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

iStopMotion rocks! It makes the complex task of animation easy and fun. Even students who shy away from computers gravitate to the 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.

Just thought I'd give you a lot of thanks and tell you that I used iStopmotion to make the video for Minilogue's Hitchhikers choice which gained a LOT (2.275.761) of views and won the Best Budget Video award at the 2007 CADS in London. Thanks for making such a great program! I just bought 2.0 and it's getting better and better!

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.

I use iStopMotion in school arts residencies for clay animation and animation projects. Students of all ages quickly learn to capture, save, and transfer their work to video editing programs such as iMovie. Mistakes and reshoots are almost unheard of because of the 'onion skinning' feature. My residencies are often planned with only a week of student contact time, so I can't use a program that takes long time to learn. With iStopMotion the students are capturing their clay animation movements or animation drawings during the first session.

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!!!

My favorite thing about iStopMotion is that you've pretty much accomplished your goal of ease of use. The program is simple, easy on the eyes, and still fully functional. It's the type of program that anyone could use to just up and make a movie.

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 traffic and the traditional sunrise and sunset sequences. As someone who regularly used film animation I am thrilled to have this function available for video.

The beauty of iStopMotion is its focus on features to help you animate quickly and easily.

Money well spent and drop dead easy to use.

I bought your iStopMotion immediately upon reading an article about it and then visiting your website. It looked like fun, had the simplicity and power I've come to expect from cool Mac apps and was guaranteed to keep me up late at night doing dorky animations
