Question: Which Animation Program Should I Start With?
Answer: I would definitely recommend starting with Flash, for beginners. It's not just a starter program; it's practically a staple of 2D animation, and you can start off with the basics and move up to the more advanced aspects of animation and programming. The basics of key-frame animation and terminology can easily apply when or if you want to move on to more complicated, programming-oriented or application-development animation software like Director, or if you want to take the next step into 3D and apply the same animation concepts in the third dimension.
