I've used SMP more, but Dragonframe for the past year, since my old PC died and was replaced by an iMac for frame grabbing in the studio. *** Hang on, just checked their site, it does work with Arduino. Don't know, that motion control stuff is outside my budget. So I wouldn't be sure SMP can't work with Arduino.

He used a Mark Roberts slider first, then a differnt one made in Germany while the first one was being fixed, and SMP controlled both. I worked on a film that was using Stop Motion Pro (Not Eclipse, an earlier version) to control a 3d stereo slider, for taking left and right views, and that worked fine. Thoughts, feedback, words of caution and recommendations very welcome. I just don't think I need BOTH Stop Motion Pro and Dragonframe, and they are about the same price.Īlso am I right in understanding that Dragonframe will talk to Arduino for motion control, and can shoot 3d, while Stop Motion Pro can't do either? (or only the former?) But I am not averse to Dragonframe with an After Effects subscription for post work when I need it for comping etc. And if I can comp and clean up in stop motion pro, that would be great. In particular, the rig removal in stop motion pro sounds great, but also sounds a bit "beginnery" in the sense that I might be right in understanding that comping and painting out rigs will lower the image quality? Or is it ok and works fine? Or am I overthinking it? I'd like to set it up so that the stuff I shoot is fit for film festival entry and that sort of thing, not just uploading to Youtube. I'm interested (as part of my current research process) in what people think of one versus the other.

Probably sounds like a silly question, in the sense that a frame grabber's a frame grabber, but I am interested in what you people think based upon your experience with these software options.
