The highest resolution you can get away with would be better. (as nessesary) If you zoom into a video asset the pixelation becomes more apparent, so the more pixels you have in that asset, the more you can zoom in on it. If you dont plan to zoom in on it too much or if that vid is part of the background you can provably get away with lower resolution videos.

Ok. thank you Peter

A size of 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 will normally be sufficient but you can go higher if you wish.

Ok Peter, problem solved.
Please one more question, which is the recommended frame size for export to iClone PopVideo with the highest quality.
Thank you

Hi Peter
If I have understood correctly, I have re.download Currently release version: v2.12.1811, Size 495 MB (2014/05/13 Update) and then install v2.12 patch (58.3 MB, 2014/06/12)?
Thank you for your help.

Hi..

popVideos are only a feature of the Windows PC version of CTA2. If you are using a Mac then none of the above will be applicable.

If you are using the Windows version then you should have two icons placed on your Desktop and in your Start menu when you install the latest full version of CTA2. Please see below for how this should look.

If you are only installing the 2.0 release and then patching to 2.12 then this could be the problem. Please try uninstalling and then downloading the latest full version (2.12) and then perform a clean install. You should then have both versions available.

Thanks for your reply Peter.
I have only one version, 32bit or 64bit? . I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have no option to choose 32bit or 64bit version of CrazyTalk Animator v2.12 Pipeline. What am I doing wrong?

Using the 32bit version of CTA2, just export your animated character without any background to popVideo format.

Then once exported, right click and drag the popVideo into your iClone Preview Window. You will then be prompted on how you wish to use it. Just select Plane or Billboard (always facing camera) and you will get a result as shown  below.

Of course you can also export with backgrounds if transparency is not required.

What is the best way to export from CTA2 PopVideo to iClone?

Unfortunately popVideos have never been supported in the 64bit versions of iClone5 and now also CTA2.
