What is the Easiest Way to Create Animations?

Hey there

I hear the conversion rate of long text sales pitch is being replaced by video.

I'd like to make video versions using a Voice Over person of my sales pitches.

I'd like to make them exciting and fun --- kind of like they did with parts of the launch tree videos.


What is the best software to do this with -- and is it difficult to learn?

I use Adobe Illustrator daily, so if its related that would be key.. I know adobe has something -- I just can't remember what it is... and I am not sure if that is the ideal tool

Thanks

    Adobe has Flash, which you could use.

    If you don't mind a learning curve (which may be less than learning Flash), you might want to take a look at ToonBoom Studio. ToonBoom rocks!

    Of course, if you're not talking about character animation, you might want to stick with Flash. If you're doing real simple animations, you might even be able to do it with Photoshop Extended.

    If you use illustrator, you can easily copy and paste to Adobe Flash, and animate...
    The problem i guess is learning flash... its not rocket science, but its yet another lerning curve...
    You could Try sitepal.com for an easy solution...
    You can pick a character and make him/her look like you...
    its a bit freaky actually, but it works a treat....!

    But what about like graphics mixed with video -- like infomercial style stuff.

    Is that Adobe Aftereffects?
