Geeze, there are SO MANY THINGS I have learned by making these two videos. It exhausts me just THINKING about sharing what I have learned.
For example: It seems that, by default, you are only allowed to create a 1:07 minute video. I had to play around with it until I finally learned how to lengthen the time so that when I imported the voice track the full voice track could be heard.
If you watched how the Alfred E Newman video ended that was an example of how my projects were cut off at 1:07. Now, trying to explain how I fixed the problem...gosh...I get exhausted just thinking about trying to explain it. Maybe some day I will.
There are other such things. Like how I got Einstein to zoom in and float back and forth. Things like that are just too exhausting for me to give detailed explanations of how to do it. I guess I'd better remember it, right?
Maybe I'll state the procedures into my dictation device and transcribe them. That sounds like the best way to go for I don't want to have to learn it all again if I forget it.

Wow! The subtle improvements I have made to this video
are amazing! Albert Einstein has become almost too real for comfort
I wonder now why I was suddenly inspired to create this video
There may be much more to it than can be believed;
even by me!

Okay, I was all ready to submit my first real tech support question the answer to which I was going to post on this thread. I was all geared up and then suddenly, without warning... I came across a CrazyTalk 7 Pro tutorial video...that answered my question! Fantastically awesome, people!!! Wow! You have quite a collection of fantastic tech support videos for CrazyTalk 7 I'm impressed and...I'm not easily impressed by anything It makes it easy to see why it is so much easier to explain things with a video rather than writing the instructions out

In this second, modified, version of the Lumberjack Aristocrat I feel my experimentation paid off with a version worthy of the classic British Monty Python comedy program.
I learned how to import my originally created sound effects, using my voice, and how to switch between auto motion animation and direct puppeteering of the character. It was quite a learning experience and I'm proud of what I accomplished.
I don't expect anyone else to like it, but I LIKE IT and that's good enough for me
Here is the original version for comparison:

MY FIRST MAJOR QUESTION TO TECH SUPPORT:
After buying CrazyTalk 7 Pro, because it was more intuitive than CrazyTalk Animator Pro, I suddenly realized that I cannot create moving animated bodies for my characters.
If you would have allowed people using your trial versions to use ALL YOUR ADVERTISED FUNCTIONS I might have found this out before I purchased Crazy Talk 7 Pro!
I would like you to make it clear to me:
Can I do most everything I can do with CrazyTalk 7 Pro in CrazyTalk Animator Pro?
What exactly are the differences? Because I suddenly feel I should have purchased CrazyTalk Animator instead as I would like the ability to create MULTIPLE CHARACTER moving animations as well as static body animations.

Hi Jarron, You keep mentioning all these features that don't work in the trial versions but have still not let us know which features you found missing. In an earlier post you mention that in one program that you couldn't remember there was something that didn't work. This doesn't really help us. Please be specific. Tell us which trial program you had problems with and the function or feature that wasn't working. Then we can advise you further. One important aspect of the trial versions is that most of them allow you to download bonus content after you install. These bonus packs are important if you want to try out all the content available. With regards to your question about CrazyTalk 7 Pro vs CrazyTalk Animator Pro. You can do almost everything that CT7 can do in CTA, however as CTA is an older product it doesn't have a couple of the new CT7 features such as Auto Motion and Reactive Auto-Motion. It is also important to remember that CrazyTalk Animator has a steeper learning curve that CrazyTalk 7 but the advantage is that it has a much larger collection of features. (all of which can be experienced in the trial version).

I'm testing the trial version of CrazyTalk Animator Pro again. What a pain in the neck! So many of the tools and features are hidden away. I have to jump through proverbial rings to find things like the facial fitting tools, teeth and whatnot. It's really draining trying to figure things out. Steeper learning curve indeed!
I'll list whatever features are not available as they come up.

One thing I can remember from the CrazyTalk 7 Pro trial version is it didn't let you save a project you were working on so that you could come back later and finish the project. I remember being able to save projects in Animator Pro.

Okay, I'm having a bear of a time trying to figure out how to change the project from STAGE MODE to the other modes so that I can adjust the facial parameters. Is there some quick way to remember how to do this?
I'm trying to make adjustments to the face and I got one of those messages. I'm going to share them each and every time they come up. The message says:
"The trial version does not allow face puppet profile loading"
These are the types of messages I was talking about!
I intend to share EVERY SINGLE ONE THAT POPS UP!!!
It makes things EXTRA FRUSTRATING when I'm trying to get things done and a message like that comes up!!!!!
