Make a stop motion film with a toy and a table. Move the toy, take a picture, and use the ghost of the last frame to line up the next one. Choose a wide or tall film, set a grid or countdown, and capture silently with the screen or volume button. Focus, exposure and white balance lock so the pictures match. Reorder frames, hold a picture longer, record your voice and share a real video without a watermark. Try 3 new films and 3 full quality exports total, shared across all profiles, with no refill. Saved films stay available to capture, edit and play. One purchase adds unlimited new films and exports, title and end cards, eight sound effects, 24 fps export and green screen backdrops. Family Sharing is supported; no subscription. Existing free users receive both trial allowances once after updating. Purchases, profiles, films, frames and voice clips are preserved. Everything is made on your iPhone or iPad. Camera and voice recordings stay on the device; a video leaves only when you choose to share it. No account, ads, tracking or server. English and Spanish.
