Frameworks is stop-motion animation frame capture software. Frameworks captures images from a camera and strings them together into an animation. These still images may then be combined into a single video file using other software. Only V4L webcams are currently supported; work is being done to add other types of digital cameras including IEEE 1394 camcorders, and USB still cameras. Frameworks is designed to be easily used alongside the GIMP Animation Package (GAP). Frameworks provides an interface to camera brightness and other controls. It captures images as frame_0001.png, frame_0002.png, and so on. Frameworks provides animation assistance in the form of onion skinning: displaying ghost images of previous frames, and continuous preview: continuous playback of the most recent few seconds followed by the live view from the camera. No editing features are provided.
