I just bought a $30 webcam (which is great for my purposes) and I just use windows movie maker (free with XP) to make stop-motion animations and the like... you can just take jpgs (from your digital camera or ones you draw on your computer or elsewhere) and stitch them together in WMM... I also have PaintShop Pro which comes with Animation Shop for doing the same...

If you have a MPEG or AVI file that you want to split up - for instance just to upload a small taster sample to a website, then things couldn't be easier - with XP you can do so for free.\nSimply load up Windows Movie Maker, and load up your MPEG or AVI.\nLet's say you want to just have the first minute of a five minute piece of film... easy!\nOnce loaded, fast forward to the place where you want to cut, and click the icon (usually in the bottom right) 'split in two at this point'. And there you go - you have two sections - simply discard the bit you don't want to keep and save the other!\nTip: add a fade out to both sound and video tracks over the last few seconds of the clip to make it seem more professional and make the stop less abrupt.

I don't know if it's "the best" but it's definitely easy to use and offers more than just the basics. It's Windows Movie Maker which comes with Windows XP. Allows you to import clips, including importing footage from a camcorder etc. There's a wide variety of output options in terms of quality, and actually editing and mixing your video is easy. Dozens of transitions, fades, brightness filters, effects, volume adjustments etc. and you can add in music of your own as well. I use it all the time to edit my digital camera movie clips as well as ones I take with my Sony Handycam.\n\nP.S. - The latest update (2.1) offers DVD burning capabilities - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx

the ones i have seen are just bits of the anime cut together with a soundtrack.  is this what you mean or do you wan to make the animation yourself.  if it is the first then windows moviemaker will do it as will a hundred other programmes.  you will need to source the origional animation first though.  if you want to do it from scratch then you will need a lot of money and years of practice

There are many ways, but in case you are a user of Windows XP, you can try using Windows' very own "Windows Movie Maker" to past all of those together.

It's not going to be in the add/remove program list, because it's pre-installed when you install Windows.  I did however check the add/remove windows components list, and it wasn't in there either.  \n\nThe only place I could find it was C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Movie Maker\n\nSo if you go to My Computer, double click the C: drive icon, double click, Program Files, and right click on the folder Movie Maker, then choose Delete.  That will remove it, but I don't know if it would affect Windows.  Windows doesn't like having programs or files that make it work or function a certain way deleted, cause errors pop up later down the road.  I personally don't see that happening, but it is at your risk.

First you need to create the narration.  You can easily do this in Windows Movie Maker.  Open up a new project and choose the Narration feature from Tools.  Choose your input source (line in or microphone).  Click Start, speak, then click Stop.\n\nWhen you are done you'll see the narration on the 'audio/music' track.  Now save this as a 'movie' (File > Save Movie File).  It will act like it is saving a movie but it will actually save an audio file (.wma).\n\nNext you want to create a movie from your sound file.  One cool thing that you can do is play the file in Windows Media Player and choose your favorite visualization, just as you would for music).  Play it a few times to see if you like it.\n\nNext download the 'Windows Media Encoder' from microsoft.com.  I gave you a link below.  It allows you to capture any part of the screen as a movie... it's great for capturing any motion on the screen, and it works well for the WMP visualizations.  Specify the region that aligns with the WMP window and start the capture as you play your narration.  When done you'll have a movie of your voice!\n\nI hope that explains it well enough.

You can use a .MOV file in Windows Movie Maker but it must be converted.  I would suggest the RAD Video Tools (free) for doing this.  I assume you have been able to get the file off your camera.  The next step is to convert using the tools.\n\nRather than describing all the steps, there's a very good tutorial on the process.  I'll include it in the links below.\n\nHope that helps and happy movie making!

There are many ways to do it. If you have Windows XP you probably already have Windows Movie Maker that comes with a wizard to do just that. Some PC also come preloaded with PowerPoint which can also be used for that purpose.
