animation program

[MANIDY inc]

so im used to flash and how simple everything is, i've tried a free one (forgot the name) and it was just way more confusing compared to flash,

 

but now flash or whatever they call it now is $20 a month and thats for a annual plan not worth,

 

so is there any simple top use animate softwear thats paid like a one time payment or free, the biggest thing is how the layers work, i like how they worked in flash better then in the other ones i used.

As an animator myself, would say - Go for toonboom as it's an industry standard in 2d animation. Been working in flash for 2 years, and am working in TB harmony for the last 3 years and have to admit, flash suck bal ls. Flash is good for games or annoying banners, not for proper animation

 

If yer looking for a open source one - go Open Toonz (used partly by Ghibli studio). Apart from awful interface, it's basically TB Advanced for free. Amazingly powerfull tool. https://opentoonz.github.io/e/

 

Me myself like to animate small 2d classic scenes in Krita (which is also open source) tho it's more like photoshop and only bitmap graphics (not vector). Also, I replaced my adobe sub when I found out about Krita. It does pretty much the same as photoshop (illustration wise) - for free! 

 

IMO avoid Synfig.
