Description

Upgrade from VideoBlender save 50%

Frames (previously known as VideoBlender) is the premier tool for turning images into animated movies.

Pupils can create movies using pictures that they have taken for clay animation, stop-motion animation, and much more.

The process of creating animation engages students in the curriculum and encourages problem-solving.

Designed for education, Frames combines an intuitive interface with powerful authoring tools. With Frames, pupils can add text, shapes, and transitions to images, and add sound tracks to their animations.

Pupils can also search and choose from thousands of images in the Pics4Learning collection to use in their animated movies.

With Frames, you can use the same program on Macs and PCs. This makes Frames perfect for multi-platform environments, allowing you to train users once, and then focus on creating curriculum projects.

Pupils can create animations that demonstrate curriculum concepts, share language arts projects, explore art techniques, and much more. Frames lets students create animations frame-by-frame, including imported videos.

Movies can be saved as QuickTime, AVI, and Animated GIF for use online, in multimedia presentations, or for inclusion in other video productions.
