Free/Open Source animation software

Some interesting animation apps that I didn’t know existed. I'm planning to do some frame-by-frame hand-drawn animation, not going for a Flash vector look, so it's probably one of these or Photoshop layers.

I don't have much experience with this, but I need to know our options for advertising on Facebook.

If your ad is running in an app, there's a lot you can do.

If it's running on your FB page, there's no HTML5, just static images, videos, animated GIF, and a richer templated thing called FB "Canvas". I keep links here for my own reference —
