I would like to programmatically create a simple animated video. Do not think that the Toy Story animation, think that simple figures move around the screen and other very simple lines and dots only in black and white mode. The purpose of the video is to explain a complex scientific concept with a 5-minute video against pages and pages of text that attempt to describe images with words.
What is the best open source framework for creating a .mov or .flv file that I can upload to youtube or vimeo. I could use ImageMagick to write jpeg after jpeg and then ffmpeg to turn these jpeg into .mov file. But is there a better framework for simple animation? I feel that the ImageMagick to ffmpeg route will include a lot of me writing code from scratch to draw a stick picture across the screen.
