Who Uses Zu3D?

Schools & MATs

Cross-curricular projects in English, Art & Design, Computing, Science, History, MFL and more. Perfect for KS1–KS3, after-school clubs, and enrichment days.

Clubs & Community

Scouts, libraries, and arts groups use Zu3D for engaging workshops and quick-to-share films.

Home Creators

Budding animators can make films with LEGO®, modelling clay, drawings, or found objects — creativity first, tech second.

Why Teachers Choose Zu3D

  • Simple for pupils, powerful for teachers: intuitive capture, robust editing, and export that just works.
  • Built for schools: organization accounts, shared storage, and project oversight.
  • Low setup: works with common webcams; Cloud Stop Motion needs only a browser.
  • Real support: friendly help from a UK-based team that works closely with schools.

How It Works

  1. Capture: take frames with onion-skin to line up each shot.
  2. Enhance: add sound, titles, transitions, and green screen.
  3. Share: export to MP4 and showcase your film.
