Hi all,
I have CrazyTalk 8. This weekend was the first time I've tried using it. I wanted to do a 2D actor talking head synced to a 4 minute song. I created a 2D actor from a picture. Then, I followed the lip syncing tutorial and ended up with the song as the background music and my voice-over controlling the lip syncs. I was disappointed with the performance. I could not properly modify the lip syncs because each time I hit play there was a delay with the actual animation preview. Basically, I hear the audio going, but the screen is frozen and delayed for a few seconds. It made figuring out where the vocals aligned with the actual frame difficult.
I'm not sure if there are any tips to optimize the performance, but I wanted to get a check whether my system specs are sufficient to be able to do a real time preview without any delays.
I currently have the following:
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Home

Are these specs sufficient?
If they are, how do I improve the performance of CrazyTalk 8, so I can replay the animation, background music, and voice-over smoothly during preview?
If these specs are not sufficient, would getting a different video card such as an Nvidia Quadro K2200 help?
Thanks!
