OKIOCAM Stop-Motion
OKIOCAM Stop-Motion turns snapshots captured with an OKIOCAM into stop-motion videos. OKIOLABS presents it as a classroom creativity tool for teachers and students, and the software is intended for use with an OKIOCAM. It is available free on Windows, Mac OS, and as a Chrome extension. The desktop app provides mirror, onion skinning, rotate, reset, zoom, and project import and export. Onion skinning displays the previous snapshot’s object positions to help adjust the next frame. Projects can use a chosen frame rate, with 10 fps as the default. Unfinished work can be saved as a ZIP file and imported later. Exported videos and images cannot be reopened as editable projects. Users can add royalty-free music or local MP3, WAV, OGG, or FLAC audio. The Chrome extension can connect to a Google Account to save videos and snapshots in Google Drive, and the downloads page lists Google Classroom integration. OKIOLABS says its apps do not require personal information to be submitted directly to the company; Google handles sign-in details and uploaded content. The free plan costs nothing and has no free trial.
