In their own words
Cloud Stop Motion
Cloud Stop Motion is a browser-based tool for making stop-motion animations. It captures images one frame at a time from webcams or built-in device cameras, with onion skinning and timing controls to help arrange each sequence. Its timeline lets users reorder, trim, and duplicate clips, and supports imported or recorded music, sound effects, and narration. Chroma key tools replace backgrounds; users can also import images and make timelapse sequences. Completed movies can be rendered as MP4, saved in an online library, and shared with students, families, or collaborators. Projects are stored online for continued work across signed-in devices, without installing software. It supports web, Windows, Android, Linux, macOS, and iOS; the maker describes browser use on Chromebooks and tablets as well. Schools can use Google or Microsoft sign-in, or username and password accounts, while administrators can manage users, classes, roles, and permissions. Free individual accounts are not for educational use; school students need an organization account. Free Starter costs nothing; Personal Premium costs $4.50 a year, and Schools & Organizations costs $4 a year.
