Sharing some great feedback! I was able to create a customized AI avatar, and overall it worked really well. I really like that the avatar can be customized to feel more natural and relatable instead of looking like a generic presenter.

One thing I noticed is that the avatar seemed to work especially well when framed a little farther back, more like a natural webcam or desk setup. When the character is too close to the camera, small visual issues or anything that looks slightly off can be more noticeable. With the avatar a little farther back, the overall result feels more realistic, and any minor imperfections are much less distracting.

It may also be helpful to provide users with a few strong prompt examples for character customization, especially prompts that work well with how the video generation functions best. For example, guidance on framing, camera angle, lighting, room setup, hand gestures, and how visible things are would be really helpful.

Either way, I’m really excited about this feature. I can definitely see AI avatars being a great tool!  I love what I am seeing!
