MOTK Shoot
MOTK Shoot is a free, browser-based stop-motion capture studio for camera-room work, with a focused Windows local edition. Its webcam and UVC workflow runs in a browser on phones, tablets, and desktop computers without an installer. Capture tools include live view, holds, test frames, onion skin, composition guides, shooting layers, audio, and X-Sheet cues. For review, users can step through frames, play a short range, and use a timeline with holds and undo. Captures are stored first in browser IndexedDB; compatible desktop browsers can also mirror JPEGs to a selected local folder. The guide describes local saving as the default, with network data sent for configured context URLs or optional Companion/tether, Observer, and bridge features. Camera tethering uses a local agent, and compatibility varies by camera and setup. The web edition documents workflows with After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and Maxon Autograph. The Windows edition retains core capture and review functions but omits production administration, the external bridge, and post-production adapters from its normal interface. The project is for shooting and immediate review, not production planning or picture editing.
