I have been looking for LITERALLY over a month now and can't find a better stopmotion program (other than WMM) and I don't have the money right now for the new Sony Vegas programs...SOS, please help. 
MonkeyJam, you can find a link in the Free software list.
This site needs to have a reform on the way it treats new members. The only reason I've actually stayed apart of the brickfilming community was becuase BF.com used to be so much more welcoming and accesible to younger members. Telling someone just to go google something isn't really good enough.
Anyway, I used to use Monkeyjam and I thought it was fantastic, it's free and you can find it here.
It has a bit of a learning curb, but once you get the hang of it, it's a great piece of software. If you have any questions just PM me or come back and post a question here, hopefully someone won't snub you and direct you to google.
Next time you're looking for free software check out the Free Software List
And any other questions like this should probably go in the Software and Hardware forum
Here is a tutorial for monkey Jam:

Well, which is it? Are you looking for a stop-motion program or an editing program? Because both WMM and Sony Vegas aren't made for the actual process of capturing frames for stop-motion animation, they're video editors.
MindGame has a very good point but if you need a new editor program check out this forum http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/to … ware-list/ and read your sentence before you post so we can understand fully and welcome to the site
You can animate with WMM though. I agree that it is an editor, but if you compile frames taken on another device and make them as short as possible it'll run at 15fps just as well as MonkeyJam can. Trouble is, it's a pain the the backside. I used to do it and look at all my frames saying "Oh goodness, I'm here for a while!" Then I was introduced to the wonders of MonkeyJam! (I almost typo'd MonkeyHam there) Made my life much easier.

I thought he would have looked at the forum a bit and there are many discussions on it. Sorry for being a bit mean to the new guy.
For those of you saying that, I HAVE been searching google but i only find the same stuff, also for most of you, thanks for the suggestions! Wow, so many replys to a newbie post like mine... 
Anyways, Welcome to BiM! I recommend checking out the Beginner's Guide to Bricks in Motion. I hope you find our community to be helpful and nice. I can't wait to see what brickfilms you make in the future!
