Try this, it worked for me: I did that about four months ago, so hopefully I'm remembering it right.)

First, delete all the frames after the ghost 44. Then try to export those. It should work. Then, go back in, "undo" the erasing, then erase everything before the ghost 44, export those, and then you should have everything exported. More or less.

Onion skinning is a technique in stop motion animation to keep track of the smoothness of your animation. Basically, when you're animating, you overlay a "ghost image" of the previous frame over the live feed. This way, you can see exactly how much the image has changed (for example, while animating a minifig's arm). Here's a short Wikipedia page about it. I generally only use it if I've accidentally bumped my camera or set and need to realign it all.

I know I can click on a frame and then select the more options button to delete frames, but how would I undo deleting frames? Ctrl + Z ?

Nice animation there.
I do have to say most of the issues (duplicate frames and crashing when exporting) will be not that much of an issue if it saved each frame as you take it, so even if exporting at the end is bugged you can use the features then compile it in your editor of choice later.

Can't wait!

Edit: I've noticed that, while using other programs (such as Microsoft's built-in camera feature) I'm able to utilize my C615's native photo resolution of 1920x1080. However, in Heron, the image size maxes out at the camera's video resolution size of 1280x720.

Do you have any plans on addressing this. If not, I guess I'll just have to get myself a C920 then

Any chance the exporting will be fixed soon? This is the best free program that fits all my picky requirements but it is kinda annoying exporting the frames and extracting all the stuff using the download version.

If it is fixed (which would be awesome!) you might want to fix the part on the website that says it isn't working, because that's what I've been checking every day or so for the last 4 months.

I've updated the links in the first message of the thread. The project has not been abandoned, I've actually a new and less buggy version in the works. I have to admit that progress is slower than I'd like, though.

Any update on Heron Animation since the last post?
Also, is there a connection between Heron animation and Eagle animation? They seem quite similar.
