No one said you were poor masterfilms. And TG-Tom, I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, but you could be a bit nicer.
Are you talking to me? Because I never said I was poor. 
No, I'm talking to masterfilms.
i just dont want to spend a lot of money for a program that is a lot like other free programs that are out there
That's true. Once I actually start getting serious at animation (I've taken it rather lightly moneywise right now) I'll buck up and buy some more expensive software. I already have MMEP14 though, and I like it.
Well, WMM is your best bet. For frame capture and editing itself MonkeyJam would be a good choice, along with VirtualDub and a few others. But for putting the clips together and compressing the video file you could just use WMM.
No, I have MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 14, and it's $50, and it's about 20 times as good as WWM. Here's all the software I use:
AnimatorDV Simple+, Audacity, MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 14, Axogon Composer, Gimp 2.6, MAGIX Music Maker 15, Cinegobs Color Keyer, Virtualdub, Paint.NET, Blender 2.46, Voodoo Camera Tracker, MLCad, LeoCad, and MPEG Streamclip. As you can see, I have quite the arsinal, and I know how to use every single one of them. Remarkably, I only had to pay for two of them.
I'm saying for beginners it's good to start out with one simple program haha. 
Yeah, that would be a good idea, but it dosen't take that long for people to adjust to more complicated stuff. I learned how to make CGI lego stuff this summer, and it was a LOT of hard work.
