I do not know if the problems I experienced were also seen by anyone else, but even so, DragonFrame is just a little more money for a lot more functionality.If you have an account with our site, you can use it to find your license information. I know that the lower priced versions of SMP look enticing, but Dragon Frame will pretty much be all that you need for anything you want to do animation wise. And since this program is used by basically every animation house worth their salt, you'll be ahead of the curve if you ever choose to go into pro-animation by already knowing the program.Īll in all, GET DRAGONFRAME. Playback is always smooth mid-animation, the keypad is a god-send and it speeds up my work immensely due to not having to touch the mouse most of the time or figuring out shortcut keys, and it pretty much has all the features SMP has except for in-program masking (which I think most people who are using this program will be well beyond using, as it only offers very basic erasing tools).Īlso, arc motion looks freaking amazing.

The UI looks like crap, but that's my opinion.Īfter two years of putting up with this bull, I finally decided to just give up and make the switch to DragonFrame.

Keep in mind, I am able to play full HD videos anywhere else on my computer and suffer no lag.

#Dragonframe vs istopmotion 480p

Since the program uses the full resolution stills when playing back your film while you were in the middle of animating, I was unable to make a film in any resolution higher than 480p because the program would suffer horrible buffering problems that made me unable to tell how good my animation looked. Some part of the code would mess up almost every month causing the program to forget that it was licensed to me, requiring to contact tech support to sort it out. This started in about mid-2012, and from here on it was all downhill.įrequent crashings and blue-screens as I mentioned

But as I went along, the program became very prone to crashing (there were several features I was unable to use because the program would just crash and blue screen when I tried).

#Dragonframe vs istopmotion pro

I've used Stop Motion Pro before and have now migrated over to DragonFrame (Which I used to make my BRAWL film, btw.) I've used Stop Motion Pro for ever single film I've made before.Īt first the program functioned well for me. (I can imagine if you don't have After Effects the rig removal would greatly simplify your post production workflow rather then removing rigs via Photoshop or other still image editing programs)Īnother thing I really like about Dragonframe is the native Arduino support, which I haven't really had time to mess with, but I do have the boards and stepper moters, once I have time to wire and build a motion control rig I can plug it into Dragonframe via USB and whenever you capture a frame it will move the rig automatically to the next place, if you delete a frame it will automatically move the rig back and you can get a crazy as you want with it To get the full features of Stop Motion Pro you are paying (more or less) the same price as Dragonframe, I remember looking over both programs and some of the options I wanted were only available in Studio Plus version ($295 which is the same price as Dragonframe) and in addition most major studios working on stop motion projects use Dragonframe so I don't see the support going anywhere.Īs far as I can tell Dragonframe does not have a rig removal tool but those tools look a bit more primitive them using masks in After Effects which is already very easy.
