Clayframes - stop motion

Excellent stop motion app. I tried others but most of them lacked comparable functionality. I love that Mr Lightbox keeps updating the app and that he is actively supporting his user base. The only thing I'm not that keen on is the somewhat antiquated look of the menu system (the buttons look a little Windows 98-esq) - but that's really of no significance, the app still rocks!! The alpha brush tool is so cool too! BUY THIS APP (especially if you have kids who have lego!!).

What? Really. ..i can only take live photos to be used in the stop motion? Even the most horrible stop motion aps have an import pic button so i can import pics from my phones gallery. ..not good . And i paid money for this. It appears to do nothing at all who would take the time to live action motion stuff? Much easier to get good pics then later when you are ready to animate import the pics....jeez whatever...REFUND!

UPDATE: Regarding my comments below about inconsistent auto exposure and white balance: This is moot of you use the sensor or a remote trigger. The problem I encountered seemed to be the result of tapping the screen to trigger photos, which had the effect of refocusing and setting a new exposure based on where you touch the screen. I'll chalk it up to a rookie mistake. And regarding my comments below about not being able to rearrange frames: You can. It is just awkwardly achieved via the Copy feature. For these reasons I have upgraded my rating from 3 stars to 4. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I liked a lot of the functionality but it lacks some important features: 1) No Undo?! If you accidentally delete a frame, it's gone. 2) No zoom?! 3) Inconsistent auto exposure and white balance when using flash, creates bad flickering on playback. I like the ability to change frame rates and delete or duplicate frames (but would be nice to be able to also rearrange frames). The overlay is useful and adjustable.

This app is very simple to use and hasn't given me any real problems whatsoever. I love making paper animations with this app and the exporting and editing features are well done and effective.

Is there a way to undo delete?

It's alright I use it sometimes to make stop motion's

Thisnisnthe best and only. I cant do what I do without clayframes

great app

Good for a beginner

This is a great app, and capable of far more than initially is apparent. My kids use it for Lego Animation, and also for stop motion clips of household objects up to no good, as well as creative shots of themselves doing the impossible. Clearly, this is a versatile app, whose reach is greater than the name might imply. Also, a very responsive developer!

Great app tried it and showed great promise I can do special fx on it its great other apps I bought and deleted them too glitchy this app is well put together and you can snuggle the sounds in good logo super nintendo clayfighter style all you need to do is add sound fx which let's us choose guns boats music etc lots of sounds so that we can make better films also would like to know what alfa brush is used for and how to use it effectively thanks for the nice app.

Absolutely brilliant, I introduced my cub scouts with this and they learned a lot and had a great time. Thanks

But why is their no green screen other then that it is perfect

Works like a charm just as advertised!

Does it work on the chromebook?

Yujuuu

I feel if you could zoom b4 you take pics it would vastly improve your app

Can you make it so you can put music in the background that you provide and make it so u can rotate pictures

This is the best stop motion software. Could you put green screen in it?

The alpha brush absolutely makes this app the best available stop motion maker out there. I've used quite a few, and there are some good ones, but after learning how to use this one I haven't bothered to use the others. The draw tool is great too. I was able to make things appear to float by simply erasing the prop and drawing in the shadows. The possibilities are endless. 5 stars

Doesn't let me export it, whenever I switch to AVI format it just says: Audio Only. Whenever I go onto the smallest resolution it just crashes and whenever I go back to the original version I want it to be it says: ERROR: Switch to AVI mode, however, as recently stated, AVI doesn't work either. I don't know what's wrong!

Still loving this app. You should develop a new app where you can make simple games using stop motion.

I have used this app on numerous devices and applaud it's functionality. I recently picked up a Nexus 5x which has an inverted camera by design. I mentioned this to the developer and he worked rapidly to make corrections in his code to accommodate this . Thanks for doing this. If you are considering this app or another I highly suggest this one over all other stop motion apps.

I wish you guys would let us play at the selected frame rate with high quality pictures, and if you did that I will give 5 stars. Other than that it's great.

You can't import images

This software is totally awesome and so is the guy behind it! He is continuing to add great stuff to the app! I have a background of working with professional animation systems and asked him for the "Preview Loop + Live" feature... And a couple of weeks later there it was! Fantastic! So easy to use it makes stop motion animation super simple (apart from the required little bit of patience). Anyone can learn how to do it, while just playing with it! =D Thanks buddy!

Great app for time lapse and stop motion. I love it!

I'd gladly change to 5 stars if the makers could include the camera 2api for dslr mode like on the g4

It's very good for me

Hi . How do I change the fps. I can't see the option anywhere

This app has it all. Copy, drawing, high frames per second, relatively straightforward interface and more. Highly recommended!

It's amazing it for YouTube videos I love it check out my YouTube channel laithlion80 please subscribe I'm only 9

This is a great app but it's like $3.00

Tried Claymation Lite, and it worked on my Samsung Note. Full version, kept getting ... (dot dot dot) in the frame counting icon as if it was trying to reset.

Great for stopmotions!

The app is amazing, and I loooooooooooove to use it. There is one thing that I would want you to add in the future. Could you please add a feature that if you mess up while recording, you don't have to start over. This is is really good for stop motion. Also can you please add a feature that let's you combine parts of different stop motions, or combine full stop motions. Thank you for reading this and making the app. P.S I highly recommend this app
