Piximakey Studio is a child-friendly app for making stop-motion and greenscreen movies, recommended from age 3. Its Ghost Image tool helps users shift figures in small increments to create animation. The greenscreen feature can replace green or another selected color with a digital background. Users can capture frames live, use onion skinning and timeline editing, record voices and sound effects, and add music and sounds. The app page also lists one-click sharing. Piximakey Studio is designed to work with the company’s physical stop-motion studios. One project can be created without an access code; an access code is needed for full use and can be requested and activated in the app. The free plan costs nothing, and a free trial is listed. Piximakey Education is intended for schools and childcare, with an app adapted for school privacy and data-processing requirements. The app is available for iOS and Android. Piximakey says its journey began with a successful Kickstarter in fall 2020.
