What's New in Stop Motion Movie Maker
1.1
October 21, 2026
Stop Motion Movie Maker comes to the Mac, and your movies come with you. - iCloud sync: your movies show up on every iPhone, iPad and Mac signed in to the same Apple Account. Snap on the phone, decorate on the iPad, finish on the Mac. Turn it off in Settings if you like. - A Mac app: a big studio window with menus and keyboard shortcuts. Use a webcam or your iPhone as the camera, drag pictures in from Finder, and give the stage its own window for a second screen or a projector. Stop Motion Pro works there too, with no second purchase. - iPhone Duo: half-fold it and it stands up as its own tripod, with the picture on the upright half and the buttons on the half lying flat. The outer screen shows the puppeteers what the camera sees, with a SNAP button of its own. - Drag things along the timeline: tap a sticker, word, sound or clip, then drag it to just the right moment. Stickers and sounds ride along with their clip.
