It is a bit of an resource hog, and it spends its time around 100%+ when doing time-lapse, but it don't seem to slow the computer down, so I guess it uses as much as it can while still being a good citizen. Had some problem with crashing using the time-lapse function when hooked up to my HDV-camera, but the developer sent me a new version to try the next day.

The app is great, and my main goal was to see if I could use my HD camera in a stop motion application.įirst of all - this is a professional piece of software. Dragon stop motion works great with the iSight, and other (lower resolution) cameras that I have. You find yourself doing onion skins manually, which works, but is really time consuming compared to this software. It turns out that my camera comes with it's own live view software, which is nice, but it doesn't have any of the fantastic features of Dragon Stop motion. The two big holdups for me on this app are:ġ) The price (though I'd be willing to pay if it could overcome #2 below):Ģ) It does not work with my camera (which is NOT Dragon Stop Motions Fault) none of the stop motion programs I have tried will work with my camera because I don't have the proper connection - you need a camera that supports live view.

BUT, having said that, Dragon Stop motion has a really clean interface, and I found the interface preferable to other stop motion software I have tried. The reason for that is the price seemed a little too high for me. First off: I have only used the demo version.

Animators can view several individual frames overlaid for comparison, and they can preview sequences of frames overlaid on a moving background. The software allows the user to manipulate the camera and the scene, and then to combine the frames into a sequence of animated frames. Additional hardware add-ons can be connected for controlling lighting and camera movement. To create basic stop motion animations, the software controls a digital camera.
