Easily create stop-motion animations

You've probably seen stop motion movies, a kind of animation based on frames captured one by one and then joined in a video file. It takes time and patience to create animations like that, but MonkeyJam makes things easier.

Top Recommended Alternative

MonkeyJam helps you record your own animation movies following the stop motion technique. Use your digital video camera or your webcam and record as many frames as you need to create your movie.MonkeyJam will then organize them in layers, thus creating a very well-categorized draft of your movie. You can preview the result at any moment and check if everything's going all right.

Working with MonkeyJam is a lot of fun. It's very easy to start recording your own movie and getting nice results even with zero training. The only problem we encountered is the fact the animation is displayed as a continuous loop that we didn't know how to stop, both in preview and also once it was rendered as an AVI video file.

Stop motion is made easy with MonkeyJam.

    It used to work nicely as an excellent animation-linetest program in the first 2-3 years for about 6 years ago, but after that and to this day, it doesn't accept my Logitech-camera anymore no matter what I do, and it's been frustrating me to no end...And I don't feel like spending another $60+ for a new camera at the risk of it not being accepted either..So I wish for this program to be updated for it to be more acceptant to all cameras please, mate.

    Meami. Pretty cool program! It's actually pretty close to what I've been looking for. It's free and pretty simple once you get the hang of it. Perfect if you're like me and just looking for something simple to animate with and not totally complicated like adobe flash. It may not be perfect with huge high-quality TV-like animations, but it does its job.Before, I had to use a combination GIMP and Windows Movie Maker, which came with a lot of time-consuming copying and pasting. There were no layers to separate backgrounds and objects in motion with those two. Monkeyjam does have layers to work with, and you're not limited to one set frame rate. Thanks to this, pencil animating is much easier in my opinion (if you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars and megabytes on "professional" programs at least ^^; ). It has its flaws, but then again, everything does. Just work around it. Pros: Fast installGood qualityNot much right-clicking neededOrganizedFree Cons: Not all file types compatibleImporting slightly complicatedCould use an update or two

    Hmm... okay.. No. It is alright but needs more.. whats the word.... updates! Like maybe some demo's, or if you dont have a camera and/or webcam you can use pe-made clips. Pros: Quick installation.Movie is fast, clear and sharp.Good quality. Cons: Quite boring after a while.Hard to use.Stressful.
