Systems we recommend for Boinx iStopMotion

The hardware requirements for iStopMotion are hard to define. The more RAM you have, the better for creating animation and video editing. The processor speed affects the overall performance as well. The graphics card also plays a major role, because the movie preview will display in a lower resolution if your graphics card does not have enough memory. This however does not affect the quality of the recorded movie. Below are the recommended specifications. For minimum requirements, please click here.
