Tell us about your project!
We are always looking to promote what people are doing with our software, why not tell us about your current project, we can feature it in our next newsletter!
Without doubt this is the most common question received by tech support. We have given a list of options here, most with video tutorials.
The answer is determined by how sophisticated you want your film and where it is to be show. Also the available budget!
Webcams For entry level we recommend a webcam. Most web cams should work with Eclipse, the free trial lets you test them out easily.
We especially like the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema camera. Both are really sharp.
The Logitech is manual focus and the Microsoft, remote focus from within Eclipse so you dont touch the camera and it also has a sturdy clip that can be attached to your set.
Canon or Nikon Digital SLR These give the best image quality and total control over focus and other settings. You will need the Eclipse edition (not Eclipse SD).Most studios select Canon because of the enhanced live view performance.
An overview of cameras compatible with Stop Motion Pro is here.
