Animation Software

[WildBill]

I have been tasked to produce a short video/presentation at work. Is there any animation software that is cheap and has a very short learning curve? I have Corel RAVE.

I am considering trying to do it in PowerPoint, but I don't like it very much. It will be mostly still pictures with some simple animation, fade-in/out and sound effects.

Any suggestions?

Have you looked at Windows Live Movie Maker? I know you can add movies and images and add all kinds of animation. I think it came standard with Windows 7. You can also get the Microsoft version at: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/wind ... et-started" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
