Do you consider adding ai text-to-speech？I'm currently using plotagon for animation, I found their built-in scene templates, then add characters, and add ai text-to-speech to each character at the same time, for me, a person who can't do animation at all, it's really too simple.So, in the next version, do you consider adding ai text-to-speech?

As a beginner, I think your editing track is too complicated. If you can consider a better experience, the effect will be better, such as a track layout similar to video editing software, which is divided into timeline, sound, props, etc. If you There is a better solution, that's better

Adding AI text to speech isn't in the immediate plans, however Cartoon Animator already allows you to import audio files to create automatic lip-sync. This means you can use one of the available AI services like Replica to create the voice audio and just import that.

With specialized companies already making steady improvements in AI text-to-speech, there is little point in RL devoting any development time to that effort.

And frankly, doing animation takes effort, if you want to make anything worth watching. If you want very simple there are some softwares aimed at creating animation for explainer videos.

There is a problem here. After I import an audio file, if there are multiple conversations in the entire audio file, how do we solve the problem of different characters' mouth shapes? And if we add an ai text-to-speech interface (of course, you can charge extra, you know that ai text-to-speech is very cheap now), when we do animation, if there are multiple characters in the whole scene, we only need to click on a certain character Is it more efficient to create animation by adding voice content?

In fact, what I want to suggest is: how to make animations more efficiently and add voices to animated characters, because when we do animation, there are multiple characters in the animation, and we need to dub each animated character, or between characters and characters Dialogue between, usually in this case, if we need to solve the dubbing problem, do we need to find the corresponding personnel to solve it? I think this is a difficult problem. If we use the text-to-speech function of ai, when we create multi-character dialogue dubbing, we only need to click on the corresponding character to add sound or add audio dialogue, so that we can create animation Will it be more efficient? The traditional method is that we first generate audio from the text, and then match the mouth shape. If there are multiple characters in a 10-minute animation, we need to generate another audio for each character. This efficiency It will be very slow. If we directly use the text-to-speech function of ai in the software, we only need to do the character dialogue scene when we are doing animation, and click to add the text-to-speech function of ai on the corresponding character, so that the efficiency will be more efficient. high

 But the cta official said that this is not in the scope of consideration. I am currently researching blender, which has many plug-ins, and I hope to solve the problem of dubbing efficiency. Because my daily job is to do youtube animations, my animations will have dialogue scenes with multiple people, how to efficiently dub different people is a problem

Although your video uses AI dubbing, it looks very stiff and the characters have no movement. I have used a simple plotagon to make animations. They add the dubbing of the character's dialogue. Just click on the character to add text and it will automatically become audio. , great, efficient way of adding dialogue audio

Note: I don't use CTA, but iClone, but the approach should be similar.

I don't really understand the problem. What I do is create an audio file for each character's dialog.

I do the timing in advance adding silence to moments where the character doesn't speak. I then apply the the timed dialogs to my characters and everything falls in the place.

I then add body animations as needed. But, as AutoDidact points out, there is no need for exaggerated motions.
