#What it is

An avatar is your face and your voice saved together. Make it once, then pick it in any video so a presenter that looks like you says your lines.

#Who can use it

Pro only. Video is part of the Pro plan. The backend checks your plan on every avatar step, including the photo check, so a Free account cannot make one. Avatars are your own: you must confirm the face and voice are yours, or that you have permission.

#Cost

Uses credits. You see the exact price before you confirm for the video. Making an avatar takes about a minute and uses credits for the AI work it does. A hold is taken first, so an empty balance is refused before anything starts. If a step fails, nothing is charged for it.

#Where to find it

Press the plus button in the video composer, Add files and advanced video settings. The Avatar section is at the top. Create avatar opens the Avatar and voice window.

#Options explained

Consent. The tick box says: "This is me (or I have their permission). I consent to my face and voice being used to make my videos, and my voice being cloned by our voice provider." You cannot save without it.

Selfie tips. Keep your face in the oval and turn slowly. If the camera cannot be reached, the window tells you, and you can upload photos or a video instead.

Saved avatars. Each card shows its picture and name, and says "Ready for videos", or "Generated presenter - ready for videos". If an avatar cannot be used yet, the card says why.

Models and avatars. Once an avatar is picked, the model list splits into Works with your avatar and Can't use your avatar. The best match shows a star and "Best for avatars". Some rows say "Face may change in long clips" and some show a green "Face + voice". If your model cannot use a real face, the app switches you to one that can and says so, with an Undo.

Which formats suit an avatar. avatar is a presenter speaking straight to the camera. ugc, testimonial and interview also use a visible person. The format note for avatar says it is a consented portrait with generated speech, not custom avatar training.

Lip sync. See Voice.

#Limits

You can add up to 6 photos for an avatar.
The selfie records for 6 seconds.

#Questions

#Is the avatar my face only, or my voice too?

Both. The first tab makes one avatar with your face and your voice together. The Avatars tab makes a face only, and you add a voice in the Voices tab.

#Can I use someone else's face?

Only with their permission. You must confirm this when you save, and the box says so.

#Are my photos kept?

The photos you upload are used to make a presenter face, and the photos themselves are not kept. The saved avatar is.

#Can I make several avatars?

Yes. Each has its own name, and you pick one per video.

#Does it look exactly like me?

The result can be a close likeness, but the app does not promise an exact match. If an avatar was made from a description and may not look like your photo, the window tells you and asks you to check the preview.

#Can I use an avatar in a video with no speech?

Yes. With an avatar picked and the lip sync switch off, the avatar appears and the model keeps its own sound.
