iMotion HD, an application to create Time Lapses and Stop Motions

La time lapse and stop motion technique They are widely used in the world of photography to create unique compositions from individual snapshots.

El stop motion tries to animate static objects from a series of images that change very quickly to create that sensation of movement. Regarding the time lapse, It is about showing an event that occurs at a very slow speed but in an accelerated way through the capture of photographs during a fixed interval of time that, later, are joined to form a composition that will give that impressive visual effect.

Both time lapse and stop motion can be done from the iPhone or iPad with the iMotion HD app, one of the best in the App Store to perform this task.

In the main menu of the application we have the Four modes of operation of the application:

Time lapse: we set a time interval that can go from 0,1 seconds to one day to take pictures automatically.
Manual: we are the ones who decide when the iOS device has to take a picture
remoted: we can use another iOS device as a remote control to take pictures. For this, it is essential that both are within the same Wi-Fi network.
Microphones: the device will take pictures when a volume threshold that we have previously defined is exceeded.

It should also be noted that Depending on the orientation of the device, the final composition will have some proportions or others. In the case of the iPhone, they will be 720 × 720 in vertical position and 1280 × 720 if it is horizontal. The last thing we have to do is have patience and compose what we want to portray.

When we're done iMotion HD offers near-instant preview. We can vary the number of frames per second to give more or less sense of movement or eliminate the frame that does not convince us. If everything is correct, it only remains to export the composition to the memory of the iOS device, publish it on YouTube or Facebook. The application itself has a viewer of all the compositions that we have created, which is very interesting to see them comfortably.

iMotion HD is a free application compatible with iPhone and iPad although if we want to be able to export the created compositions, we will have to pay 1,79 euros to unlock this function.
