Dragonframe

Animators see live view, onion skinning, and timing exposure sheets while shooting. It controls DSLR cameras and DMX lighting and supports motion control rigs for camera moves. Captured frames can be reviewed and exported as video.

It runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux and is sold as a license. Independent animators and schools often use it.

Stop Motion Studio is a simpler, lower-cost option. Dragonframe suits animators who need precise capture and timing.
