Question
I dont know what to do once i have all the "sceans" for the cartoon. What do i use ic an only find microsoft movie maker and i cant post that anywere on the internet? What can i use?

Answer
    There are many applications to make cartoons out on the market with all different prices attached. Some of the ones I use are Toon Boom Studio/Solo and Flash for 2D. Maya and Poser for 3D. If you are a student you can get major discounts on some of the more expensive software at Studica.com.

    If you have scenes completed in a specific progrm you need to export them into a Quicktime or Windows Media File at a resolution that can be uploaded to You Tube or My Space. If you need to edit existing scenes together you may need Avid or Final Cut to edit your scenes together into a single file.

I hope this is helpful,
