Stop Motion Studio

Stop Motion Studio is really great for a free app. One minor issue I have with the app is that sometimes when I'm playing an animation with a voice over I added, it tends to cut out a tiny bit of the audio, which sounds annoying. Other than that, it's a really great app for making animations for free!

Hi. I have been using this app for over 3 years now and it's great overall with a few bugs here and there but this one problem has came up that the green screen just overlays on EVERYTHING even though it should only appear on green objects. This is extremely annoying and I hope you fix this soon as this has made me lose interest in the pro version for awhile now.

You can't quite do everything on this app because all the backgrounds and titles and everything is on a seperate subscription. However, it does allow you to do some photos and put it all together to make a movie. It isn't the best stop motion app out there and there are other apps like this that you don't have to pay a subscription to have the backgrounds and the text. There is one more thing that I have to say which is I like the short video to get you started. =)

Simple and easy to use. I did my first stop motion animation a about 20 years ago and have a degree in this field. This program does everything you need to make a stopmotion animation. It gives you the option to change the frame rate and has onion skin layers, so its perfect for any budding animator. The negitive reviews are directed at the £4.50 you will have to spend to unlock 4k and some novelty backgounds. We can't expect these developers to create programs for free...so £4.50 is peanuts !

How refreshing it is to have a piece of phone-based software that does not collect any data. I really value this. Also, the app is really, really good, doing exactly what it claims, very well. There's even a set of attractively narrated training videos covering all the basics. Well done.

This app used to be a great stop motion app until there's something wrong.While making my stop motion,there's a bug where you can't see the stop motion video.so all of my work for NOTHING. And if you think you can upload a bugged video.You can't and instead,They give you an error that can't be fixed. So many bugs and errors that haven't been for almost a year. AWFUL.not recommend for stop motion fans

Great app. I bought the pro version but I'm not sure if it is attached to my account or not. Furthermore, it'll be even greater if there is 1 more button "previous frame" while editing each frame. Now it's just "next frame" the only option. #update There's a bug in "erase" feature. The app wouldn't allow me to reach to the bottom of each frame when i try to erase because of the black bar. Please fix it!

This is a pretty useful app for animating, but a major flaw would be difficulty with exporting the videos. Often when I try to export in video format, the video will be unwatchable (it won't play when you click on it), or it simply won't upload to my photos. Which is a shame, because other than that it would be a great app.

This is a very good app. There is one tiny problem though. Almost every time I make a stop motion film, I always play the film to see if there is any errors. Also I need to mention that there are two ways to watch your film. One of the ways is that you have to wait. Im pretty patient but if your brick/clay film is too long, well it takes like 5 mins or 10 mins fo it to "PREPARE" itself so you can watch it. I dont usually use that to watch my film but I always need cause one of the ways freezes!!

This is a really great app! It works well for what I need and how much editing you can do in the app is really helpful. The only complaint I have is that the sound effects you can choose from are pretty simply and kinda cheesy. I wish this app had some cooler sound effects you could choose from. (mainly racecar sounds and explosion sounds)

Its cool, but I would enjoy if more options were available, for instance like selecting frames that you would like to make play faster or slower instead of having the whole animation(movie, short, ext) being all the same motion (frames per sec). Also a feature that allows you to zoom in or out. I hope these will be added to the app. But other than that I enjoy using this app.

I'm making my first video and overall I like this app, but there's a few features that would make it feel more intuitive that I wish were present. Whenever I wanna do a playback and skip or rewind to a certain point, it doesn't do that. I have to pause the playback and then scroll over to the point I want to see, which is really annoying when you're 500+ frames in. I actually got so annoyed with it that I halted the video making process to write this review.

This is honestly probably the best stop motion app. If you bought the pack like I did, it adds so many features on to it. There are still some VERY annoying problems with it too. For example, when I am trying to pause a photo, I have to move the slider very slowly or else it wont register. Also, I feel like the timeing is off alot. When I pause a scene, it sometimes doesn't pause. Very annoying most of the time but great. UPDATE: App crashed and won't pause scenes. Audio is off and keeps going even after I stop it.

I have been using Stop Motion Studio for about 3 days and it is amazing what you can do with it! I am only using the free version for now but it works extremely well and I am considering buying the full. My only issue is that you have to refocus the camera a lot between each shot which can be easily forgotten when working with a lot of moving characters but other than that it's the best stop motion app I've used by far.

This app is very useful if you're interested in making stop motions for YouTube. Some people complained at the cost to add sound and other things, but compared to other stop motion apps such as dragon frame (around $200 dollars) the cost is quite reasonable. Whilst it certainly isn't as good as dragon frame, it's much easier to use and has all the features you need to make a good stop motion.

This app is great for making stop motion. I loved seeing my creations come to life. So, why do I give 4 stars? It's because of the amount of features that needs to be payed for. I could understand the green screen and rotoscoping. But sound effects and painting are almost nessesities to stop motion, but that's just my opinion. In full short, if your looking for something just to get the job done this is for you. If you want special effects for free, you may need to consider a different app.

I think this app is decent, sure the paid version is better but if you don't wanna spend £5 on it, then this is a good alternative. I've been able to make a lot of good stop motions on it. But my one problem is the audio. You have to pay for preset audio, I mean you can record audio but it's a bit more limiting for sounds, like a car.

Great, except for one thing! When choosing green screen feature, wether blue or green, other colours end up being picked or blacked out as well, so far I've noticed black, white and grey are affected! Please address that issue! Otherwise it's quite and interesing app, and most of the criticisms I've read are simply because the users haven't understood how to use the features, it's actually not problems with the app features! Simple YouTube tutorials quickly taught me the ropes!

It is very straightforward and simple to use. It has many options to edit various aspects of your video such as the ability to add audio and duplicate frames. One feature that comes extremely handy is being able to overlay a previous frame as you're shooting a new one which can minimize the amount of unintended displacement and choppiness. The app has features that require payment and they range from being a bit unnecessary to immensely useful additions. Overall, I heavily recommend this app.

When you set the lighting focus and exposure lock it still changes making a flicker effect. Plus you have to pay for the most basic parts of a stop motion, like audio and filters. this app is highly dissapointing. The app also makes you pay for text, green screen, drawing, and higher resolution. And if you do pay, you can't import frame by frame from the free version. You also can't import photos without paying. The app asks for too much money. The app works well for amateurs and kids though.

This could really need an update. Pro version is great. But it really needs something to make it amazing. Like maybe visual effects. They would work wonders for most users. An update that isnt a bug fix and is something much needed. Is an upgrade for the utilities in the software. Sometimes it bugs out and doesnt let you save a file. I've never had to re shoot. It was all still there but you need to just give it another go. It may take some time to load up the app if you have lots of projects.

Cool App for making Stop Motion videos! The collection of backgrounds, foregrounds/frames, sound clips are good. Overall, very easy to use. Choosing 4 start for a reason - The tutorial describes that, image can be imported inside frame/image editor. But I am not seeing it even after upgrading :( Please add this feature (adding more images along with texts, shapes etc. in a frame). I'm ready to pay $10 more for this 🙏.

This app is amazing for people that dream to be a movie director and it's great! There's only one thing that is wrong with the app. When I finished making my movie I tried spamming the ▶ button and then it was glitched, now it's just loading endlessly and when I try to go back it only made it worst. If you respond to this it will be very greatful if you fix it.

I love this app!!! I use it to create stop motions and it is very useful and easy to use. The only thing that annoys me is that so many cool features are only for paying users, but I get that they need that to make money. Here is a tip for anybody who wants to make cool stop motions but not pay for premium: After you make and save the stop motion, import it into a video editing app (I use and recommend YouCut). That way you can have it edited for free. Overall great app!

This app became terrible since the last update. The fact that the audio has been set premium disappoints me. It's giving me lots of trouble to export a movie. The photo quality is horrible even if it's set on HD. Also why is the Remote Camera option premium, BASICALLY YOU HAVE TO PAY TO TAKE A PHOTO FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE? Too bad. It was the most useful app for Stop Motion Animation.
