i use mac and i suggest framebyframe for a first free program, it isnt great nit hen ur ready use istopmotion, a 50$ stop-motion program for macs, it is very good (i use it currently)... also use i movie OR final cut express 4. It is easy to use but cost alot so for now use imove...
I just ordered istopmotion express it should be here in a week
The software I use for animating and editing on my Mac are:
iStopMotion (Frame Capture and Animating) (Cost $50 at the least, but there is a free trial)
iMovie '09 (Editing)
Audacity (Sound Editing)
