csp-15200 – Audio/Video Sync
csp-15205 – Lipsync 3d characters Randy’s Tips – very good
csp-15210- 3d DAZ Import to CSP
csp-15300 2d character lipsync
— Example lip-sync oh yeah

========================================

The CSP editing is limited, but very effective. Other than the ability to position clips and move them around, the only real editing feature is the ability to cut clips.
Perquisites:
– understand how to import Files
– Understand the timeline
– Create a Test Video
Also see lip-sync


However, it is extremely easy to use and very powerful. I use it for almost all of my editing and video creation.

  1. Import tlhe test video created previously
    or use your own file.

2. Drag the test video from the folder on to the canvas, Not
to the timeline.
— Position and scale the video to fit the area you want it to be in.
You can clip the video if necessary.
Once in place play it back to verify it is ok.

Duplicate the video for use as the audio track.
– rename the audio track ‘audio’

Cut the video into A B C parts and make parts equal lenght

cut the audio video into sound for A B C.
Match sound to video

A word of warning. Make sure you know what version of CSP, or any other program, you are working on. Make sure that the video you are watching matches that version. It is very easy to spend a lot of time following a video, only to find out that it does not work on the version you are using.

csp- What is in it

csp-0020 – CSP -What is CreateStudio Pro?
– also see MyIndex and How to Find It

It is not a 3d editor. It is strictly a 2d editor that lets you manipulate videos of 3d characters to simulate 3d actions.

If you are looking to use for CSP purely as a way to quickly and easily put together videos from templates and assets then you will eventually need the full package. However, if you are willing to spend some time and get into the tools that are part of the basic package you can create your own assets. The basic package is more than worth the price. It will allow you to quickly create great videos.
I use it several hours a day to test ideas and concepts. I can quickly and easily put together a video concept before spending the hours necessary in other programs to finalize the concept.  
If you are new to video animation, then it is a cheap way to see if it is something you want to get involved in.
