iMotion vs Koma Koma

iMotion is an iOS app for creating time-lapse and stop-motion videos. Capture options include time-lapse, manual frames, microphone-triggered capture, and importing images from the library. Users can adjust focus, exposure, and white balance, with live frame capture and onion skinning available for frame work. Another device can control recording for stable, hands-free shooting. The built-in editor trims, adjusts, and refines footage, with timeline editing. Exports are available in 4K UHD, 1080p, or 720p HD and can be shared as videos, photos, or animated GIFs. The free plan has limited features. Yearly Premium costs $39.99 a year after a 7-day free trial and provides unlimited access; it renews automatically unless disabled at least 24 hours before the period ends. iMotion requires iOS 13.0 or later on iPhone and iPadOS 13.0 or later on iPad. The privacy policy says user data and photos remain on the device, while anonymous aggregated analytics may be collected and the App Store disclosure lists identifiers and usage data used for tracking. Enterprise sales are available for teams, labs, classrooms, institutions, studios, and educational environments.

Koma Koma is stop-motion animation software developed to connect animation and education. Its iPad app provides controls for capturing and deleting frames, loop playback, and saving. It supports variable frame rates from 1 fps to 30 fps, 1280×720 images, onion skinning, and automatic capture at intervals from 3 seconds to 10 minutes. A Koma Koma movie can contain up to 999 frames; Koma Koma Lite is limited to 18 frames per work. Movies can be saved to Camera Roll, and work can be emailed as flip-book-format images. The Windows and Mac program includes a reflection function for arranging clips on screen and adding comments, as well as network sharing between multiple terminals, such as in a classroom. That program runs with Adobe AIR, and its maker says distribution is limited to a set number of test users. Listed computer requirements are Windows XP through Windows 7 or Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7. The iPad app requires iPad 2 or newer and iOS 5 or later. The maker lists Koma Koma as free.
