btw thefoodman, your animations are really good, you should consider making good long ones.
another alternative is Anime Studio. it will set you back 30$, but it is worth the price for all of the features you get. I would call it a consumer version of AfterEffects.
I have Anime Studio. I ocasionally experiment with it. Good for vectors. I agree with that its a consumer version of AfterEffects, and thats exactly what I use it for. I use it mainly to add fx to videos.
