“It’s very user-friendly, fast, and has a minimal design that keeps me focused on animating. I also like that it’s able to utilize the maximum resolution my webcam outputs…”

“I use it for brickfilming, Lego stop-motion animation, and love that it is a free capture program that allows easy preview, camera selection, and most importantly, 1080p capture.”

“On the whole, this program looks very promising, and we were mostly impressed by its intuitive, novice-friendly design. Once the missing features are implemented, this will be an excellent alternative to overly complex or expensive stop-motion animation tools.”

“I love the onion skinning… …I’m glad I found this as it’s something that still being worked on!”

Owen Garcia

“I make brickfilms (Lego stop motion movies) and Boats Animator is perfect for it. I love that it has onion skinning, grid overlay, and 1920x1080 support. Boats Animator is great and I think anyone, pro or beginner, should use this wonderful program.”
