Adobe Flash is the most used one, but supposedly HTML 5, the new web program language, is supposed to not support flash. Plus, it's probably expensive. 2012-04-16 03:29:00

Yeah, that's a little important
Are you looking for one where you draw the frames, or you use images and animate them? If you're looking for one you draw with, I've heard Pencil is a good one

The ability to import your own images would be a huge plus, if that's what you mean.

I actually found a program that can turn a sequence of images into a video, but the huge drawback is that there doesn't seem to be a way to specify a time for each image to show-up...

I haven't used the newer versions of GIMP but there's something called GAP (http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Using_GAP/) which may interest you. It's available for download here (ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/plug-ins/v2.6/gap/).

You could conceivably use a 3D modelling program like Blender, import the images as textures and use a series of orthographic cameras along a timeline to create a movie. You'd have to experiment to see what you could do.

The other alternative I know of is ffmpeg.

4 years ago I made this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TSCF1Qf5Tg) animation in Windows Movie Maker and Paint.NET over the course of 3 weeks which is pretty funny to think about now.

I have them for free too. Yeaah education. Unfortunately I am at a loss as to how to use them. The irony is that I get them for learning, but it isn't even part of my ICT course. I have to learn what about floppy disks instead.2012-04-27 19:52:00
