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.
