qStopMotion - a program for creating stop-motion animations

## SYNOPSIS

**qStopMotion** *file*\

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page briefly introduces the program and documents the commands available when running in non GUI mode.

**qStopMotion** is a program for creating stop-motions animations from couple of images. You can use your favourite video device for grabbing the images as long you have a program capable of doing it. You just sets qStopMotion to use the program. It's also possible to do the same with  video export. Stopmotion has a set of tools which helps you creating the  movements smooth and precise.
