Special Features That Shine: Green Screen (Chroma Key): This feature lets students add exciting backgrounds to their animations, taking their stories to new worlds—from outer space to underwater adventures!

Review: Kudos to the Zu3D company for putting together a truly good package for learning stop animation. - Very easy to use, I bought this for myself to create stop animation comics of my sculptures. Pros: The software interface is very friendly and simple to use. All controls are straight forward and intuitive. Drag and drop from frame to frame is flawlessly executed. I created a short animation in less than five minutes on my desk. (see uploaded video) The camera with the kit is adequate to simple captures and has built in lighting with a dimmer control. The kit includes; a green screen cloth that works very well with the software, some backdrops suitable for kids, an easy manual, multiple colours of clay for claymation, a quick start guide, and the software CD. Cons: The LED lighting on the included camera washes out anything white or glossy even at the lowest setting, so use some old school incandescent. Once any of the limited effects are applied You are stuck with them unless undo is applied before closing the software or applying another effect, so you cannot remove an effect, at least I cannot find a way so far. There is a link in the Readme file on the disk to download media content if you install the older version for Windows XP, however the the link is brings you to a 404 page not found and their main website has no link to download said content. Conclusion: I highly recommend this package for anyone wanting to dabble in simple stop animation, and for anyone with children who interested in making their own animations. Kudos to the Zu3D company for putting together a truly good package for learning stop animation. ## Features - JOIN THE WORLD of Animation.

He’s just discovered stop-motion and it’s his newfound passion. This was on his list. My son is a software design engineer manager at Amazon. He’d cleared my grandson’s wish list; however, he just assumed that this kit would have a CD rom in it. As is often the case…his “assumption” now has him buying a CD rom. I’m extremely thankful that I discovered this BEFORE Christmas; otherwise It would be like gifting a 10 year old a battery operated toy with NO batteries…on Christmas morning😵‍💫 For his birthday, the poor kid got 2 “electric” presents that were duds. One is that “as advertised on TV” lit-up “floating” cage-like ball. Problem: It didn’t have the bomarang return right out of the box😵‍💫. As with many TV “products”, the ads made it appear to by “out of the box ready to use” toy. Turns out it’s like pitching, you have to know HOW to throw it. The second present was a laser remote Cornwall climbing car. PROBLEM: Like many cars, it pulled to the left. It wouldn’t go straight so it wouldn’t climb the wall! I useable toys does not teach delayed gratification…it creates frustration and disappointment😞 LESSON: CHECK the toy out throughly BEFORE gifting….Batteries/CDrom needed? Car “tires” aligned? PhD in pitching needed before use? As a gift giver, don’t add a source of frustration for the receiver😵‍💫 ## Frequently Bought Together - Zu3D Complete Stop Motion Animation Software Kit For Kids Includes Camera Handbook And Two Software Licenses Works On Windows Apple Mac OS X And iPad iOS - Chromakey Gloves Green Chroma Key Glove Invisible Effects Background Chroma Keying Green Gloves for Green Screen Photography Photo Video… (Tight, Green), 50x12cm - The LEGO Animation Book: Make Your Own LEGO Movies! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1797776-zu3d-complete-stop-motion-animation-software-kit-for-kids-includes](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1797776-zu3d-complete-stop-motion-animation-software-kit-for-kids-includes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
