About

Create an avatar video from scratch using your own script and media.

Create a new project

1. Access Avatar Video Studio in one of the following ways:

• Select My Avatar Videos from the user menu.



• Select Avatar Video from the +Create menu.

This option only appears if the site uses the Theming header.



The 'New avatar video' window opens.



2. Select Start from scratch.



A blank draft project opens in the editor.

Key features of the editor

The editor is where you create, preview, and generate your avatar video project.

The editor includes:

• a scene panel for adding the script
• a scene timeline
• media controls for adding and managing source clips
• avatar and background customization options
• a preview window for generating and playing narration previews

Add scenes

1. In Scene 1, enter your script text.



2. Press 'enter' to create line breaks.
Changes are saved automatically.
3. Add more text by clicking Add scene at the bottom of the scene panel or on the scene timeline.



New scenes are added to the end of the existing scenes.



A blue indicator beside each scene reflects the approximate narration duration for the scene.

4. Repeat to continue adding scenes.

Duplicate a scene

Duplicate a scene to reuse its script and media when you build a similar scene.

Find the scene in the scene panel, click the three dots to the right, and select Duplicate scene.

A copy of the scene, including its script and any attached media, is added right after the original scene, and the scene numbers update automatically. The copy becomes the selected scene. Other scenes keep their content and relative order.

Delete a scene

Locate the scene, click the three dots to the right and select Delete scene.

Use the scene timeline

Use the scene timeline to navigate between scenes and review the structure of your video project.

From the timeline, you can:

• select scenes
• reorder scenes by dragging and dropping them
• preview scene order
• add new scenes

The selected scene is highlighted in the timeline and updates automatically while editing.

Reorder scenes

1. Hover over a scene in the timeline until the drag handle appears.
2. Click and drag the scene to a new position in the timeline.



As you drag, a placeholder shows where the scene will be placed when you drop it.

3. Release the scene to move it.

• If you drag the scene outside the timeline, the placeholder isn't displayed.
• If you release the scene outside the timeline, it returns to its original position.
• After the scene is moved, the scene numbers update automatically.

Add source clips

To add a video clip or a slide to a scene, select the scene and click Media on the upper right. For more information, see Edit source media (B-roll) in avatar videos.

Customize the avatar and background

Click Avatar on the upper right to change the avatar or the background for all scenes.

For more information, see Customize the avatar and background in avatar videos.

Preview a scene

Click on the scene you want to preview, then click the Preview scene in the preview window.

The preview includes:

• audio narration generated from the current script
• a still image of the selected avatar
• playback controls

Rename the project

1. At the top left of the editor, click the pencil icon to open the project name dialog.



2. Enter a new name.
3. Click Save.

Generate the final video

When the project is ready, click Generate at the top right.

Generating the final video can take several minutes depending on project length.

During generation the project displays a thumbnail in the 'My Avatar Videos' panel with a generating status.
