When creating your Still avatar, we offer two options to record your footage:
Upload a Google Drive or local video file
Record with your computer's webcam
Please keep in mind that uploading your footage from a higher quality camera is the better option to create a higher quality avatar.
๐ฌ Filming Tips
Camera Quality: Use professional cameras for the best results. Mobile phones or webcams can also work.
Environment: Choose a quiet space with good lighting.
Video Length: Record at least one 2-minute long uninterrupted speech.
Resolution: We recommend filming in 1080p for higher avatar quality. 4K at 60FPS is even better.
Continuous Shot: Do not edit or cut the footage in the middle. It should be a continuous shot.
Stability: Stand still and avoid sudden head motions or unnatural body movements. Be natural and calm. Your avatar will perform exactly as you do.
Eye Contact: Maintain direct eye contact with the camera at all times. Avoid looking around or up and down during the recording.
Hand Movements: Keep hand movements below chest level and avoid raising them above your chest.
Pauses: Take pauses with lips closed between sentences and look at the camera.
2-3 second pause at the start of the video.
1-2 second pause in the middle between long sentences.
