Thanks for your feedback! I'll investigate this.
Development has been slow this past few months, and will probably still be slow for a few months, but I'm hoping to get some bug fixing done soon.

Is the software DSLR compatible yet? If not, do you know when it will?

Hi, I'm using Linux Mint 18 64-bit (Ubuntu 16.04) I found your animation software while looking for stopmotion software for linux. I have a Logitech C270 webcam. When I open the program, it detects my webcam, but it doesn't open it, there's no video. The camera light blinks for a split second but the picture doesn't show. The resolution shows as 0x0.

Here is the terminal output.

Any ideas? I would love to use your software, but I can't right now.

Yeah, it works if I de-select my camera and re-select it a bunch of times.

First, thanks Aiwha for your work on this, and for providing us with a new and really cool looking alternative to the cureently aging, though classic, choices of software. Long story short, Helium Frog has basically given up on me, and I've downloaded Heron as a possible alternative. (What is it with animators and animals? MonkeyJam, Helium Frog, Heron...)

Anyway, if I had but one suggestion, it would be to allow 1080p exporting. Unless I'm missing something obvious, it seems like the max is 720p. Is this currently in the works, and if not, is there a special reason why not? It seems to me that it wouldn't be that much harder to add another export setting, but I may be missing something here.

So far, I quite like what you've done, but the 720p limit is the one thing making me more hesitant to truly embrace it.

Well, it's a Logitech C910, which can record in 1080p, and easily take pictures that large. But lo and behold, it can only stream/video chat (With Skype, for instance) 720p. I wonder if that streaming limit is the problem...

I've done a ton of 1080p recording through Helium Frog, so I know it can work, but will do some more testing with Heron today.
Thanks for the quick reply!

Something that would be very helpful to add is a way to be able to control the camera (Focus, white balance, ect, ect) within the softare.

That is indeed, Sir Snorlax, something I would love to see directly in the program. But as Pritchard Studio, the main problem iw that it would have to be coded for each brand, and I am not even sure that they all allow access to their webcam like that. I'll keep it in mind, but that's not a priority fir now.

Thanks for the kind words Pritchard, it's really appreciated!
I'll soon be able to resume the development of Heron, massive changes are planned (at least in the background), so do not expect it too soon. But that will allow saving and loading projects and more!

Unfortunately I don't think it is possible to take a frame directly instead of grabing a still from the video stream in Javascript. It bugs me that I can't provide 1080p support due to that, but I haven't found a way around for now.

Interesting.
Thanks for letting me know! I'll work on it.
