Mystop - A simple stop motion program for linux - created by Phillip J Rhoades

Sometimes I can't get the really cool feature full stop motion program for linux called stopmotion to work for me for one reason or another. (Despite a few problems it's a great program. Really. There are just some bugs with some cameras here and there.)

In those times I turn to my very simple stop motion program called Mystop. I wrote it using tcl/tk. It needs tvtime, and mencoder.

The README file:

Mystop verson .001

A stop motion creation program using tcl/tk and tvtime
make sure to install tvtime mencoder tcl and tk before using
you'll need to run: sudo apt-get install tcl tk mencoder tvtime
to meet dependencies
