How it works

Your first movie in four simple steps.

  1. Illustrated toy figures arranged on a small set under studio lightsIllustration

    Step 1: Set the scene.

    Arrange toys, clay figures, or objects in front of your camera.

  2. Capture screen with the shutter button at the bottom
    Real app screen

    Step 2: Capture a frame.

    Take a photo of your scene.

  3. Camera view where the previous frame appears as a faded ghost over the live view, so the toy can be lined up for the next move
    The faded picture is your last photo. Line up, nudge, tap.
    Real app screen

    Step 3: Move a little.

    Adjust your subject slightly and capture the next frame. Onion skin helps you see the previous position.

  4. Playback screen showing the animation with a timeline and a Play button
    Real app screen

    Step 4: Watch it come alive.

    Preview the animation and export your finished movie.

    Photos, sounds and movies are stored locally. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to share a finished movie.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

  • Stop-motion is a way of making movies from still photos. You take a picture, move your subject a tiny bit, take another, and repeat. Played back quickly, the photos make your toys look like they are moving on their own.
