Have noticed a few others having issues with slow eye blinking in Crazy Talk 5 Pro.

Don't think I have seen a solution – hope this provides some extra data.

As with the others, when recording the animation, the eyes blink at the correct speed. When playing it back, it looks like the character is having trouble staying awake, with a very slow eye blink. The effect is funny, but not what I am looking for. The slow blink remains, regardless of output file format.

Here are some specifics on the project itself:

** Animated from a still photo
** Animated in layers / passes, not all at once
** Eye blinks animated separately, using solo feature selection in the Puppeteering Panel.

It seems the problem comes from layering the eye blinks along with other facial animation passes. And somewhere in the mixing process (blending the eye blink keyframes in) there is a problem. Almost like some of the blink keyframes drop out.

Creating the slower eye blink.

If I just have eye blinks along with the lip sync, it works fine.

But once I add in head rotation and raised eyebrows and other facial animation, the blink problem returns. It doesn't matter if I add the eye blinks first or last.

Hope this is helpful in figuring this out.
