In their own words
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.
Stop Motion Studio
Stop Motion Studio is an app for creating stop-motion animation with frame-by-frame capture and editing. It runs on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. Camera capture can be automatic or manual, with controls for focus, exposure, ISO, and white balance; the app can create 4K video. Editing tools include a frame-by-frame editor, zoomable timeline, audio, titles, credits, and filters. Onion skinning, composition guides, a path layer, and reference images or video support planning movement and framing. The product page also describes DSLR control with Live View and in-app shutter speed, ISO, and aperture settings. Finished movies can be saved as video, GIF, sticker, or flipbook; raw images can also be exported, and projects transferred to another device. The free mobile version costs nothing and includes core classroom features such as frame-by-frame capture, onion skinning, and video export. Green screen, rotoscoping, 4K export, and other advanced tools require an upgrade. The Pro app for iPhone and iPad is listed at $5.99, paid once, with no subscription. The maker says there is no trial or free version for Windows or macOS.
