I'm looking for a program, preferably freeware or cheap which i can use to animate with. I'm entirly new to animation and i have some requirments.
I've used the freeware Microsoft Animator before and the main problem i have with it is that it kills the colours and shading whenever you import something. It removes colours and fucks with the dithering. So a must is:
- Accurate preservation of the shading, colour and form on conversion to a .gif.
The ablity to maintain custom imported pallets from adaptive gifs (this is how i normally save my work).
- Easy useability
- Afordability (I don't want to pay $700 for a program... ^^;; )
These are my main concerns, i would like to know what you all use and what you can recomend. : )
