  • Does not play the movie
Platform For Display: PC Download
The review button shows a black page and does not allow you to see the video. The only way to see the video is to save it as a movie and watch it using different software. very inconvenient.

  • Not as "student friendly" as it should be
Platform For Display: PC Disc
In short, though Stopmotion Studio 4.0 has a lot of nice features, it is far from intuitive. Honestech markets this as being great for students and education, but I found it challenging to just dive right in and make an animation. The cover of the box makes it look like this software is aimed at kids, but I think some kids will end up frustrated by the process if they don't get a little help. My 14-year-old son and I sat down to make a stop-motion video: roughly 30 pictures of a Lego construction, taken on a digital camera. (A little background here: my son has no problem making stop-motion animations using his iPod Touch and an app.) Once finished, we transferred the pictures to my PC, and started up Stopmotion Studio. The goal? Import those 30 pictures, make an animation from them, and export it as a video. This seemed like a simple idea, and we eventually figured it out, but we had to refer to the manual several times in the process. Here are the questions we had: * What are you supposed to click to import the photos? * How do we speed up or slow down the animation? * What is the difference between exporting as an MPEG or MPEG 2 video? * Why is the resolution bad? Is it something we should take care of when we start the project or something we take care of when we export the movie? Now, I'm not against reading manuals. However, if you are getting this software for a child, let me suggest that you might want to practice the process once or twice with that child. With so many well made and intuitive mobile apps for creating animations, it is hard to recommend this software if you are looking for something simple. Yes, Stopmotion Studio has a lot of great features, and the price is decent. But it is wrong to suggest that this is aimed at children. ... show more

  • My camera works fine to shoot remotely with the Canon EOS program so ...
Platform For Display: PC Download
Software is okay and works as advertised. However, the software is not compatible with my dslr. The description said "DSLR Camera Support - Create stunning 1080p HD video using Canon/Nikon DSLR cameras with Live View support." I found this to be deceiving because apparently it only actually works with certain models. I have a Canon Rebel and I cannot get it to work with live view in this program. My camera works fine to shoot remotely with the Canon EOS program so I don't believe there's any issue on that end. I called the technical support and they basically told me there was nothing they could do to help me. Very disappointing as I purchased specifically to use with my dslr, I don't want to make videos with a webcam. ... show more

  • Inspire your child... great, easy way to get teens into animation.
Platform For Display: PC Disc
My 12 year old son has already made Lego stop animations with it. He also made an animation for his upcoming Oddessy of the Mind competition. There are no controls over sound and it's really easy to lay in sound tracks or load sound files, but I'd suggest recording outside the program for full control in something like Audacity... then loading in your sound files. I'm planning on using it with one of my pro Nikons to do some intervelometer photography... watching a flower open, ice shapes melt... time lapse is easy with this software. We paired it with a manual focusing, Pro HD Webcam 1080P Widescreen camera from Stopmotion Explosion. ... show more

  • Not perfect, but worth every dollar.
Platform For Display: PC Disc
Company doesn't seem to exist any more, so we are left with a persistent nag to register the product which we are then kept from doing because the registration process can't be completed through the internet, and choosing the PDF option doesn't turn off the Nag. Instructions are minimal, too. That said, it is probably the best product you can get for the money, with all sorts of useful features and easy enough for a nine-year-old to use (with some adult guidance in lieu of the written instructions). ... show more
