Cinelerra is useable with everything so long as you're happy to transcode where necessary. Mostly with animation its easiest to use image lists and image sequence formats (PNG sequences are pretty good).
If you want vector animation then unfortunately the answer may not be oss. I have fun with anime studio pro 6.2. They're at version 9 now but 6.2 was the last native Linux version. It's cheap to buy and a fun, productive tool. Synfig is powerful oss vector animator but quirky, gnarly and slow. You'll likely get bogged down in the tech with that one . Pencil is not stable enough and the vector part is a joke. I do frame by frame animation with chains of scripts, gimp and gap plugin, command line tools like imagemagick, a sheet feed scanner, art rage running on wine, mypaint animation version... some nice little gtk mini applications, and some nautilus scripts I stole from anime studio forum members. Inkscape might be a good way to create static animation layers with vector techniques. You would then have to rasterise your scene before bring it into your compositing stage. LinuxStopmotion is sounding like an awesome upgrade on the only real Linux tool of any worth in that area. I will be playing with that one soon and can't wait. I hear stuff about Blender all the time but don't know anything from personal experience if it works or is worth the time investment. Other than that Linux anmation has a bit of vapourware and half finished products (ktoon).
