Summary

Eagle Animation is free, open-source software for creating stop-motion animation frame by frame. It runs in a browser or as a desktop app on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The timeline supports previewing, duplicating, and rearranging frames with drag-and-drop. Users can capture images directly from webcams and supported DSLR cameras, with a live preview. Animation tools include adjustable onion skin, grids and margins, difference mode, and masking without a green screen. Image controls include frame averaging, manual exposure and white balance, high-resolution camera live view, and lossless full-resolution capture. Finished animations can be exported as video files, or frames can be saved for use in video-editing software. The project lists more than 20 supported languages and more than 520 cameras. Its source code is published under GPLv3. The browser edition requires no sign-up or ads. On macOS and Linux, DSLR support in browsers uses WebUSB on Chromium-based browsers.
