Shape what’s next: How could Nova better support your work?
BelleHabs Katie-Jordan I’m right there with you. 💙 I pay for my own subscription, so when my credits ran out, I made the call not to buy more for videos. It’s a bummer, because I really do love the AI Avatar feature.
I’d love to see a reduced credit rate for nonprofits and individual members too. The people building and sharing the most in this community often have the smallest budgets.
In the meantime, here’s how I’m stretching things:
🖼️ Stills plus AI audio: I use still images of my avatar character, pair them with AI audio, and let the words type out on screen. It keeps the personality without draining the credit balance.
🎬 Synthesia’s basic plan: gives you about 500 credits a month free (10 mins of video). Not a lot, but it’s something!
🎥 Camtasia’s Audiate AI Avatar: if you already have Audiate AI, it’s another option worth trying.
Thanks for speaking up on this. Hopefully Articulate is listening. 🤞
Some other avenues I've used to create short "AI avatar" video clips (since my Articulate credits are spent).
Adobe Firefly (which gives you access to various video-generation models and based on your model and settings, shows you how much you'll burn in credits to generate the clip).
CanvaAI (my credits/tokens burn quickly here too).
But, neither of these tools are as focused as NOVA's AI Avatar generations (meaning, built for eLearning). So for me, they are a last resort. Plus, these tools are not L&D licenses. The licenses belong to our marcom team; we just piggyback.
