iStopMotion2 Home Edition – A Fantastic Software Application

ByMike Moffit

Have you ever wanted to create your own animation on the computer but felt intimidated by the applications needed to pull off a reasonably decent looking project? They’re hard to learn, right? Wrong.

Fret no more! iStopMotion2 Home Edition by Boinx Software is just what you need to create and edit an animated stop-motion type project.

The Home Edition of iStopMotion2 can use digital stills, digital video, or the built-in iSight as sources of content to work with. From there it’s a matter of using the time line to edit panes, smooth over transitions, and add backgrounds. Anyone can do it!

Obviously, the more expensive Express and Pro versions offer some “power” features, as one would expect.

The Home version is aimed at the more casual user, yet is still a creative and educational experience no matter your skill level.

For a comparison chart of features between the Home, Express, and Pro versions, link here.

iStopMotion2 is the type of intuitive software that allows the user to learn while trying it instead of the need to pour over a manual or training exercise.

  • Need to Charge Multiple iPhones or iPods?

    This day in age a vast majority of us have iPods–and now many of you have iPhones. As much as we love our gadgets, it can sometimes be a pain to charge one at a time, so which one do you pick?

    Leave it to Griffin Technology to solve that issue–one that I am surprised was not figured out sooner! The “PowerDock 2 Charging Cradle for iPod and iPhone”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/73013 will let you charge two iPhones, two iPods or an iPod and an iPhone at once! It can sit on your desk, beside, by the front door, wherever you will remember to charge it. This gadget won’t hook up to your Mac–it has no ports other than the AC on the back–but I like the fact that you don’t have to have everything plugged into your Mac at all times.

    I also like the “Griffin PowerDock 2”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/73013 because the thought of having my iPod or iPhone in the dock is more calming to me than just leaving my Apple gadget on the desk (in case it fell off–iPhone screen replacements are expensive!). A $39.99 price point seems fair to charge your devices to me! Most single iPod/iPhone chargers are about $19.99-$29.99 and this way you don’t have to worry about buying a sync cable as well. It’s also made out of brushed aluminum, which matches the MacBook Pros and iMacs very nicely (which is obviously super important!).
