I haven't tried "Crazy Talk" or "Sony Vegas", but I do know that lip syncing is very hard with "After Effects" because you can't scrub back and forth and hear the audio, and thus position say... the T sound exactly.
But you can do that in "AdobePremierePro", and that's what I use.
Trouble is I know it's not that cheap. If you can prove you're a student you can get an edu discount. A pretty good one too.
You can scrub through the timeline and hear the sound in "UleadVideoStudio", but I find that the video goes red and you can't see much. This makes it hard to sync stuff.
However, it is just possible.
Also "UleadVideoStudio" allows you to add more than one track of audio - there's tracks for voice and for music, so you have 2. I can't discover if it's possible to add more than that, but I guess a way around that is to export the movie then re-import it - when it would have 2 newly free audio tracks you could then add audio to the empty tracks, export, import etc etc etc...
And happily when you import the previously made video, it imports with the audio stuck to the video and not in a separate track, so you still have a new empty Music and a new empty Voice track to use, so you can gradually build up the audio to have whatever you want, you just have to do it in stages.
Oh, the red effect is probably just something to do with my having WinXP Media Centre edition, as I foolishly thought it was better than XP pro, and it isn't - it's caused a load of problems, so no doubt, this is another one.
