What is the best free 2d animation program?
Lunchboxes are outdated, overly expensive pieces of video equipment. Everyone has a computer, and animation software has stepped up to replace Lunchboxes and their limited amount of features, limited image frame storage, and their inability to save and re-open multiple files. Some of the better commercial 2D animation programs such as Digicel Flipbook, Toon Boom, TVPaint, TAB, and PAP, have Student or Express versions that are fairly inexpensive. However, you might be disappointed by how crippled these stripped down programs are compared to their more expensive Pro versions. But if you look hard enough you should be able to find them cracked online (rapidshare, bittorrent). There are some free alternatives. If you’re doing old school drawn on paper frame by frame stuff or stop-motion or 2D, I’d suggest MonkeyJam. It’s free. http://www.giantscreamingrobotmonkeys.co… If you’re on a Mac, use Pencil(there’s PC
