    Hello all,
    I have heaps of clip-art characters, and I would like to learn how to make them move-eg, walk, move their arms, etc.
    Can AE do this ? Or do I need other complicated programs ? If so, can anyone suggest any programs ? ( I don’t mean Gif-Animators for the Web, or stuff like Poser, that animates 3d objects ).
    Many thanks, Steve
