Question by ComedyLiker23: What programs are better for making animation?
I’m ComedyLiker23 from YouTube. I’m making a series of South Park episodes based off events in my life, and I’m currently working on episode 2. Here’s Episode 1 for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6a_4LrmKcU Now, the way I made the episode was by making the characters in Picture It (a photo-editing program) and making each frame of the episode in Picture It. And then after all the frames are done, I use Windows Movie Maker to make it into a video. I was wondering if there was any better way to the episodes. Maybe better programs or something. Picture It always freezed on me and says it encountered a problem. Any advice?
