Stop Motion MT
Read full descriptionHide full description
Full control stop motion: manual camera, external Bluetooth/USB keyboard, onion skin, reference video, and frame-by-frame synced audio. Stop Motion MT (from "Mágicas e Truques," or Magic Tricks) is an app dedicated to animating objects by capturing sequential photos, which can be previewed and edited within the app and exported as an MP4 video or as a ZIP-compressed sequence of JPG images. The interface is simple and intuitive, bringing together everything you need for full-control animation. The goal is to democratize access to stop motion, both for beginners and for those who want to create professional-level animations. The app's main differentiator is external keyboard control. Stop Motion MT works with Bluetooth and USB keyboards, so every function can be operated without touching the camera: not only capturing frames, but also stepping forward and back frame by frame, playing clips or the entire scene, onion skin, flip, FPS, and much more. The camera offers full control, from automatic to 100% manual mode, and even photographic settings — focus, zoom, white balance, shutter speed, and ISO — can be controlled remotely and changed frame by frame, and even animated. All settings are saved per scene, ensuring far finer control and a smoother animation workflow. On the timeline, you can delete, duplicate, and repeat frames or entire sections (with undo), and easily change playback speed in frames per second — all without touching the original photos. The app also lets you import a reference video to animate over, with adjustable opacity, scale, and position, and add an audio track synced frame by frame, with a waveform on the timeline and frame-by-frame listening for checking sync. Complete your workflow with adjustable onion skin, composition grids, time-lapse mode, and a final export with reference and audio already included in the video — all within the app, with no internet required. In the free version, scenes are created in 720p with every feature unlocked; the Pro version adds Full HD and 4K resolutions for professional delivery. Stop Motion MT is an independent app, created by an animator with over 28 years of stop motion experience. By supporting the Pro version, you directly support the app's development and help bring new features and continuous improvements.

Turn a simple move-and-hold recording into stop motion automatically. You do not need to press the shutter for every frame. Keep your phone steady, reposition your clay, blocks, drawing, paper art or product, and pause briefly after each change. The app finds clear, steady moments in the continuous video and combines them into a frame-by-frame animation. Key features: • Record in the app with live hold-steady guidance • Import an existing video from Photos • Automatically find the steady frame after every change • Use on-device hand-pose detection to avoid obstructed frames when possible • Adjust frame duration, stability sensitivity and output resolution • Preserve portrait, landscape and square orientation • Loop the finished animation, save it to Photos or share it • Automatically follows the device or iOS per-app language in English or Simplified Chinese Privacy first: Video analysis, hand detection and animation rendering happen entirely on your device. No account is required. Videos are not uploaded, and the app contains no advertising or tracking SDKs. Great for clay animation, building blocks, paper art, drawing progress, product showcases, classroom demonstrations and any frame-by-frame creation.
