Hello, how are you all going? :-) This probelm has got me beat, and now I'm so exhaused, I've hit the chocolate biscuits :-)  I have a question about the audio I made for a project. I made a talking bear using crazytalk 6, and then I did the script by pressing the red record button on the crazytalk script page and talking into a microphone that is plugged into my computer. I made the script all in one shot, it is 6 minutes of me talking. But I want to cut out just one sentence in that 6 minutes of me talking, and replace it with another sentence. How would I edit the audio? I can put the audio into a program called audacity (an audio editor)that I have that edits sound, and then I can fix it how I want it and put it back in crazy talk, but I want to put it back in the same project, so I can keep all the emotions I have already made for the bear in the timeline, as I took ages to put all these great emotions in that timeline, to make him a very emotional bear, and I know I wont be able to do the emotions exactly the same how I have them now, as I did the emotions bit by bit and it took me ages. Thanks heaps for your time, I do appreciate it a lot :-)

Hi Christina,

I'm afraid that there is no vocal audio editing available in CT6. If you remove the audio you remove all the appropriate lip-syncing and other facial animations that have been added.

As you mentioned, you can edit the vocals in an audio editor like Audacity but it is important to be sure it is correct before building the facial animation and effects.

Sorry I couldn't offer better news.

If you are using an external video editor like Premiere or Vegas, you could just make two different clips and then fade them in and out of each other within the video editing software.
