I would like to put a "cover page" at the front of my
animation. Basically it would just be a blank page at the front of
the animation that gives some information about what is being
animated. Is this something I can do within animator or do I need
to use some other AVI editor program?
I do not know what SolidWorks Animator offers, however I can suggest getting a copy of Windows Movie Maker, which comes free with Windows XP. You can then add intro screens, transitions, and recompress the AVI down to a managable file size.
