AI Avatar videos now generate up to 10× faster, with cleaner shots, steadier characters, and more natural voiceovers.
This update started with you. As one member put it:
Speed was the biggest ask, so we made it a priority. You also told us you want more consistent video quality and presenters who sound more natural on screen, and this update addresses those, too. The new experience is live now!
Here are a few examples of scenes you could create within the new AI Avatars experience.
Each shows how a clear script, a fitting character, and a few well-placed audio tags can bring a course moment to life.
Get from idea to video faster
AI Avatars are great for welcoming learners, introducing a new topic, bringing a scenario to life, or reinforcing a key takeaway. But waiting on video generation can interrupt your flow. With the new generation experience, you can create avatar videos up to 10 times faster.
Create cleaner, steadier shots
Ever had a character look slightly different from one clip to the next? The updated experience delivers cleaner shots and steadier characters, so your videos feel more natural and cinematic.
That consistency matters whether you’re using a presenter to introduce a lesson, a manager addressing their team, or a recurring guide who appears throughout a course. When the visuals hold steady, learners can focus on the message.
Bring more expression to every script
We’ve also updated voice generation. The new voice model creates more natural-sounding speech, so your presenter can feel more expressive and believable on screen.
It’s a meaningful improvement for the moments that need a little more personality: a warm welcome, a thoughtful reflection, an urgent safety reminder, or a confident call to action.
💡Tip: The new voice model also supports audio tags, giving you more control over how your avatar delivers a script. Add cues for emotion, emphasis, pacing, and even sound effects to create a performance that fits the moment.
