KDE Stopmotion is a Free Open Source application to create stop-motion animations. It helps you capture and edit the frames of your animation and export them as a single file. It was previously called Linux-Stopmotion.
Direct capture from webcams, MiniDV cameras, and DSLR cameras. It offers onion-skinning, import images from disk, and time lapse photography. KDE Stopmotion supports multiple scenes, frame editing, basic sound track, animation playback at different frame rates, and GIMP integration for image. Movies can be exported to a file and to Cinelerra frame lists.
Technically, it is a C++ / Qt application with optional dependencies to camera capture libraries.
=== Discussions and changes during the incubation ===
- With release 0.8.6 we introduced CMake as build system, qmake is going to removed for master.
- We use KDE invent for code hosting, continuous testing, issue tracking.
- We decided to renamed the application to KStopmotion, as Linux is [https://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/trademark-usage/ trademarked].
- We should integrate better to KDE's tech stack: Internationalization, using KDE libraries, update and reformat documentation.
- We should gain both users and contributors from the KDE community. If we fail to do so, KStopmotion has no future as it relies on too few people.
