Dragon Stop Motion can call a local script file whenever certain events occur. This is a very easy and straightforward integration with many possibilities. Here are some:

• Back up your high-resolution images whenever a new image is downloaded.
• Color process your RAW files whenever a new image is downloaded.
• Notify a content management system whenever a frame is captured.
• Instruct a motion control application to advance its position whenever Dragon Stop Motion moves to a new frame.

Dragon Stop Motion calls your script file for the following events:

• SHOOT : As soon as the user triggers a frame capture.
• DELETE : As soon as the user deletes an image.
• POSITION FRAME : When Dragon is ready to capture another frame/exposure.
• CAPTURE COMPLETE : When Dragon has downloaded a high-resolution image from your camera.

Your script file is a bash script (".sh", for Mac OS X) or a batch file (".bat", for Windows).
Start with our documented examples and go from there.
