FREE animation programs?

[K00lKyle]

Well, I want to make animation. I can already make a little, but it sucks compared to what I might be able to do if I had something as good as flash- yet it's expensive for me. -_-

So, do you guys know of any decent animating programs that are free, or have trials with all the tools?

Some are listed here. I don't know how good they are, though.

Pivot is a great free program if your looking into getting into animation

Give it a go.

well, you can always make frame by frame animations in paper and put them together in any editing software, but thats just bleeeeeh. Ive hear about a software called "Pencil" and looks a little bit like flash, heres the link http://www.pencil-animation.org/ , maybe give it a try, its free, i havent tried it tho.

Free animation programs are a bad idea, the only worth anyone's time that is free, is pivot, otherwise, no dice
