Aardman Animator

Aardman Animator is a stop-motion animation app for creating stories from captured frames. Its timeline and frame-editing tools let users arrange and revise an animation, while onion skinning provides a view of previous frames as a reference during work.

Frame-by-frame animation controls

Users can delete, duplicate, and move frames to change an animation’s sequence. The onion skinning tool shows earlier frames for comparison, supporting decisions about how successive images relate. Animations can be shot in portrait or landscape orientation, and playback speed can be adjusted.

Sound and guidance

The app can record dialogue or sound effects for an animation. Hints and tips videos explain how to use its features and tools, providing guidance alongside the timeline and editing controls. The source describes the app as intended for both beginners and more experienced animators.

Exporting and sharing

Completed animations can be exported as MP4 files. The app also supports sharing creations with friends and on social media platforms. Its description mentions unlockable trophies that users can collect as they animate, though it does not provide details about how those trophies are earned.
