Topic: Heron Animation - My free stop-motion capture software and web app
Hi !
Over the last week I have been working on a stop-motion capture software. It started as an experiment, but since after a day it looked quite well, I decided to continue working on it.
This is still a work in progress, but I have now a working version (although not tested a lot).
I know there are Biscuit and Boat Animator currently under development here. I don't want to appear to step on their toes.

FAQ
Will it be DSLR compatible?
I've looked into that, and unfortunately it seems currently out of reach.

Will it there be a mobile app?
Maybe. It's not impossible, I just have to get it work. I'll look into it when the desktop software is stable enough and with enough features.
Planned features
- More export options
- Installer
- Maybe masking
Also try Boats Animator!
