Does anyone know how to make videos like these? I have a nice talent drawing caricatures, but don't know how to animate them. There are some stop motion softwares but they lack some of features Flash has, like moving objects without drawing each 24 pictures separately. Please share if you know any software for this on Mac.

I made the above in a couple of minutes using the Gimp. (1)Create path. (2)Stoke path. (3)Modify path. (4)Create new layer. (5)Stroke path in new layer. (6)Goto (3).

Yes I know, it's very easy making cartoons with frames, for example I made this video in just 1-2 minutes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk6wc2MS6Qw What I am asking, if there any software for Mac making cartoons, without doing every effects by drawing every frame one by one. For example: - slowly disappearing one layer (without making tons of layers with different transparencies ) - slowly moving from place a to place b on a defined vector (without making layers with different locations ) Some special effects to simplfy the flow, for example flash does it, but it's very complex for me.
