Canon DSLR Support Dragonframe supports most of the latest Canon EOS DSLRs. Canon EOS cameras with live view are probably the best choice for shooting stop motion animation. They have a large, high-quality live view image that can simulate exposure settings. And they don't seem to suffer from overheating the way some other cameras do. To avoid potential flicker, consider using manual Nikon lenses with a Nikon lens adapter.

web-cam support Web-cams are an inexpensive option for getting started with stop-motion animation. They can also be useful as a video assist for still cameras that do not have live view. If a web-cam works with your computer, it should work with Dragonframe. The list on the left is not intended to be thorough. There are hundreds of web-cams that should work with the software. Make sure to test your camera with Dragonframe prior to purchasing a full license. If possible, find a web-cam with manual focus (such as the Agent V5) and exposure settings. |

olympus DSLR Support NOTE: SUPPORT WILL BE REMOVED IN FUTURE VERSIONS Dragonframe is the only stop motion software to directly integrate with Olympus DSLRs. Olympus DSLR integration is for Windows only. To use Olympus DSLRs with Mac OS X, you can use Dragonframe's folder watching capabilities with the Olympus Studio 2 remote capture application. You could also ask Olympus to provide an SDK for Mac OS X. The supported Olympus cameras have live view via analog video output. You can use this within Dragonframe if you get an A/D converter. Many of the Olympus cameras do not let you manually focus them when they are connected to a computer. We suggest that you ask Olympus to update firmware for your camera to support manual focus. |

canon powershot Support NOTE: SUPPORT WILL BE REMOVED IN FUTURE VERSIONS Dragonframe supports many Canon PowerShot Gx, Sx IS, and some other models. Known working models are listed on the left. Considerations The main disadvantage of Canon PowerShots is the lack of focus control. Essentially, you have to instruct the camera to auto-focus and then lock the focus for the duration of your scene. Mac OS X Compatibility The Canon PowerShots work on all supported versions of Mac OS X (10.4-10.6). Windows Compatibility The Canon PowerShots work on Windows XP. For Windows Vista and Windows 7, you may get them to work by following these instructions. Sadly, it appears that Canon is no longer providing tethered shooting capabilities with any PowerShot cameras. They have informed the developer community that they will not be updating the SDKs, which our software uses to talk to the cameras. See Also |
