Hi - I did this with the kids one rainy day.
Got kids toys on the kitchen table. Stuck a digital camera onto the table with blue-tack. Got the kids to move the toys a bit at a time. Took photos of each movement. Downloaded all the photos from the camera (via usb) into Microsoft Movie Maker. This program is in XP for free - just click on start/programs/accessories. This let me string all the photos together one after the other, add music, then start and end credits. It then compiled the whole thing into 1 movie file. It was VERY easy to do, but the whole thing does take a long time. 1 second of film is supposed to be 24 frames of individual pictures. Obviously, I didn't go that far!

Hate to tell you but stop motion is based on still photographs edited together to create the illusion of motion. There are no programs for this since it's a process that is done completely by hand. That's why it takes so long, is so expensive to produce, and is so respected. Any of those postings you saw on You Tube took a long time to make with no short cuts. Sorry!

With respect to the actual animation producer who just answered, there is another way. What you have to do is get a remote-control robot like those sold at Radio Shack or other stores. (Asimo, Robo Sapiens, Wow Wee Toys Obovie, etc.)
Cover the robot with plastic film (a dry cleaning bag) to prevent getting gunk in the joints and then mold plasticine over it to resemble the character you want. Presto! you can make the character move the way you want with the remote controls and dub in the voices later. This way, it eliminates the need for stop action work.
(Iknowsome, you are welcome to try this in your own studios, but bear in mind that you will owe me royalties.)
Getting the faces right is difficult and can be tedious, but with a second set of remote controls for moving 'muscles' under a latex molded 'face', the effects can be quite amusing. While these are not acceptable for realistic human-like faces (we are talking high-level hobbyist stuff here, not audio-animatronics), they are perfectly suitable for entertainment animation.

by hiding the support stands behind the object being filmed, or remove the stands using Computers...
