I know basic HTML and can follow a guide book. I would like to be able to animate and add effects to video uploads such as those made in microsoft moviemaker (I haven't figured out how to do a movie right in Picasa 3). Granted, animation is new to me. I just want a few basic skills. Can you recommend a program, or do I need to take a class. It may seem like an ignorant question, and well, I'm ignorant of the subject or wouldn't have asked. However, if you know of a way to self teach animation, I'm good with learning that way. Thanks for any suggestions.

This is kinda of an old post but as no one answered... It looks to me that this has no link to HTML but I'll still answer. The best advice is to use Adobe After Effects. That's the best video editing software available on the market ( all movies have used it, even harry potter, twilight, and so on - I agree that they use many softwares but this is one of them ) You have to buy it but there are other ways ;) But we are not allowed to discuss them here. Anyway you should start with some basic video editing software until you end with after effects ( if youre good, someone could hire you and offer you the license ;) )
