You've seen stop motion animation before, and you've always wanted to try your hand at this innovative aspect of moviemaking. But without access to a fancy Hollywood production studio and animation tools that run into the gajillions of dollars, how do you get into the game? With a copy of iStopMotion Express, naturally!
iStopMotion Express gives you everything that you need to create stop motion animations that look and sound as if they came straight out of Hollywood! With iStopMotion Express, you'll be able to import your own soundtracks, viewing the audio waveform to create perfect synchronization points with your animation. And speaking of sound, how'd you like to get perfectly matched mouth movements to your dialog? With iStopMotion Express, you can record yourself speaking the lines and use that video as your on-screen animation guide! Amazing.
You know that bluescreen/greenscreen chroma key technique that enables the magic of special effects? iStopMotion Express has it! Not only that, you've also got full access to Flipbook printing, Tilt Shift effects, and direct export to iMovie! There is just no limit to what you can achieve using this program!

- “I think this program freaking rocks. I've used it to make a few movies already, and I think it's fantastic. I bought the program through MacHeist, and quickly upgraded to the Express version. This is a fantastic program, and I just wanted to offer my congratulations and thanks. Keep up the good work. If I could put a gold sticker on this the way we used to in Elementary School I would.”- Simon Stawski
- “I always wanted to do some "Stop Motion" animation ever since seeing the ape in "King Kong" as well as "Jason and the Argonauts" and a few others that used this type of animation. I did some searches on the internet and found this wonderful company located in Germany called "Boinx" One of their products is called "iStopMotion." I can't tell how wonderful this software is! I highly recommend it if you have an interest in attempting "Stop Motion" THIS is the product you MUST have!!!”- Clyde E Bowman III
- “Overall, iStopMotion 2 offers users an amazing new venue for creativity. It's a fun way for educators to bring new methods of learning into their classrooms and it offers families way to become closer and create lasting memories. I can't wait to continue using the software over the years to come. Simply put, I love it. MyMac.com review rating: 9 out of 10.”- Mike Breed, MyMac
- “iStopMotion rocks! It makes the complex task of animation easy and fun. Even students who shy away from computers gravitate to the program.”- James Billings, Apple Distinguished Educator
- “We bought 3 licenses for iStopmotion earlier in the year for our school projects at the Digital Media Centre and I just wanted to tell you what a success it's been. Since then, we've had five 3 day sessions with local schools, combining a day of stop motion with half a day of music making in Apple's Soundtrack application, and the schools just go wild for the results we've been getting. The main thing we find is that the students learn and understand the software so quickly, they can focus on their creativity and creating their animations, rather than the computer. I've put a couple of the movies we've made up on our web site.”- Martin Franklin, Digital Media Centre
- “We have been using iStopMotion for time lapse capture for inclusion in our training videos and are extremely happy with the ease of use and visual quality of the resulting product. We have used it front mounted on vehicles to give us exciting travelling sequences, as well as for movement studies of traf?c and the traditional sunrise and sunset sequences. As someone who regularly used ?lm animation I am thrilled to have this function available for video.”- Ivan Johnston
