iStopMotion 3.1, the latest upgrade to Boinx Softwares award-winning stop motion animation software, now includes a Screen Capture feature, requested by many users. Artists can easily capture frames from the screen to create stop motion animations or timelapse movies by pairing the software with illustration programs such as Photoshop or InDesign, or any other app, for example, to document the creation of a drawing. They can then export movies in Apple ProRes format (if the codec is installed), and import directly into Final Cut Pro X for further editing, without the need to transcode. iStopMotion 3.1 continues to be perfected with bug fixes for better functionality.
The iStopMotion screen capture feature is exceptional. It is a real pleasure to watch the application in action, comments Cody Creed, an art teacher from Manitoba, Canada who tested out the new screen capture capability in iStopMotion 3.1. As an artist, I wish to share my process. This feature makes it easy to show how I create images from scratch in a dynamic and interesting way. I also find it works great in spaces. That way you can capture without the visual clutter of two applications at once. It has a great deal of potential, which will be realized when the art community gets their hands on it.
Creed has been using both the Mac and iPad versions of iStopMotion in the classroom for years and has students animate things like scientific processes and current events. He says the interactivity and ability to see certain processes sped up in a stop motion animation helps students better understand certain concepts.
Watch "lunar oculus," a timelapse of a drawing Creed illustrated in Photoshop, recorded with iStopMotion 3.1.
Investing in new features for iStopMotion always yields great returns in the form of incredible, new, creative stop motion movies or timelapse videos created by the users, says Oliver Breidenbach, CEO, Boinx Software. I remember when I went to school, we were shown a timelapse of Picasso drawing, which was mesmerizing to watch. I am looking forward to seeing many other clever ways to use this new feature of iStopMotion for Mac.
Charlie Collier, a 20-year-old Texas native, also uses iStopMotion for all of his stop motion animation needs. Most recently, he created a music video for singer/songwriter Lincoln Durhams song Ballad of a Prodigal Son, using iStopMotion to animate handmade props and scenery perfectly to the music.
I really like iStopMotion. Its really helpful and thats what I like about it its not overly complicated, allows you to do some editing, and is effective without trying to be something its not, says Collier. You can import the audio track and see the waveform in the timeline. That was an awesome feature to have when I was animating Lincolns character to play along with the guitar. If it wasnt for that feature, Id be really angry.
