In their own words
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.
TupiTube
TupiTube is free 2D animation software intended as an introduction to animation for children, teenagers, and amateur artists. TupiTube Desk runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, while TupiTube App is available for Android phones and tablets. Desk’s tools include drawing, shape, selection, fill, and tweening options. A scenes manager, exposure sheet, and timeline organize scenes, frames, and layers; onion skin can show neighboring frames over the canvas with adjustable opacity. The object library accepts JPG, PNG, GIF, and SVG images. TupiTube can import Papagayo lip-sync files with mouth images and a WAV sound file. Sound support is still under development, and the FAQ recommends combining animation with sound effects in a video editor. The editor is vector-based; raster mode and an eraser are described as planned work. The latest Linux version has no official .deb or .rpm installers.
