Dragonframe is a professional tool that lets users create stop motion movies and animation. There are quite a few programs that allow users to create and edit animations on their Mac. Dragonframe is one of these stop motion animation creation and editing tools.
Stop motion movies are a type of animation that is based on frames and captured one by one to be joined into a video file. Dragonframe helps make sure everything lines up, from motion to sound and more.
To use Dragonframe properly, you're going to need a camera with which to take the frames you'll be merging to create your clip or movie. Then it's just about editing and tweaking to ensure everything lines up to your liking. Dragonframe comes with a lot of cool features that include tabbed workspaces to make it easy to jump from project to project, a timeline editor, and even a comprehensive lip-sync system for adding dialogue to your movie. In addition, vector-based drawing tools allow you to resize, rotate, and adjust any objects you've drawn onscreen. The scaling is also quite smooth.
Beginners will likely find that a substantial amount of time will be initially taken up with learning how to navigate Dragonframe's expansive interface. Installation can also be a little bit of a pain. Dragonframe requires versionor higher of Apple's QuickTime movie viewing program, or else the program won't even open. Testing revealed that a PC restart was required for Dragonframe to recognize the QuickTime update. Once recognized though, the program is quick to open, and you can begin your stop motion movie-making experience.
For a comprehensive and feature-rich way to create stop motion movies, look no further than Dragonframe.
