Eagle Animation vs Moving Picture Studio

Eagle Animation is free, open-source software for creating stop-motion animation frame by frame. It runs as a desktop application on Windows, macOS, and Linux, or in a browser where the same software requires no sign-up or ads. Its timeline supports previewing, duplicating, and rearranging frames by drag-and-drop. Users can capture photos directly from webcams and supported DSLR cameras with live preview. Animation tools include adjustable onion skin, grids and margins, difference mode, and masking without a green screen. Image controls include frame averaging, manual exposure and white balance, high-resolution camera live view, and lossless full-resolution capture. Finished animations can be exported as video files, or frames can be exported for use in video-editing software. The project lists support for more than 20 languages and more than 520 cameras. Desktop downloads are provided for Windows 10/11 64-bit, macOS 11 or later on Intel and Apple Silicon, and 64-bit Linux distributions. On macOS and Linux, DSLR support in browsers uses WebUSB on Chromium-based browsers. The source code is published under GPLv3.
