In their own words
Koma Koma
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.
