iMotion

I’ve had this app for years and have used it for various things. I thing it is the best app for time lapses. The only issue is, about 100 pictures in multiple frames are blacked out. And by multiple I mean the majority. This is not an issue I’ve experienced in the past and I can only imagine it is a bug. If this issue were not there I would give it a 5 star review. I want to go to the paid version, but I’m afraid this issue will persist there as well and it would be a waste of money.

I’m just a beginner on stop motion and any form of animation but this app allows me to make work like a professional! You can also take inspiration from others with the gallery and that’s what I did. My work came out (in my opinion) even better than the one who I took inspiration from! One thing though. The option “take photo” is REALLY sensitive. I put the iPad down to do something before I take the next shot and it take a photo when I set it down, leaving one of the shots black. That’s all that annoys me!

This app is great for beginner stop motion animators. You can take lots of photos for the videos you make and there are other helpful tools to try out like a grid and there’s a feature that allows you to use your phone flashlight as well. I like to use this app for taking the pictures and then edit them more in iMovie to add music and transitions. This app is free and easy to use. You can also look at the gallery on there and see what other creators who use the app have made and take inspiration from that. You can see pay money for extra tool options they have.
