The moving image is a powerful thing, whether it's telling a story or selling a brand. And with the advent of animation software, what used to be a painstaking process is now easy and available to anyone. All that's needed is creativity. If you've got that end covered, may we suggest CrazyTalk Animator 3 Pro for Windows.

For aspiring 2D animators and seasoned pros alike, this suite is hard to beat. There are plenty of character templates to use or modify, and users can set them into motion right away with a vast library of motion frameworks. Fine tuning isn't much harder with CrazyTalk's bone rig editor, sprite layer controls and motion editing timeline. Of course, you're free to create your own characters from scratch, or you can import logos, drawings – even your own face. From there, you can tweak facial animations down to minute details, and make them speak with text-to-speech functionality and auto-lip syncing.

Right now, CrazyTalk Animator 3 Pro for Windows is discounted to $79, a full 55% off the MSRP.
