Features & Capabilities

Stop Animator makes creating stop-motion and time-lapse videos effortless. The full-screen capture window provides a close-up view of each frame, and it supports both portrait and landscape orientations. Your work is saved in reusable projects that you can reopen later, while an adjustable frame rate lets you control the look of your video.

With onion skinning and grid tools to plan each shot, you can compose frames precisely. An optional auto-capture feature at user-defined intervals is perfect for time-lapse sequences, giving you complete control over the production process.

User Reviews

Users praise Stop Animator for its simple, beginner-friendly UI and the ability to create fun stop-motion clips, with generally clear results when it works. However, multiple reviews repeatedly report save/export failures and missing videos, auto-save triggering unexpected resets, and stability issues like crashes. Monetization concerns (paywalls and ads) and missing features (sound, gallery, direct device export) also surface frequently, dampening overall experience.
Pros
  • Simple, beginner-friendly three-button UI.
  • Fun and accessible for beginners and family projects.
  • Clear-looking results when exports succeed.
  • Easy project organization (name projects and manage clips).
  • Lightweight and responsive on iPhone/iPad.
Cons
  • Frequent save/export failures and missing videos (videos not saved, disappearing from photos, or black/blank exports).
  • Auto-save can reset progress and force restarts.
  • Stability issues like crashes, blank/black screens, and glitches.
  • Monetization and ads block features (paywalls for frame-rate changes, onion skins) and frequent ads.
  • Missing essential features (no built-in sound/music, limited export options, no easy direct export to device).

I like how you can name your projects and it doesn’t go straight to the bottom when you create one

Yoooo so I love this usually it’s a ton of fun but recently I made a little bit bigger project and it’s not exporting it and it’s ~200 frames.

I enjoy using stop motion, I can use my phone and imagination too make cool and funny animations. Because of this I give a five star rating.
