FlipBook Makes Stop Motion Animation Easier!

Stop Motion Animation is a general term like ice cream. And like ice cream stop motion animation comes in lots of flavors.  If you make things out of clay and move them around it's called Claymation. If you cut out pictures and move them around it's call Cut-Out Animation. Another real easy one would be Toymation.  Regardless of what you want to work with, FlipBook will make it easier than you ever imagined.  Just aim your camera and start clicking as you move things around.

But FlipBook has a lot of features to help you when you're doing stop motion animation.

For simple stop motion animation you can capture your images directly into the background level of FlipBook’s exposure sheet where frames are automatically added as the scene gets longer and then play the scene back immediately with the sound track. Having the images in the exposure sheet makes it easy to see what’s going on in the scene and lets you edit the scene any way you want.

But you can also capture your animation into the foreground and key out any solid color so that you can superimpose your animation on to any type of background you want like a photo, a live action video or even 3D animation. Whether you’re substituting an alternate background or not, the most important thing about stop motion animation is to get your character’s movement right frame after frame. FlipBook gives you several ways to do this.
