I'm looking for an animation program that will let me rip frames from AVIs and then overlay text over the frame animation. My sister swears by Jasc Animation Studio, but Jasc is gay and won't let you overlay text over every frame at once.

I'm not sure what you mean by animation program, but I like Adobe Premiere and After Effects for vid editing.

I want something that will let me open an AVI, pick a frame range, overlay text over all those frames, and export it as an animated GIF.

Oh. Yeah, After effects will let you do all the overlay, and then let you export the AVI as a series of PNG images. You'll need something else, like GIMP, to compile it into an animation.

I live in an Adobe­ house. ­­

Speaking of Adobe...

My friend Arion just bought the Adobe CS3 Master Suite. He hasn't been able to install it yet, but it seems really badass. It has a lot of programs, though I'm disappointed that Adobe Audition isn't in the bundle.


RIP Hacker.

My sister has to use Adobe CS3 Design Premium for the program she's in - graphics or something - and it's on helluva bundle! I can only imagine that for the $500 more Master Suite would be fucking amazing.
