*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 PC. There are even tools specifically for making
stop motion movies, like MonkeyJam. Dragonframe is 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 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 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
dialog 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 find that a substantial
amount of time will be 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* 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 *Dragonframe 3.0.2* in
