Zu3D

Bring your imagination to life with Zu3D. Create stop-motion films, hand-drawn animations and mixed-media movies, from your first moving character to a scene filled with effects. Animate models, toys and drawings, combine them with live-action footage, and build your story with pictures, sound and music. Zu3D brings capture, editing and creative effects together for filmmakers at home and in the classroom. CAPTURE AND ANIMATE • Capture frames and play back your animation as you work. • Use onion skinning to see the previous frame and plan your next movement. • Capture frames automatically at set intervals, or create time-lapse films. • Import your own images and live-action video. • Trace over imported footage with rotoscoping to turn movement into animation. BUILD YOUR MOVIE • Arrange and combine clips with unlimited video tracks. • Layer music, dialogue and sound effects with unlimited audio tracks. • Copy, move and delete frames and clips to shape your story. • Transform clips to change their position, size and rotation, and combine them into new arrangements. • Add titles, text and transitions. DRAW, PAINT AND REMOVE RIGS • Draw directly onto frames to add details, effects and finishing touches. • Create hand-drawn animations, frame by frame. • Use rig removal to erase supports and help your characters appear to fly, jump or float. • Animate drawing tools with keyframes. CREATE GREEN SCREEN EFFECTS • Use chroma key to replace a coloured background and place your characters in a different scene. • Remove multiple colours with multiple chroma keys. • Cut out unwanted areas and preserve areas you want to keep. • Add virtual shadows to help chroma-keyed characters fit into their new surroundings. • Keyframe chroma key settings and clip transforms to change effects and movement over time. ADD SCENERY AND SOUND • Explore a media library of backgrounds, foregrounds and props. • Build a soundtrack with the sound-effects library. • Import your own sound effects and audio. • Record voices and sounds for your film. EXPORT AND SHARE • Export your finished animation as an MP4 or WebM video file. • Submit films to the moderated Stop Motion Gallery. START CREATING Zu3D is free to download.
