Capture Studio is the stop-motion tool from AMontage by Ant3Dstudio — our animation suite, broken out into one app that does a single job properly. Stand your iPhone or iPad on a tripod. Move your subject a little. Take a frame. Repeat. That is an animation, and this app is built around making those few seconds feel effortless. WHAT YOU GET WITHOUT PAYING • Unlimited projects and unlimited frames. No counters, no frame packs. • Onion skin — the previous frames glow under the live camera, so nothing ever jumps. • Auto shutter that waits for the scene to go still and then fires by itself. • Shoot with the volume buttons or a Bluetooth remote, so you never nudge the tripod. • Clip templates: title cards, a 3-2-1 countdown, "The End", fades and flashes. • Import a video and turn it straight into frames. • Grid overlay with centre and thirds guides. • Frame editor: scale, position, brightness, contrast, saturation. • Chroma key with an adjustable threshold and soft edge. • Draw right on a frame — pen, marker, pencil, eraser — plus stickers. • Hold any frame longer without duplicating it. • Clips: group your frames, name and colour them, repeat, reorder, edit in bulk. • Light levelling to even out flicker between shots. • Smooth motion: add in-between frames for a softer transition. • Loops: a single pass, a boomerang, or a seamless cycle with crossfade. • 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9, at whatever frame rate you set. • Export to video and GIF. Save to Photos or to Files. Templates and video import are free here. So is everything above. We would rather you finish your animation than hit a wall halfway through it. CAPTURE STUDIO PRO One payment, once, forever. No subscription. • Exports without the watermark • Full 1080p instead of 720p • ProRes 422 for editing elsewhere • GIF up to 1080 px instead of 480 px That is the whole difference. Pro raises the quality of the file you export — it never takes a tool away from you. BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU SHOOT On iPad the tools sit in a side rail, so the viewfinder keeps the whole screen. On iPhone everything falls to the bottom, within thumb reach. Projects are ordinary documents: open them in Files, copy them to a folder, back them up however you like. PRIVACY No account. No ads. No analytics and no tracking. Nothing you shoot leaves your device. Have questions?

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Capture Studio at 5.0 against Comic Mania's 4.0. Comic Mania's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and update cadence (every 15 months vs every 96 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
