View Full Version : What is a good animation software?

What I would like to do is design an image in Illustrator, and then make it "move."

For example, if I made a spinner design, I would like to be able to make the arrow spin and then fly off.
Similarly, move text in and out (like Keynote, but better.) And maybe animate photos of people. (nothing too fancy there, campy like Monty Python.) Assemble images, etc.

And then, finally put all the clips into a finished movie. iMovie, or is that a job for the animation software itself?

I'm way over my head here, but I think I'd like to give it a try.

Any and all advice and experience is appreciated. I'm pretty good in Illustrator, having used it for many years, so I would like to start there if possible.
