Make stop motion animations in minutes 

with nothing more than your iPad’s camera, 

microphone and your imagination.

Record your own audio straight into your finished project, or pick a song from your Music library.

Browse through your projects and share them with the world from the Library.

Simply swipe the scene list to the left to reveal the filmstrip where you can edit individual frames.

Smoovie’s elegant interface gives easy access to powerful editing options.

Key Features

Instant playback

Smoovie for iPad instantly plays back what you've captured - without rendering. Rendering interrupts your creativity and fun and wastes your time.  We think you deserve better and we believe Smoovie is the fastest (and most fun) app for creating stop motion animations!

Green Screen

This magical feature lets you choose any image you like as a background to your movie.  Your characters can walk on the moon, trek through the jungle or explore the bottom of the ocean … anywhere your imagination takes you.  The possibilities are endless!

Scenes - tell a better story

Arrange your content in scenes.  Each scene has an independently adjustable playback speed, allowing full control over the pace and mood of your animation.

​

Mix it up! You can add new scenes, cut, copy and paste existing scenes - all with full undo support.

Filmstrip - precision editing

Swipe across the list of scenes and see all frames in your project.  You can cut, copy and paste individual frames - with full undo support.  You can drag frames from one scene to another and even copy frames from other smoovies.

Onion skinning

Onion Skinning is possibly the most important feature of a stop motion animation app. It works by making the live video from either of the iPad’s cameras semi-transparent and superimposing it onto the previous frame.

Audio recording

Record your very own audio right from within the app!  Whether it’s an awesome voiceover or fabulous sound effects, audio recording lets your imagination run wild!

Add a little music

Smoovie allows you to browse the Music library on your iPad so you can choose the perfect soundtrack for your masterpiece.

Even more editing power

Smoovie makes it easy to export your animations to be used as content for other apps. Write your own soundtrack in GarageBand or add some opening effects in iMovie.

Share the magic in HD

Smoovie lets you export your animations in HD to the Photos library on your iPad. And if you've got Apple TV, you can play your creations using AirPlay Mirroring.
