Crazytalk animator software would be very costly to create an educational product. You would need to purchase backgrounds, characters and props. The marketplace has a very limited selection merchandise. Since I've started to participate in content development, I have only seen a few people developing props and characters for Crazytalk Animator. I have a couple suggestions for Reallusions. Hire a professional teacher to update all tutorials on YouTube. Improve customer support ( retraining of Taiwan support center) 3.

CrazyTalk Animator is a fully-featured animation tool designed for users to create professional marketing videos, animated avatars and comic effects for PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Doc and other presentation software. Choose the template titled 'Animated picture effects for PowerPoint slides,' and then click OK. Note: You may want to use only a few of the slides from the template in your presentation. To remove the other slides from your presentation, press and hold CTRL, click the slides that you don't want, and then press DELETE.

Incentives and rewards for customers and developer loyality 4. A free characters content G2 character content pack to encourage usage of the software. You can use your own pictures and drawings for backgrounds. Any drawing or image can be easily made into a prop. You don't have to buy every prop. Making a G2 (i.e.

Almost 3D) character from scratch can be very time consuming and tedious. If you use existing hands and face components then the process is a bit easier. Modify an existing characters clothes/body is easiest but still detailed. Living by the book outline. You can create a single view (i.e. Not multiple angle) character head from a photo if needed.

If you intend upon making your own props then a drawing package (DrawPlus, Flash, etc.) is needed. If you are using a lot of images then a photo editor (like PhotoPlus, Photoshop, etc.) would be helpful. An external movie editor (MoviePlus, Premiere, etc.) is also useful for combining scenes together. Typically you don't do a whole project in a single scene but do multiple scenes and combine them together in a video editor. CTA2 itself does not have the ability to have a button pushed to go to the next page.

That would have to be done in something like Flash. You would need the Pipeline version if you are serious about designing G2 characters.

The Pro version lets you import each sprite where Pipeline lets you import the whole character in one shot from a template. Jeff See my CTA Tutorials on the YouTube channel Check out for CTA. The easy way to change Render Styled (RS) colors. You will need to purchase Adobe flash and illustrator to create good quality props and background. You might also want to email Reallusion to request the character template for character development. I've been developing props and background for 3 months now. I still don't have a good understanding.

If you email support for information relating to learning the software. They will refer you to Youtube tutorials and the forum. The Youtube videos will give you basic information but you will need to be good at problem solving because the videos skip steps. I try to put up a couple of free props every week. You can find free and open source software for drawing online. My Youtube channel has information about free and open source resources. Thank you so much for both your replies, very much appreciated.

Just a couple more questions, I hope you dont mind. I feel like I am so close to getting what I need. The two characters I will be using in my stories repeatedly could be the same as Ted, except one needs to be green and the other mauve. The hair on one needs to be different (feminine), and the clothing/body could stay the same shape but need to change colour. Could I do this with just the purchase of CrazyTalk 2? Also, can I embed a scene into PowerPoint and can the characters be exported as gifs?

The only way to change Ted is to use sprite replacement using your own drawings.
