Hello everyone I realize right now most people are participating in brawl 2013 (I am too) but I need a good recommendation on what Animation Software I should use. Right now I am currently SAM animations Demo version which is a little crappy. I am thinking on possibly getting istopmotion. Tell me if you have a good Software and just for more info I have a Mac not a PC. 
MonkeyJam and HeliumFrog are probably the two best free animation programs out there. I'd suggest trying out both to see which you like better.

Those don't work for mac. At least the last time I checked...

Do it. I think iStopmotion is your best bet on Mac. The only thing better than iStopmotion (IMO) is DragonFrame, but that's $300.
MonkeyJam's your best shot.
Definitely MonkeyJam. The interface is clean and simple but gets the job done. It doesn't crash as often as some of the other software I've tried before e.g. Helium Frog, which I probably had my worst experience filming with, due to the fact that it kept crashing every five minutes. There's no onion skinning in MonkeyJam though, so if you're picky, you could also take a shot at Animator DV Simple+, which I once tried and is not too shabby.
From my personal experiences, not too sure about the paid software, though.
Oh, sorry. I read you needed something for PC, not Mac.
Oh, I see. My fault.
I've heard that iStopmotion is quite good (I don't own a mac). There's also Dragonframe but that's like $300.
