Hey 2-D, Pivot is EASIER than Flash. Flash is for the med rank.

flash isn't hard. you draw a frame, then you draw another frame, or use the linetool or whatever.
flash is easy as ****.

pivot is easier as **** because you don't have to put as much effort into it.

and who cares anyways, if you want to be a great animator, flash will get you there, pivot isn't going to do shit for you other then teach you how to move dots around slowly.

2-D's point is valid though. you can do BASICALLY anything with flash, especially if you bother to learn AS to go with your animating.

Get a trial version of flash, and its a month free, or........

But I won't divulge that secret.
and of course the better stuff costs. isn't that how it's been for lifetimes?

Yup but still some people can make pivot look better than flash it all depends on your skill.

Believe me 2D Pivot is only marginally easier than flash. Getting good and pivot and getting good at flash requires roughly the same amount of effort. I know.
