Stopmotion Explosion Animator

Stopmotion Explosion Animator is stop motion software for building a movie from individual frames. Its iOS app captures and previews frames as you animate, with onion-skinning to compare a new frame against earlier captures. Users can save and reload animations, adjust frame rate, use an image grid for composition and manually adjust and lock camera focus. The app also plays animations and exports video for YouTube uploads or editing in other apps. The maker says the iOS app supports iOS 12 and later and offers frame capture, onion-skinning, playback and export on iPhone and iPad. The App Store lists Video Export Unlock as a $1.99 in-app purchase. Windows software adds HD webcam support, frame import, a basic timeline, live-video and last-frame switching, and a resizable video window. It can save frames as BMP, PNG or JPG and export AVI or MP4 with codec and bitrate settings. The maker says higher camera resolutions can be selected for its animation kit and stop motion cameras. The product is listed for iOS, macOS and Windows.
