The Artlist AI Toolkit enables you to create AI-powered avatar videos. You can generate realistic talking avatars from images, synchronize speech with facial movement, and localize videos into multiple languages while preserving natural timing and expression.
This guide explains how to use the three main workflows:
- Avatar video generation
- Lip-sync animation
- Video dubbing and translation
How to create an avatar video
An avatar is a digitally generated on-screen presenter or character that can speak, move, and interact like a real person in a video. Our Avatar models allow you to generate a realistic talking avatar from a single image and audio file.
Avatars are ideal for:
- Presenter videos
- Marketing content
- Explainer videos
- Training materials
- Social media content
- Product introductions
Select an Avatar AI model
- From the top panel on the Homepage click AI Toolkit.
- Click Video from the dropdown menu on the bottom of the prompt field.
- Select the desired Avatar model.
Note: Avatar models are currently not available with the AI Agent.
