Try Tucows....lots of freebeis and a trusted site that has been out there for years\n\nGraphicsGale 1.74  \n\nhttp://www.tucows.com/preview/400653\n\nYou won't find an animation program to beat Flash though....very expensive.

macromedia flash would work great for that kind of animation. You just need to look on the music bar where there's a beat (spike on the sound line) and insert a frame change on that frame.

Try GIMP from http://gimp.org I think. Its a good program about like photoshop but free instead of the $600.00 price tag.

i prefer jasc animation shop, but it cost's money. you can download a free trial off the jasc website but it only last's for a month. \n\ni have a friend that uses phuzeon animator and likes it so if jasc's not for you you can try that.

GO GET A BOOK! dont listen to anything these fools online tell you and just go get a text book. \n\nYoure gonna want to learn flash which is a program that will let you animate. you can download a free trial at http://www.macromedia.com/downloads/ \n\ngo to a bookstore and get yourself a book. ive found that to be the best way to learn.

You could use a program like Adobe Flash MX to create a Flash animation. (http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/flashpro/)\n\nThat's simpler than if you wanted more complex animations enabled by 3D modelers and such (see http://www.blender.org for a free 3d animation program).\n\nOr if your target is the web then along with flash you might consider javascript: http://www.google.com/search?q=javascript+animation&num=200&btnG=Go

make a scripting animation program similar to flash. this is what i created for my finals project.\n\nit goes something like this: you have two separate programs, one creates, edits and compiles the script file into an object file - or animation file, as i called it. the second program then reads the animation file, and does the object/picture manipulation as defined by your script.\n\nso basically, the first program is the compiler, while the second is the animator or animation virtual machine. i dubbed it virtual machine since the object file merely contains virtual instructions that are predefined and understood by the virtual machine, and all this "machine" does is manage the multiple executing virtual threads and emulate the instructions.\n\nhope this helps... =)\n\nedit :: i used ms visual basic 6 for both the compiler program and the animator program.
