hi everyone. I just bought crazy talk 5.1 pro yesterday. spent three hours installing because of a firewall issue. :(

I managed to basically import a picture, import my audio, tweak the phonems (but CT5 is NOT recognizing the proper phonems even though my audio is pristine and super clear), add some real-time puppet moves (why does it keep grouping as a move and overlaying stuff below it w/o deleting the prev stuff below? very confusing) and then on export, all my selections of vid options sucked. Full frames video made video lag ref the voice.


So, a few questions...

My goal is to animate a talking/dancing remote control for a commercial.

Dancing will be done AFTER CT5 and talking IN CT5.

1) I need to have very clear video to import to the next step of my animation process. what video codec/setting do you recommend for export to retain a very high quality output? I'm not sure if the full frames uncompressed trial I did was lagging because of my media player or what.


2) The image quality and audio quality while inside crazy talk data is like. is this only occurring in the preview mode to facilitate speed of animation? is there another mode inside crazy talk that would let me see the image as it really is and hear the audio clearly instead of downsampled?


3) where are the GOOD tutorials? :)


Anyway, any help is appreciated.


Thanks,
Tim
