<b>Tilt Shift Filter</b>
Now combine time lapse recording or stop motion animation and tilt shift in one easy workflow. (Not available with Intel GMA graphics)
<b>Color Correction</b>
Easily change tint, brightness and contrast of images to achieve a special atmosphere. (Not in iStopMotion Home)
<b>Camera Support</b>
Added support for more recent Canon DSLR models and HDV cameras (when Logic Studio or Final Cut Studio is installed).
<b>New editing option</b>
In addition to exporting to Final Cut Pro, you can now easily send your clips to iMovie '08 (or newer) for quick editing.
<b>A Boost in Productivity</b>
How does High Tech benefit an old and venerable technique such as stop motion animation?
- Immediate Feedback. With Onion Skinning you see what the animation is going to look like before you capture the frame.
- Instant Playback. Because the frames do not have to be processed, watch your animation right away to see if it worked out the way you wanted.
- Get a Cue. Instead of creating a detailed X-sheet, load a real video, overlay it to the video input and use that as a guideline.
- WYSIWYG. If you use a greenscreen, the chroma keying in iStopMotion shows you what your frame will look like when recorded.
- Remote Control. Use the Apple Remote to capture frames from a distance. This saves you travelling between your animation table and the computer keyboard.
- Integration. Send your movies directly from iStopMotion Pro to Final Cut Pro.
<b>High Definition</b>
Connect an HD camcorder to iStopMotion 2 Pro via HDMI with the help of the BlackMagic Intensity card. The live preview helps you to animate. Capture pristine frames in 1080p.
<b>Fits into Your Workflow</b>
iStopMotion uses lossless compression to save individual frames into a QuickTime movie file. Use these files with the tools you already know, for example Final Cut Pro, for further editing in pristine quality.
Easily retouch single frames in an external image editing app such as Photoshop. When you save the image, iStopMotion automatically puts it back where it belongs.
Build your own control station by freely mapping the keyboard keys to any functionality you want.
<b>Working with Multiple Cameras</b>
Connect a DV cam for controlling your animation and a digital still camera for high image quality. Or connect two cameras to take the same shot from two perspectives.
