our students and summer campers have mastered this user-friendly software program, creating some
truly awesome animations, many of which have been broadcast on national TV!" Ronnie Scullion

"After many trial runs of freeware and other products, we chose Stop Motion Pro due to
its simple and user-friendly qualities..." Neal Hanowitz

"At Takotna Community School we use Stop Motion Pro to improve the students' knowledge and use of
technology... this work also uses math in creating scale, timing, synchronizing movement and sound and working
in all areas of production." Bob Absher

"Using Stopmotion Pro HD enabled the students to work with professional equipment and achieve
professional looking results. SMP is easy to use and even students with techno-fear are easily taught
how to operate it." Anne Terkelsen
