Thanks!If you're aiming for a professional result (and are prepared to spend a lot of money and time), I'd recommend Maya, a 3D computer animation package.

Or, if you're just aiming for "tolerable" results, I'd suggest a number of (somewhat) cheaper programs, like Adobe Premiere, Nero 7, Director MX, Cinema 4D...not to mention Photoshop. Regardless, a graphics tablet wouldn't hurt your efforts either (mine was $110 at CompUSA).

So, I guess it depends on how much time, money, and effort you're willing to put into this.

Maya is for character modeling and animation. I doubt the OP would be able to use it or even have a need to use it as the animation for the Smallville credits isn't that difficult to accomplish. Any one of those smaller programs you mentioned could probably end up with a professional looking result if you knew what you were doing.
