Dual Camera Stop Motion Studio is a free, open-source browser application for stop-motion and multi-camera capture.
What Dual Camera Stop Motion Studio is
Dual Camera Stop Motion Studio is a free, open-source browser application for stop-motion and multi-camera capture. It connects two USB cameras and captures synchronized frames from both. Onion skinning places the previously captured frame over the live feed to help align the next shot, and imported reference images can appear beside the cameras while you compose. The capture screen includes thumbnail previews, frame history, capture verification, and a progress overview. Pressing Space captures a frame for hands-free shooting. Images are saved to folders you choose through the browser’s File System Access API, and the maker says they remain local rather than being uploaded. The app depends on webcam permissions, the MediaDevices API, and File System Access API support. Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge are recommended; Safari and Firefox have limited direct-folder support. Mobile and tablet screens are not supported. The maker describes uses including stop-motion, product and miniature photography, toy photography, stereoscopic imaging, and other frame-by-frame workflows. The project uses the MIT License.
