I have a bit of a dilemma. I'm designing a game in PHP (been designing it for several months now.) And want to release a trailer. Right now, the game isn't very pretty, and won't be until I get someone to do some artwork for me, but I haven't gotten much interest anywhere I've posted looking for an artist. So, I've decided to make a trailer, that describes the basic idea of the game (endless universe, can build stuff, collect resources, and fight other players. Sci fi sort of thing. Dont really need to explain it for this use.) And I was wondering if any of you knew of a animation program I could use, that is free. Basically, what I need to do is have fancy headlines flash on the screen, then have a short video clip to describe it. I don't necessarily need to do any actual animation, I just need to put the stuff together. I used to have Pinnacle studio when I went through a little film-making phase, but I seem to have misplaced it. I'm looking for something that's about as simple as that, but free.

Thanks! If you need any more info, just ask.
