Stop Motion - Animation Software Help
Stop Motion Animation Guide
These help pages were written for iKITMovie Version 3.2 stop motion animation software. Some of the screen shots may not reflect other earlier versions of iKITMovie. iKITMovie was created to be the most "fun animation software" for all ages.
iKITMovie was designed to be both easy to use for all ages but also powerful enough to be capable of creating high quality stop motion animated brickfilm or claymation movies. iKITMovie has a very unique custom built sound engine with over 2,200 free sound effects included and background music tracks included to make high quality movies. You can also add your own sounds , voice and music to compliment the movie. It also has an easy to use feature called chromakey (sometime know as greenscreen or bluescreen) to allow you to change the backgrounds or backdrops in your animation scenes.
iKITMovie runs on any Microsoft Windows PC with 2gb of RAM and a screen resolution capable of at least 1024 x 768. It does not run on Macintosh computers. So let's get started.
