Talking avatar
A photo of you or a generated person says your text, filmed like on a phone, lips synced. The field is called “What you write”, with two choices:- “My script”: said word for word.
- “An idea”: the AI writes the text, the way people talk to camera.
The form that works
“My script” mode:Before / after

Avatar settings
- Limit: 1,200 characters. The length is deduced from the text (about 2 words per second, between 10 s and 4 minutes). In idea mode, you choose the length.
- Photo: optional. A sharp, front facing, well lit face is used as is. Without a photo, a person is generated; “Consistent character” keeps their face the same from one shot to the next.
- Voice: “Automatic” creates the voice at the first shot and keeps it afterward. Pick a voice to impose it.
- Avatar model and Resolution: they set the quality of the render and the price per second.
- Subtitles: on by default. Music: off by default.
- A speaking shot lasts 15 s at most: a long text is cut into several shots.
AI podcast
A two voice dialogue, one host per shot, full screen or split screen: the editing alternates between full screen on the one speaking and a vertical split screen, one host on top, the other at the bottom, where the listener reacts.The form that works
Start each line with the host’s name in square brackets, like[Alex]. Two hosts at most.

Podcast settings
- Host photos (optional): one photo per host, named as in the dialogue. Without a photo, the host is generated; “Consistent hosts” keeps their face the same from one shot to the next.
- Limit: 1,200 characters, default length 30 s. Subtitles on, music off.
- Each host has a single image and a single voice, reused on all their lines.
Common mistakes
- Avatar: a text written to be read: long sentences sound fake. Cut and talk.
- Avatar: a group photo or a profile shot: give a sharp, front facing face.
- Podcast: three hosts or more: two at most.
- Podcast: a different name on each line: keep exactly the same names: they are used to recognize each host and their photos.
- Going over 1,200 characters: the field stops. Shorten, or make several videos.
