Hi Sara
CrazyTalk 8 allows you to create a single animated talking head per project. This can be a human character, an animal, or just about anything really. A project can be up to 15 minutes long but if you need longer you can just create more projects and then edit the videos all together after export.
So if you just want a character to read a story then CrazyTalk 8 will be ideal. However, if you want to tell a story featuring different characters, scenery, props etc. then you will likely find Cartoon Animator 4 will suit your needs more. CTA4 is like an all in one 2D animation studio where you can bring your stories to life. It features full bodied characters rather than just talking heads and allows them to be fully animated.
Please see the Cartoon Animator 4 product page below for more information.
