C-point Platypus Animator

Software (shareware): Windows only
We have not tried this one yet. It looks like it would work very well.

BTV Pro:

Mac Platform
Again, we have not tried this software, but it sounds pretty amazing. It is not a beginner's software package! It is a shareware that runs $40.00 per license and must be purchased over the Interent.
