Hello. I am looking to create some sort of video that I can include members of a family in a funny video. Does this exist? Thanks so much!

I would use CrazyTalk Animator 2. You can take a picture and do most anything with it.
Check out some of the Reallusion CTA2 tutorials and you will see what can be done.

Get my Plugin Manager and TaskNotes plugins for iClone.

hah,  first time i hear the name,  i know it as the monty python style!

How I would do it is,  anything you want doing the jibjab movement,  you'd have to animate as a prop - the cta human tends to emulate human / round lip movements so you can't use those tools,  you'd have to move the jaw up and down manually for talking....the new scrub feature will help alot...tedious,  but not hard..

Like in the below video,   they cut the mouth / jaw into a rectangular shape -  think old school since they use to do this with stop motion and paper cut outs!
Then for the parts you want to make more human,  you use a rigged body so you can use the basic animation systems.    Not hard,  but tedious,  so this would be an intermediate skill level project.  -  you'd have to learn about rigging and linking,  - like body and head can be rigged,   but mouth attached as a prop.

I made this to give you a better idea of what i mean....this is what your jib jab rig should look like - you rig the middle part of face so you have automated eye movement and head turns.   You attach the jibjabbed cut out props to the head - so they always stay aligned -  then you animate it moving up and down for speech.
