Dragonframe is the industry-standard stop motion animation software, offering a comprehensive suite of tools for animators, filmmakers, and artists. Designed for precision and efficiency, Dragonframe simplifies the animation process with intuitive controls, real-time playback, and advanced cinematography features. Whether you're creating commercial productions, short films, or personal projects, Dragonframe provides the flexibility and control needed to produce high-quality stop motion animations.
The Animation workspace offers powerful tools such as onion-skinning, live view magnification, and frame-based editing, enabling animators to refine their sequences with precision. The customizable interface ensures a streamlined workflow, allowing for accurate movement control and professional results. Integrated guide layers and exposure sheets assist in timing and composition, making complex sequences more manageable.
In the Cinematography workspace, users have full control over image composition. Adjustments to camera settings like exposure, focus, and white balance can be made directly within the software. Advanced image review features, including frame-by-frame analysis, full-resolution playback, and color adjustments, ensure each shot meets both creative and technical standards.
The Audio workspace facilitates precise synchronization of dialogue, music, and sound effects. With multi-track audio support, waveform visualization, and dialogue track reading, animators can accurately time character movements and expressions. The X-Sheet tool aids in organizing scenes and maintaining consistent timing throughout the project.For enhanced lighting control, the DMX Lighting workspace allows users to program lighting cues and create dynamic effects within the software. Keyframe-based light programming and automation streamline the setup of scene illumination, enhancing storytelling and visual impact. The Motion Control workspace enables precise planning of camera movements, assisting animators in crafting smooth and dynamic shots for cinematic storytelling.
To further improve the animation workflow, Dragonframe offers the Bluetooth/USB Controller, a wireless keypad designed for animators. This controller provides quick access to essential functions, allowing animators to focus on their work without the need to navigate through menus. With both Bluetooth and USB connectivity options, it offers flexibility and convenience on set. The controller features highly responsive scissor-mechanism keys, a shock-resistant rubber molding, and an ergonomic angled design for comfortable use.
