iStopMotion 2.5 - iStopMotion, meet Tilt Shift

Boinx Software, a multi-award winning developer of cool software for the Mac platform, today announced the availability of iStopMotion 2.5, the company's popular stop motion animation application. Headlining the new update is the innovative combination of a brand new Tilt Shift Filter with stop motion animation and time-lapse recording. A popular effect among photographers aiming to capture a "miniature-scale model" effect, Tilt Shift is perfect for stop motion animation's small movements and individually photographed frames. This unique pairing of Tilt Shift with stop motion and time-lapse recording software allows animators to expand creative expression, manipulating the depth of field of their images so that life-sized locations or subjects appear miniature in size. "By adding the new tilt shift effect to stop motion and time-lapse movies, an animators creative expression can take a giant leap forward," comments Oliver Breidenbach, CEO, Boinx Software.

iStopMotion 2.5 Product Updates

Additional product updates include full support for new Canon DSLR camera models and HDV camera support in iStopMotion Pro when Logic Studio® or Final Cut Studio® is installed. Version 2.5 boasts a new 'Send to iMovie' functionality in the file menu, for quick and easy export of your stop motion animations to iMovie 8 or later. Enhanced color correction functionalities in iStopMotion 2.5 Express and Pro allow users to adjust the atmospheric settings of a shot, right at the time of capture. Breidenbach further comments, "This release emphasizes our commitment to empowering the creative user, from Kindergarten to movie studio. The combination of new Tilt Shift functionalities with our flexible stop motion animation and time-lapse recording software is like a triple treat for animators of all levels -- the results are outc of this world!"

@caturn88 Can you make this an actual question?

[sharksdelight]

Haven't downloaded the software as yet. Are there tutorials in the download, nothing on the Boinx site.

Thanks,

Steve

@sharksdelight Inside the iStopMotion, click on help and open the help. It is built into the app. Also works with the free demo.

[BoinxSoftwareLtd]

@sharksdelight We actually do, but still prefer full sentences that make sense to everyone ;)

The music is made by ourselves.

It would be nice if Boinx actually had some video tutorials as to how best to use their software. Demo reels are nice but don't teach anything.

@sharksdelight Did you take a look at the built in help?

[lostinspain]

Nice software but I had a couple of problems:

1) I can't apply the tilt-shift... or at least i can't see any difference. (using trial version)

2) I tried to export the150 uploaded pictures, in order to make a movie, but it frozes.

(I' m running Imac 4GB drams)

Any hint?

Regards and congrats for the nice software.
