Friends, I have started my journey using Crazy Talk animator and I have just one Aim To become an Explainer Video Professional. This question may not be completely generic because of some of my limitation & only SPECIFIC TO EXPLAINER VIDEO CREATION POINT OF VIEW Few caracteristics i noticed: 1. These videos are sort and typically dont have too much animation because we may distract from topic or message 2. They I believe use some other tools as well along with animation tool for various designs . . Creating custom graphics and prop motions I am a completely new bie I dont have any clue what the other tools I need to learn to reach to their level is 1-3 years of reasonable time frame. Now I know Adobe after effects, Adobe photosop and Premere -But I somewhere feel that specific to explainer need we may not need so advanced tool & Big problem I cant afford the price and recurrin cost . . Can some of my friends suggest me what other tools that are as good but no recurrin cost I need to learn with cta2 Explainer video sites : https://www.wyzowl.com/http://www.whiteboardanimation.com/video/topic/motion-graphichttp://explainify.com/

It usually takes more than one tool to make a video. You can spend lots of money or not so much. There are always free or cheaper alternatives to most of the various tools needed. For creating props: Instead of Adobe Flash and Photoshop, you can use the lower cost DrawPlus. For image editing: Instead of Photoshop, you can use the lower cost PhotoPlus (or other similar photo editors). For sound: instead of Adobe Audition you can use the free Audacity. For video editing: There are several low cost and free choices out there. For effects: Consider using HitFilm which would also be your video editor. Jeff

Thanks for your kind suggestion . .Again my query is only to meet 2d explainer videos. I did a homework research on how the 2d animations -explainer videos are made on Sites : 1. http://explainify.com/2. http://www.switchvideo.com/resources/the-best-explainer-videos/3. http://demoduck.com/4.wyzowl Question : 1. I still feel that may abstract concepts or animation of the props itself - would not be able to handle in CTA2 . . We need some other animation tool as well . . Thats what My assumption is. 2. would you mind just go through the link and share your expertice what I need to learn to reach that level - without the adobe route 3.Should I need to consider Anime Studio to compliment. . I don't need a quick fix.I am ready to travel this path . I want to grow into a career in Explainer video field . . Kindly assist me with your kind suggestion . . Regards, Dhrub

The examples from the links run the whole range from 2D to 3D, from animated to actual video, from simple effects to complex effects. Sticking just to 2D and to duplicate some of those types yes, you would probably need other tools (like Anime Studio). But, CTA3 is coming and from what has been previewed it should do most all of what you want. You still need drawing, photo, sound, and video editing tools as well as the animation tools. It can be done without using Adobe products which is just a matter of finding the tools that you like and ones that give you the best/fastest workflow to complete your projects. Jeff

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and giving me the belief that there is an alternative for adobe products. . because Every form I read and asked they end up stating . . . " Adobe after effects and Premiere Pro " and these are real costly tools for an small individual person.
Also Can you please tell when approximately CTA3 is coming up and if you don't mind what new different features we can expect. .if that is confidential no issues.
Regards, Dhrub

Hey Thats cool . .
Yeah pretty much that's what I wanted . .I don't have any requirement to make full cartoon using 2d . But yes I need enough flexibility to move or do an action with anything I want . . Looks like upgrade 3 has it all -specifically for 2d explainer-thats my focus area !
Thanks for your valuable suggestion !
