KStopmotion / Linux-Stopmotion

Sponsor: Carl Schwan

Linux Stopmotion is a Free Open Source application to create stop-motion animations. It helps you capture and edit the frames of your animation and export them as a single file.

Direct capture from webcams, MiniDV cameras, and DSLR cameras. It offers onion-skinning, import images from disk, and time lapse photography. LSM supports multiple scenes, frame editing, basic sound track, animation playback at different frame rates, and GIMP integration for image. Movies can be exported to a file and to Cinelerra frame lists.

Technically, it is a C++ / Qt application with optional dependencies to camera capture libraries.

Discussions and changes during the incubation

  • We evaluate to switch to CMake as the build system.
  • We renamed the application to KStopmotion, as Linux is trademarked.

Team

List the people committed to the project and actively working on it:

  • Tim Band
  • Christoph Grüninger

Manifesto Compliance Plan

List the actions planned to get in compliance with the manifesto. Don't hesitate to even list parts of the manifesto which don't require action and highlight why. This part will really be used as a discussion starting point with the project sponsor.

Update May 2022

I wrote a replacement of the build system [1], but did not feel confident for
