I made an animation in WMM once and it came out pretty good, it's just annoying.
Are you trying to do an animation where you have each frame as a seperate image?
If so, Synfig is an animation tool, but I haven't used it.
I'm pretty sure you can export to movie files..

Yep, you hit it right on the head.

I've heard of Synfig before, although I'm not sure if it's right for the type of animation I'm doing. I guess I could read more into it before trying it out. 

I'm not sure I have wanted to make a movie when you can play multiple video's at once didn't find anything.

Jaycut.com is a good free video editing service. To get the full features, you have to pay, but the free features are pretty good.

So, you have all the frames? I don't know if this is relevant, but I made an animation with blender, and making the video file would be monstrous, so I recorded the inblender playback with hypercam2
I had this software before, but it's installed on another computer, so I don't remember the name. But if you go to the ARC Animation Resource Center blog, and click the free stuff button, it should give you the link to it.

You can't with windows moviemaker because you have to have each frame at least 1 second.

You can change the time between frames on WMM.

I think adobe flash can do this pretty easily (turning frames into movie).

Sure. Go ahead and get a 30 day trial.

BTW lon is alive.

Trial glitch- there's a glitch in adobe trials where if you don't close the program, you can use it after the trial expires.

That;s a funny glitch.

maybe it was MRN. and I thought she said that it was when your trial is over, keep the installer but delete the program, then re install.

Every once in a while, I code in Apophysis and render thousands of frames of fractal images to make abstract fractal films. They're fun to make... except when I it's time to put all those frames together and render them into a video file.

I tried Windows Movie Maker, but it often times fails when it comes to frame-by-frame animation. I have another movie making software called InterVideo, but its so huge so it runs rather sluggishly on my computer, making everything come to a standstill.

I'm wondering if you guys have any suggestions for movie making software, particularly ones that can handle frame-by-frame animation and doesn't kill the computer. 

It fails with frame-by-frame animation?
I remember that about a year ago I used to make an animation series called... umm... something Wars. I would use Legos and a camera to make it. However, Windows Movie Maker automatically sets the default time to 5 seconds per frame and it was a pain in the butt. Are you having the time problem?

Not true. You can make a frame as long as you want.
This aniamtion is proof
This is the animation I mentioned above, there no way this is all one second frames.

Then could you explain your animation bit so i can try to find something else?

I'm going for something like this.

Oh, no, it's not that (oh boy, maybe I wasn't too clear in my first post). For some reason or another, my version of WMM doesn't like to publish any .mswmm containing over 100 or so frames, and those that it does publish end up having very choppy animation; to put it bluntly, it hates very large file sizes.
