Add an avatar (Studio)

An avatar is an AI presenter who speaks the narration to camera — great for a personal intro or sign-off. Add avatar scenes to the timeline and configure each one.

Before you start

• Open a video in the Video Editor.
• Have an avatar available (yours or a shared one) — see Avatar pricing for how avatar scenes are billed.

Add an avatar scene

Open the Avatars tool (top of the left rail), then pick one.

• Public / My Avatars — choose a shared presenter or one of your own.
• Select an avatar, then + Add Avatar Scene to drop it on the timeline.

Give it a line to say

Switch to the Voice tab (or select the avatar and open Generate speech) to write what it says.

• Duration, Tone, and Topic (e.g. Kitchen, or a Custom prompt) guide what’s written.
• Press Generate, review the text, then Insert. You can edit it afterwards in Scene Text.

Adjust the avatar on screen

Select the avatar on the canvas to open its Properties.

• Scene Text + Voice — the line and the voice that reads it (see Voices); Speed adjusts pace.

• Frame Shape — Normal, Circle, Square, or Full.
• Transparent background — cut the avatar out so the scene behind shows through.
• Frame Border — colour and width; Timing shows the clip’s position and duration.

Tip

For portrait (9:16) videos, keep the avatar’s face framed as the shot crops to vertical — pick a Circle/Square frame or reposition on the canvas.

Next steps

• Frame shapes & centering — Circle/Square/Full framing, borders, and face-centering.
• Positioning & layering — put the avatar in a corner (PiP) or over a background.
• Images — add photo and parallax scenes.
• General settings — transitions, text, audio and saving.
