Try Stop Motion Recorder, -- donationware, I was happy to give -- and a cheapish (Logitech?) webcam... That's what I use, anyway...

I have reviewed Stopmotion Pro and it is excellent but not free.

http://www.stopmotionpro.com/index.php? ... Itemid=115

It allows you to use a digital still camera and there is an external breakout controller box available that gives you control of the camera at a distance from your desktop. The software allows you to view,cut/paste etc every frame that you take. It was a while ago when I reviewed it so I expect it would be even better now.

Cheers
D.K

There was a great Mac application, I think FrameByFrame, also free.

Where to find the articolate armatures for puppets? A stop motion software is useless if the puppet does not move properly.

You should be making your own armatures anyway. What's happened to that spirit?
