Anybody can animate with CrazyTalk Animator 3 Pro for Mac and Windows, now over 50% off

The bar of entry to animation is still pretty high. Even if you’re only dabbling in generating your own animated sequences for a business presentation or a short social media clip, just that basic learning curve is steep enough to send many packing quickly.

CrazyTalk Animation 3 Pro for Mac and Windows thrives on a reputation for ease of use, allowing even virtual beginner animators to produce basic sequences with the least amount of effort. Mac users can test out this nimble, yet powerful app at a $100 savings with this limited time TNW Deals offer at just $79.

If you want to animate a character for a presentation or a game or even a silly YouTube video, Animator 3 can get you there, even if you have no drawing or artistic ability. A simple interface and intuitive drag-and-drop motions allow you to move a PNG image on to a digitally-created set of “bones” to have a moving, customizable character ready to roll within minutes.

Choose your character template, sort through the Animator 3 character motion library to find the movement you want, add in some facial and lip-syncing basics and your animation is underway.

Add on built-in features like pre-animated motion files, automatic lip syncing, sprite deformation, and real-time facial puppeteering and you can shave loads of time off virtually any project you’re looking to create.

And once you’re finished, CrazyTalk Animator 3 files can also be easily exported in layers for any re-editing, compositing or post-production project you want to liven up with your animation.

Feel like an animator (even if you’re not) with Crazy Animator 3, a $179 package now more than 50 percent off at only $79 for Mac and Windows.
