(per User:Sethwoodworth#Stop-motion)
- I was just thinking of something similar the other day. "xoWebcam" -- Linux 'xawtv'/webcam package sugarized w/GUI. It's got frame capture capabilities built in, with total control of 'motion activated' and sequencing. Just need to find a good/lite package for putting frames into a movie format :-) ( 01:29, 16 January 2008 (EST))
