Applying Auto Motion Template from the Library
CrazyTalk introduces a major feature - Auto Motions, which are the biggest breakthrough in generating animations from your own voice strength; with all sorts of animation styles, you can save a lot of time while increasing the realism of your actor's motions. Auto Motions are basically motion patterns that react to the voice. Once you apply an audio file, CrazyTalk then utilizes two basic motion patterns for Talk and Listen modes. You may also change to another pattern by applying different templates from the library.
Applying Auto Motion Templates from the Library

- Double-click on the desired template to change the motion pattern.
Choosing an Ideal Auto Motion Template
In the Content Manager, there are two libraries that contain Auto Motion templates, 01_Functional and 02_Scenario.
- Functional Library: The templates in this folder trigger the actor to do basic movements for head, body or eyeballs without facial expressions.
- Scenario Library: The templates in this folder apply not only to the movements of
the head, body and eyes, but also add personality, usually with facial expressions, to the actor
which is suitable for specific situations or animation styles;
such as thinking in a study, being scared in a haunted house,
or singing a song on a stage.
