Problem with new Stop Motion program! (StopMotion Station)

Question

I just downloaded a program called StopMotion Station, but when I want to run it it says this program has stoped working... Also the comp I downlaoded it on is a Vista

Answer 1

Seems like it's working fine.  It Stopped, didn't it?

Answer 2

It says right on the website in the System Requirements section "Windows Vista users: StopMotion Station doesn't work for some Windows Vista users. Please try the free demo before you buy to make sure it will work for you. "

So you're going to have to look for another program that's compatible with Vista.

To actually frame-grab and compile the movie, I'd suggest using Monkeyjam if you're on a PC. It's free.

If you're on a Mac, you could try Framethief or FramebyFrame.

You can also check out this website for other stop motion animation programs; some free, some retail. I haven't used any of them (other than Stop Motion Pro) so I couldn't tell you if the rest of their features were any good or not, but at least it gives you other options.

For any specific questions, you should check out stopmotionanimation.com

It's a message board filled with stop motion animators helping eachother out. They even have a handbook section that has basic answers and info on a variety of stop motion topics (armatures, sets, cameras, etc)

Here are some online resources about the basic principles of animation. These principles can and should be applied to any genre or medium you choose to work in, whether that be drawn, CGI, or stop motion animation.
