What I Can Animate is

I Can Animate is stop-frame animation software for making films with a webcam and physical models. The maker describes it for all ages, home users, education, beginners, and experienced animators. Animation tools include green screen, onion skinning, audio and image import, multiple clips, and movie backgrounds. Editing features cover titles, subtitles, credits, drawing and masking, autosave, undo and redo, and frame duplication or reversal. It can capture from an HD webcam, use time lapse, and export at resolutions including HD. Computer downloads are available for Windows and macOS, while mobile versions are offered through Google Play and the App Store. The computer licence starts from £29.95 as a one-time purchase. A fully functional demo has restrictions that a licence removes. The maker lists a USB HD webcam as a requirement, plus internet access for updates and macOS registration. On iOS, projects can be exported to the camera roll or shared through Facebook, Dropbox, and YouTube.
