Boinx Launches iStopMotion 3
“When we were kids, we made stop motion movies in the backyard with my father’s Super-8 camera. We waited anxiously for weeks for the film to come back from processing, till we could see the results. Today, we want to build the best stop motion animation app out there to make it as easy as possible for stop motion enthusiasts like ourselves to create films they love,” comments Oliver Breidenbach, CEO, Boinx Software. “That’s why we decided to consolidate previous versions of iStopMotion - which cost up to 500 USD - into one powerful package and offer the full-featured product at a rock bottom price. It’s important to us that all stop motion filmmakers, young and old, have access to the best tools for creation out there.”
Support for the iStopMotion Remote Camera
Taking a cue from its sister app, iStopMotion for iPad, the newest version of iStopMotion for the Mac adds support for using an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch as a versatile HD camera for creating stop motion and time lapse videos. Available free of charge from the App Store, iStopMotion Remote Camera transmits a live video feed and supports 1080p remote capture with the iPhone 4S and the iPad (3rd gen), and 720p with iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th gen) and iPad 2.

I'm thinking you might want to give Motion a try. It's a kerymafe animation tool also made by Apple. Although for some reason I can't view the images on your site, I think it has what you want in terms of being able to manipulation of multi-layer animations on a timeline.Basically, you build an animation out of layers, and you can position beginning and ending points and effects for each layer. Then you can slide them back and forth in time or stretch or compress them like taffy. It's a really flexible interface and system. You can also use kerymafe animation to move them, and use pre-built effects called behaviors to change them.I found it really cool and very easy to use for what it does.Hope that helps.D
