In their own words
AnimaShooter
AnimaShooter is software for making stop-motion animation with webcams and supported DSLR cameras. It runs on Windows and Linux, though its Capture edition is not available for Linux. For supported Canon DSLRs, Capture uses Live View to assist with video composition and takes a full-resolution still when you press the capture button. Other camera brands can connect through a video capture device. Editing tools include timeline frame management, onionskin, rotoscope, RAM preview, paths and image filters. Export options include AVI, MKV, OGV, WebM, animated WebP and image sequences. Junior and Pioneer support USB webcams, with listed resolution up to WQUXGA (3840×2400). The free Junior plan is for USB webcams and has a limited feature set. The maker also lists free features such as project saving and loading, sequence editing and export, filters, chromakey preview and video import. A 21-day trial has no functional, watermark or frame-count limits. Linux downloads include AppImage and deb packages.
