iMotion

What iMotion is

iMotion is an iOS app for creating time-lapse and stop-motion videos. It supports time-lapse and manual capture, microphone-triggered recording, and importing images from the library. During capture, users can adjust focus, exposure, and white balance; live frame capture and onion skinning are also available. A second device can control recording, allowing hands-free capture while the camera stays in place. After recording, the built-in editor can trim and refine footage, with timeline editing available. Finished work can be exported in 4K UHD, 1080p, or 720p HD and shared as videos, photos, or animated GIFs. The app has a free plan with limited features. Yearly Premium costs $39.99 a year after a 7-day free trial, and includes unlimited access to all features. The subscription auto-renews unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. iMotion supports iPhone with iOS 13.0 or later and iPad with iPadOS 13.0 or later. The maker also offers iMotion Enterprise for teams, labs, classrooms, institutions, studios, and educational environments; sales are handled by contact. The privacy policy says photos and user data remain on the device and are not sent to external servers or third parties.
