We’re excited to help you create your very own Still Avatar! To ensure it looks and performs its best, follow these friendly and simple guidelines when shooting your video footage. Our AI needs specific conditions to work its magic and generate an accurate avatar.


Uploading Guidelines

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.


Filming Tips

  1. Camera Quality: Use professional cameras for the best results. Mobile phones or webcams can also work.

  2. Environment: Choose a quiet space with good lighting.

  3. Video Length: Record at least one 2-minute long uninterrupted speech.

  4. Resolution: We recommend filming in 1080p for higher avatar quality. 4K at 60FPS is even better.

  5. Continuous Shot: Do not edit or cut the footage in the middle. It should be a continuous shot.

  6. Stability: Stand still and avoid sudden head motions or unnatural body movements. Be natural and calm. Your avatar will perform exactly as you do.

  7. Eye Contact: Maintain direct eye contact with the camera at all times. Avoid looking around or up and down during the recording.

  8. Hand Movements: Keep hand movements below chest level and avoid raising them above your chest.

  9. Pauses: Take pauses with your lips closed between sentences while maintaining eye contact with the camera. Start the video with a 2-3 second pause. Insert a 1-2 second pause between longer sentences.
