Cateater released "Stop Motion Studio 2" for Windows on 2026-05-06, describing it as a complete rewrite on modern Windows technology after two years of development rather than an incremental update. The release adds an Animation Guide Editor for planning and choreographing shots before capture, background-masking tools that isolate a subject from its backdrop without a lit chroma-key set, full portrait-mode support for vertical platforms such as YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels, a set of built-in movie filters (snow, rain, VHS, cyberpunk), and new image-editing tools including rasterize and fill. Cateater called it the most advanced version of the app it has built. The durable facts -- what shipped, and how it compares with Dragonframe's production-grade but editor-free capture model -- are folded into the Wiki's Stop Motion Studio (Cateater) page rather than left to link-rot on the developer's own news feed.
