I haven't been following this topic very well, but I myself make animations and I use OS 9 all the time. They are not clay animations (made with LEGO actually) but its all the same. These are a few programs for the classic OS that should work well for what you need:
Framed: a program that will let you take the still pictures from your digital camera and put them together into a movie file. Works pretty well for me. Its also free. http://www.likelysoft.com/framed/ FrameThief: this is a frame capturing program that will allow you to capture frames from a webcam, digital camcorder, or digital still camera. A single user license for it is only $40, but they also have an education single user price of $35. http://www.framethief.com/ BTV and BTV Pro: another frame capturing program. BTV allows you to capture frames, while BTV Pro has an actual stop motion feature. I have not used any of these personally so I do not have much experience with it. http://www.bensoftware.com/index.html Loud Inc: they make two stop motion programs. One of which is their normal version and one which is made specifically for kids. Some of the pages on their website are corrupted, so I have not been able to try them out. I know that the regular version (StopMotion Studio) has a $45 registration fee. I do not know if the kids version does or how much it is. StopMotioner: this program from Mein Software is still in the beta steps I believe. I also have not tried it out but it looks promising. http://www.miensoftware.com/stopmotioner.html That is about all of the software I can think of for now. Hope this helps. -Cody PS: if you would like to see some of the stop motion animations that are made with LEGO go here: http://www.brickfilms.com .
