created Free Traditional Animation Programs?
on 10-11-2009 10:11 PM
I'm looking for a program that will allow me to do traditional animation on the computer, w/tablet, blah blah etc. Free is preferred, cheap is alright, and expensive is fine too. It would be great if it allowed for coloring, layering, etc.
So far, I've found Pencil ( http://www.pencil-animation.org/index.php?id=Why)
So, please share with me your deepest darkest trade secret programs.
(if there is already a thread for something like this, I apologize profusely, and please delete this post, and share the link to said thread)

Would like to hear what you found as well, but had you not called off the search I would have suggested Photoshop (or GIMP) + Quicktime Pro.
Whenever I do traditional animation, I make my frames in photoshop, save them in sequential numbers, and then open image sequence in QT Pro.

It's not free, but I hear it's the most widely used. http://www.toonboom.com/main/ |

Josh is quite right. I'd love Toonboom if only I had the Benjamins... I use Flash - but it's hardly free. I remember using a free-to-use line testing prog a while ago.. I'll see if I can find the linky... just for other folks who might be curoius.
There might be some suggestions over at Adam Phillips's site Biteycastle.com

Try going to www.alternativeto.net and typing in the name of a program that does what you want (i.e - Flash), and it will list alternatives (commercial, open source, free, etc.)
Is this a thread for compiling a list of traditional animation programs?

I use monkey jam for my pencil tests. It's really easy to use and free! http://www.giantscreamingrobotmonkeys.com/monkeyjam/

The problem with PS is that there is no onion skinning and you can't flip between previous and next frames (like hitting arrow keys).
