The software my school uses if Flipbook
http://www.digicelinc.com/index.htm

Then again you want something free... and Flipbook is far from free.

If you already have Adobe Photoshop, it should come with ImageReady. You can use it to make a .gif animation. Just load up all the pictures onto their own layer. Just show the picture you want for each frame. You can even control how long to show the frame. 'Save optimized as...' save as .gif and you have an animation.

I think Flipbook saves you from doing all of that. Just take a shot of each frame with your cam and it'll play it.

Sorry I don't really know a 'free' program.

i just tryied out the demo verson of flipbook
I was wondering, do i have to capture from the first drawing you did?
you know when you work on the traditional animation
lets say there is 60 drawings,
i heard that people usually capture the last drawing you did, then reverse it on the computer
so on the computer first capture(last drawing #60) go at last and the last capture(first drawing #1) goes on the top.

how can you do this on the flipbook?

Hi Nedgin,

I'm the programmer of Toki LineTest.
You wrote you got on error when using it.
Please, could you explain what the problem is ?
Then I can fix it and you could use the basic free version.

Thank you.
Kind Regards,
