I created this post to find out the software you use to capture the actually Lego images. I personally decide to use Anasazi Stop Motion Animator because it's simply and doesn't bare any annoying complications.
So just post what software you use to film the animation (not editing software) and possibly a reason why you use it.

I use Monkey Jam. Its pretty simple and you can edit the images you capture

i used to use that- but no onion skinning 
so now i use helium frog 
I use monkey jam.simple and effective:)
framebyframe, it's Mac software, though I may be getting iStopmotion sometime.
Monkeyjam unfortunately.
every time I used to Monkeyjam the video playback was choppy and inconsistent - so I gave up on it 
Stop-motion Pro 4 
I have a USB port in my left eye, and a camera in my right, so if I just stare really hard at the set, I can capture a crisp, 11880p image and send it directly into my MacBook Pro. Now, you may be wondering how I keep my shots so still. Well, I have a vice that I set up on my desk, and that keeps my head pretty still; I take aspirin for the pain, and sometimes just because I feel like having some. Everything else is pretty much the same way you guys do it... except I have the power to conjure up miniature stars and levitate them, so I don't need lamps.
But I don't feel like dealing with you guys complaining that my quality is so superior, plus YouTube doesn't support 11880p yet (no free video player does, for that matter), so I just stick with my old QC9K and MonkeyJam.
I use MonkeyJam, easy and free program. Only one bad thing: If I want to take my pictures in HD, I'll have to use Quick Cam 9000's own program to capture the pictures and then put them into MJ... 
I use Stop Motion Pro v6.
Stop Motion Pro 7. but it look's like my new camera don't work with it so I maybe have to change software 
Monkeyjam, free and easy
Monkeyjam. Like bramlvx said, free and easy.
Just one question, if Monkeyjam is coming out with a new version which has onion skinning, if I download the new version when it comes out, will I risk losing anything I saved on Monkeyjam or will it be ok? Will I have 2 different Monkeyjams? Do you know what I mean?
Boinx iStopmotion 2.0.
I use Stop Motion Pro v6 for frame capture, and I use the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 for my camera.
