Hi There. I recently purchased Crazy Talk Animator Pro, as I felt it would grant me the most functionality in animating.

However I have been having one major problem. When I looked at the program the tutorials showed that it would automatically sync lip movement with imputed sound, but that you could then manually change it.
This manual change was in the form of selecting specific sounds (a e i o u sh fr, etc.) which you could put in at specific points so that those movements matched the exact sounds that the voice clip was making.
They appeared in the timeline editor in little bubble shapes(not keyframes, which are single points, but little bubbles which encompass a couple of frames).

When researching I found a few allusions to this function (although I could not find the original video I watched that I saw this in). Here they are:

On this page under:
Motion Clips - Instant Facial Performance Clips

and:
Timeline & Quick Keyframe Editing (PRO Only)



Also in this paragraph(I have underlined the most relevant point):

Auto Lip-sync from text & audio for Morph and Sprite animation
Import a WAV file or record your own voice by using the built-in audio capture function.
Enjoy a vast phoneme databank that automatically lip-syncs to your image.
Advancements in Text-to-Speech offer better quality for all end-users, and additional solutions for text-driven voice performances.
Audio support for both Morph-based and Sprite-based lip-syncing animation.



Please let me know how to achieve this.
Thanks!
