Generate videos with virtual avatars using written scripts in a few simple steps.
With Text to avatar (beta), you can generate a video featuring an avatar by providing a script for the avatar to speak, whether a simple sentence or a detailed paragraph. You can choose from various avatars, each with distinct appearances, voice styles, and accents. You can preview the video before generating it, edit the script, and customize the background to make sure the final output is engaging and visually appealing.
On the Text to avatar page, select Create new.
Tip
You can also choose from templates with pre-selected avatars and backgrounds. You have the option to edit these combinations later for more customization.
In the Scene settings section, use the Avatar accent dropdown menu to specify the accent.
Under Avatar, select an avatar from the listed ones. Select Browse more to view the complete list and preview the accent.
