Boinx Software has released its latest updates to iStopMotion for iPad and OS X, featuring GIF creation of up to 200 frames. With
iStopMotion for iPad 2.2, users can export the first 200 frames of their animation as a GIF file and send it by email or iMessage, or upload it to DropBox. The Mac version,
iStopMotion for Mac, allows users to save their 200-frame GIF animation directly to a hard drive. The software is intended for animators who wish to share portions of their work quickly. Sale pricing for both iPad and Mac OS versions of iStopMotion is available until October 20 at $5 for iPad at the App Store, and $40 at Boinx and the Mac App Store for its Mac OS version.
