AI Avatar

Gan.AI’s AI Avatars let you produce realistic, on-camera presenters using just a script. Customize avatars, edit scenes, add elements, change backgrounds, and render high-quality videos effortlessly.

What exactly is an AI Avatar?

An AI Avatar is a lifelike digital version of a real person that can speak, move, and express emotions using artificial intelligence. It reads your text or script aloud with realistic lip-sync and gestures — creating human-like videos without the need for cameras or live recording.

Save Button:

Located toward the top-right, beside “Generate.” Save ensures your edits are stored before rendering.

Scene & Script Editor (Right Panel) This section lets you write or edit the dialogue your avatar will speak. You can add new scenes, insert pauses, or preview audio. The editor supports multi-scene AI video creation where each scene has a separate script, making it ideal for longer or segmented video projects. By clicking on Preview Audio, one can hear the input script and its tone quality. If not satisfied, one can regenerate the audio. Type your message or narration in this box. The AI avatar uses this text to generate natural speech once rendered. You can personalize scripts using dynamic placeholders such as @name or @company for creating individualized videos at scale.

Use ‘Insert Pause’ to add natural breaks within your avatar’s speech, improving flow and realism. Click ‘Preview Audio’ to hear how the AI voice reads your text, allowing you to fine-tune tone, pronunciation, and pacing before rendering the complete video.

New Scene (+) Button

Found at the top of the script panel, this button adds a new scene. Each scene represents a separate segment of your video and can include different avatars, backgrounds, or messages. This is helpful when building structured training, storytelling, or multi-part promotional content.

Video Preview Window

This is the main preview area where you can view your avatar’s setup, background, and subtitles. The avatar remains static in preview mode to improve performance. Movement and lip-syncing appear only in the final rendered video. Use this space to confirm visual alignment and branding.

Edit Bar

If you click on the avatar, an editing toolbar will appear at the top. From there, you can customize and edit your avatar settings.

Replace Avatar Option

This button lets you change the avatar model. You can choose between custom avatars (created from real people) or stock avatars. It’s useful for testing different looks or tones that best match your message or campaign requirements.

Layer option

Use the layer menu to change the order of elements by moving them forward, backward, to the front, or to the back.

Animation

Add Elements Button

The Add Elements option in Gan.AI lets you enhance your video by adding visual and audio components directly to the scene. Located below the preview window, it allows you to insert text, shapes, logos, images, and background music to make videos more engaging and branded. Use it to highlight key messages or include brand assets. Keep elements balanced so your avatar remains the main focus, ensuring a clean, professional, and visually appealing final video.

Change Background Button

This option allows you to switch your video background. You can use a plain color, an uploaded image, or even a video background. Matching your brand’s theme helps maintain consistency across campaigns and creates a polished, studio-quality presentation.

Subtitle Toggle (Bottom Bar) Enables or disables subtitles for your video. Subtitles are essential for accessibility and better viewer engagement, especially in multilingual or sound-off environments. Keep them on to make your message more inclusive and easy to follow.

Watermark Toggle (Bottom Bar)

Let's you turn your brand watermark on or off. Watermarks protect your video from misuse and reinforce brand identity.

Timeline Bar (Bottom Section)

Displays the video’s duration and playback timeline. You can play, pause, or scrub through your video preview to review timing and flow. It’s useful for adjusting scene length, verifying transitions, and ensuring speech aligns smoothly with visuals.

Generate Button

The Generate button is the final step in the Gan.AI Avatar creation process. When clicked, it starts rendering your video — converting the typed script into speech, syncing it with your selected avatar’s lip movements, expressions, background, and visuals.

Once complete, the rendered video appears in your My Videos section for preview and download.
