Does anybody know of a good animation software like Motion 2.0 but not as exensive and probably not as many features?

I'm looking for something to make some better DVD menu's and Intros for movies and stuff like that. Any help would be appreciated.

Motion is about as basic as it gets, the only other thing would be IDVD, and that is basicaly all preset stuff. DVD Studio Pro 3 is pretty straight forward. If you are confused on certian funtions of the program pick up a tutorial at barns and noble. or just search for them on google. even using tutorials to do things that you arent wanting to do will help you get a grasp on how the program works, and will in turn help you achive the specific effect or look you desire

thanks but i guess i wasn't too specific, I'm not really sure how to say it but something that i can use in a video, where i can have a bunch of pictures in a collage and be zoomed up on a certain icture, and then it moves acrross the collage to another picture. I'm not sure if that made any sense but if anyone understood that, please help me.

Flash would work if you got enough time. I use it for a lot of things, but sometimes it takes a lot of time to do a simple task if you want it to look good.
