*Dragonframe* is a professional tool that lets users create stop motion
movies and animation. There are quite a few programs let users *create and
edit animations* on their Mac. There are even tools specifically for making
stop motion movies, like Boinx iStopMotion and FramebyFrame. Dragonframe is
just one of these stop motion animation creation and editing tools. *The
concept of stop motion movies* Stop motion movies are a type of animation
that is based on frames and captured one by one to be joined into a video
file. If done correctly, the frames merge to create seamless movement within
the movie. It takes patience to create even just a short stop motion
animation clip. Dragonframe helps make sure everything lines up, from motion
to sound and more. *Features and required equipment* To use Dragonframe
properly, you're going to need a camera with which to take the frames you'll
be merging to create your clip or movie. Then it's just about editing and
tweaking to ensure everything lines up to your liking. Dragonframe comes with
a lot of cool features that include *tabbed workspaces* to make it easy to
jump from project to project, a *timeline editor* and even a *comprehensive
lip-sync system* for adding dialogue to your movie. In addition,
*vector-based drawing tools* allow you to resize, rotate and adjust any
objects you've drawn onscreen. The scaling is also quite smooth.
*Installation* Beginners will likely find that a substantial amount of time
will be initially taken up with learning how to navigate Dragonframe's
expansive interface. Installation can also be a little bit of a pain.
*Dragonframe requires version 7.2.0 or higher of Apple's QuickTime movie
viewing program* or else the program won't even open. Testing revealed that a
PC restart was required for Dragonframe to recognize the QuickTime update.
Once recognized though, the program is quick to open and you can begin your
stop motion movie making experience. *For a comprehensive and feature-rich
way to create stop motion movies, look no further than Dragonframe.*Download
