Use a Character Model

Use a character model


You can easily apply a pre-trained character model to any scene in your video to match your voiceover, screenplay, or style.




A Character Model is a trained AI actor that captures the unique facial features, expressions, and gestures of a specific person. Once trained, these models can be applied to animate AI-generated scenes with accurate lip sync and emotion.


🎬 Where to Use It


You can use a Character Model in:


  • Talking-head videos
  • Video ads with face sync
  • Explainers & narrations
  • Personalised messages
  • Audiobook avatars
  • Music videos


🚀 How to Apply a Character Model


Once you’re in the video creation wizard:


  1. Click on the “Character” button.
  2. Pick from your own trained models under My Models or use a Platform Model.
  3. Click “Apply” to add the model.
  4. Generate the video to preview the output — your character will lip-sync to the audio track and animate expressively.


Tip: Want better results? Use close-up framing and avoid wide full-body shots.


🔁 Switching Models


You can switch models for any individual scene by:


  • Clicking on the scene thumbnail
  • Choosing a different character model


This gives you flexibility to use different faces for different speakers.


🧠 Platform vs. My Models


  • My Models: Models trained by you using your own image \+ captions.
  • Platform Models: Pretrained characters available for instant use.


Platform Models are great for testing; My Models are ideal for personalised storytelling.


🛠️ Troubleshooting


  • Not seeing any model? Ensure you’ve uploaded or trained at least one.
  • Sync seems off? Re-upload or re-generate audio with clearer speech or check your scene timing.
