Create remarkable Stop-motion animation using your favorite characters

Studio now has stop-motion animation capability, making it the best software for studying all animation techniques. Use them individually, or mix them up for more creativity. With one truly complete program, you’ll be ready to unleash your imagination.

Stop-motion animation can be made using figurines, children’s toys or any household items you want to bring to life. You could also use characters made from clay or plasticene (modeling dough).

Speed things up with Time-lapse Imagery

The 2D animation software can be programmed to take a series of pictures at regular intervals. Played back as a video, it looks like time has been sped up. An awesome effect! A sunset, a bean sprouting, or a flower blooming … keep it as is or incorporate i

Live View/Image Capture lets you see images Realtime

When capturing individual frames from a video source, a live preview is essential. Toon Boom Studio has a dedicated preview window displaying the live feed and giving you full control over the subject as well as the focus, brightness, and more.

Improved Image Playback Optimization

Toon Boom Studio 5 allows for an unlimited number of images to be imported into projects without loss of quality. Image Playback Optimization allows users to reduce the resolution of actual bitmap images in playback mode in order to improve the playback speed. It does this with no reduction in quality to the original images. Images in the final output will maintain the same resolution they were saved in.

Position and align elements using Onion Skinning

When positioning characters in a scene, onion skinning allows you to see your previous shots, so you can align all your elements smoothly from one frame to another.

Use Rotoscoping to take advantage of actual imagery

Import a live video to use as a reference when positioning your scene's characters in stop-motion. You can use the live action movie to match the characters’ movements frame by frame, allowing for more realistic animation.
