In their own words
AnyMotion
AnyMotion is an iOS and macOS tool for creating stop-motion animations, timelapse videos, Hyperlapse projects, and GIFs. Users can capture frames live, select a camera module, use a Bluetooth remote controller, and apply frame optimization. The editor provides a project timeline, effects, aspect-ratio selection, playback direction, speed, and frames-per-second controls, plus photo import from the gallery. Onion skinning helps compare successive frames. Users can choose formats for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Twitter. Export supports 4K video and GIF creation, including infinitely looping GIFs. The app requires iOS 15.0 or later and lists iPad and Mac compatibility, with macOS 12.0 or later for Mac. AnyMotion has a free download with in-app purchases. The Unlimited introductory yearly offer costs $0.99 a year, billed as a first month for $0.99 followed by $39.99 per year. Yearly access costs $39.99 a year. Unlimited plans include limitless frames, creative video tutorials, high-quality export, no watermark, and no ads. The terms grant a temporary license for personal, non-commercial viewing and prohibit commercial use under that license.
