How To Create Cartoon Videos With CrazyTalk Animator
Cartoons can be a very effective and unique approach to web video, particularly for people who are camera shy. But how do you create a cartoon video if you can’t even draw?
You could go the “web route” with sites like Xtranormal or GoAnimate. But if you want total control over your video creation (and don’t want your cartoon videos to look like everyone else’s) a tool at the top of your list should be CrazyTalk Animator.
CrazyTalk is a desktop application (for Windows only) that allows you to quickly create cartoon videos without any experience required…while also giving more seasoned artists the ability to fine-tune a huge array of options. And on top of that, you can take photos from your camera or any images on your computer and turn those into cartoon objects as well.
Once you’ve got your cartoon ready, CrazyTalk allows you to export it as an AVI or WMV file for use in a video editing app…or…you can export it directly for the web.
Something extra to note. Creating great looking cartoons in CrazyTalk Animator is dead-simple. But if you poke around their web site you’ll see some amazing demo videos. Don’t expect to create videos like these with just a few clicks…it takes practice and experience before you can achieve results like those. Got it? OK.












Animator is a really cool program. You should have seen my daughter’s reaction when I animated a picture of her cat.
Hi Dave…does Crazy Talk Animator allow you to create and animate stick figures? I’ve been looking for just such a program?
thanks,
Ken
Look for a program called “Pivot” Stick Figure Animator…
I love it! I think humor is a great aspect to any website and this has the potential to incorporate loads of it. Great video Dave.
What a great program – is definitely MORE fun to present my users such a video
Hello Dave… I enjoyed the video of the week, seeing you doing the chicken dance on a saturday morning was definately something different…. but funny lol!
As always, wonderful information!!! Already looking forward to your next newsletter!
Dave, thanks for the heads up.
You recommend Crazy Talk 2D over the iClone 3D. Is that because of: longer learning curve? Longer upload time? format availability / restricted conversion options? higher costs?
walk before you try running? etc.?
Whatever your reason(s), I appreciate that you are a treasure trove of tips, ideas and resources.
Thanks I have been looking for a software to create cartoons easily.
I have the Crazy Talk Animator Pro. It says it is a single user. Does that mean I can’t have it on 2 computers?
@Kathy – You need to contact them or check their license agreement…sorry.
