Stop Motion Magazine: Boinx iStopMotion Pro Review
Monday, October 12, 2009
Over all I found iStopMotion a wonderful program to work with and highly recommend the Educational and Express versions to someone on a budget who wants to have a very powerful frame capture software. The price is well worth it. The Pro version is very powerful as well and the price is competitive to other pro level frame grabbers out there and in some cases less expensive. But I feel it would be overkill for anyone other then a studio. It’s great that Boinx is offering this software at such a low price and would be more then happy to recommend iStopMotion to a beginner or intermediate level animator.
iStopMotion : Animation for the Masses
Friday, October 02, 2009
iStopmotion is one of the best (and easiest) animation applications I think have used. The interface is simple and the quality of the output is brilliant coping with video sources from iSight to High Definition digital SLR cameras. I have been using iStopmotion for five years and to be honest I use it in the same way each time it loads. I tend to keep the workflow simple, a digital camcorder connected to my Mac via Firewire and then simply hitting the red button to capture each single frame.

IT-Enquirer: "Impressive array of features"
Monday, August 18, 2008
I found iStopMotion to have an impressive array of features to make your work as easy as possible. (...) It’s certainly worth the price, and if you’re going to use to add some spectacular or fun-looking info-animations to an online publication, it’s just cheap.

Wired: iStopMotion “by far superior”
Tuesday, March 27, 2007
There are three programs in this genre and all three run on Mac OSX. I've tried all three (iStopMotion, FrameThief, and Stop-Motion Studio) and iStopMotion is by far the superior. It has the most features, ease of use, speed and stability. It is also the best designed.
