I want to create a video. The idea is to make a large (fixed) image where camera is flying above. I am familiar with Inkscape so I would prefer to make the image with it.
I need a program to move the camera across the image and save it to a video file. Alternatively I need another program to create and animate the video.
Does somebody have an idea? A couple of years ago I worked with Fireworks, but I don't have a Windows system or a Fireworks license here.
Try synfig
studio. It's similar in some ways to Inkscape, and geared toward vector based animation.

The interface is obviously a bit confusing at first (even overwhelming), but fortunately in the help menu there are tutorials and more to get you going.
How about Blender? http://www.blender.org/
