USanimation "Harmony"
http://www.toonboom.com/products/harmony/

I am helping a friend research some proggy's. But all the others I see seem to pale in comparison to what this package is capable of. Is this like the ultimate animation package or are their others that can do the same. PLease post any links or info.

Mirage from Buahaus is great

Thanks, I was looking at mirage as well. But it does not seem to be as robust. But for the price it is powerful. Does Mirage have IK's? Here is Harmony's features.

Ok... so you're looking for more vector-based traditional 2D type of program... right? Mirage (which is what I use) is raster... and as a result, you're going to be animating frame-by-frame in a more traditional way.

umm ... yeah, US Animation/Harmony is pretty much unique... I guess the only thing I can think of (that still falls short) is The Tab (from Digital Video, makers of Toonz) -- but since you mentioned Harmony instead of Toon Boom, you're probably looking for something more high-end. Yeah, I'd say Harmony pretty much stands alone for that type of thing. It's a pretty dry market out there.
