Add the finished avatar to a project through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visla.us\/ai-video-agent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI Video Agent<\/a>, then choose its layout and model. After Visla generates the draft, refine the avatar in the Scene-Based Editor and sync any changed scenes before exporting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which type of AI avatar should you create?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by deciding whether your video needs a recognizable person or a presenter created specifically for the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Avatar type<\/th><th>Best for<\/th><th>Main advantage<\/th><th>Rights and permission considerations<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Public avatar<\/td><td>Quick projects, general training, and early drafts<\/td><td>Ready to use immediately<\/td><td>No employee or spokesperson likeness to manage<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Prompt-generated avatar<\/td><td>Recurring branded content and video series<\/td><td>Creates a reusable fictional presenter<\/td><td>Don\u2019t prompt it to imitate a recognizable person<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Photo-based avatar<\/td><td>Known leaders, instructors, and subject-matter experts<\/td><td>Preserves a familiar identity<\/td><td>Requires explicit permission and clear usage rules<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use a public avatar for speed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Public avatars work well when you need a presenter quickly and the video doesn\u2019t depend on a specific identity. They\u2019re a practical choice for general training, customer education, one-off explainers, and early drafts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the presenter isn\u2019t based on your employee, executive, or spokesperson, you don\u2019t have to manage that person\u2019s permission or decide what happens to the avatar if their role changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Generate a fictional presenter for a recurring role<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A custom avatar generated from a prompt gives your company a reusable presenter without tying the character to a real employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The role should guide the design. A product educator might have a friendly voice and business-casual clothing. A compliance presenter may need a more restrained tone and formal appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A friendly product educator in her early 30s, wearing a navy business-casual blouse, with shoulder-length dark hair and a calm expression.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>If the avatar will appear across a series, keep its face, voice, clothing style, and role reasonably stable. A recurring presenter can become a recognizable visual cue for that type of content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This follows broader guidance on distinctive brand assets. An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipsos.com\/en-us\/knowledge\/media-brand-communication\/power-you-why-distinctive-brand-assets-are-driving-force-creative-effectiveness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ipsos analysis of more than 2,000 pieces of video creative<\/a> found that brand-owned assets, including characters, were more closely associated with branded attention than assets borrowed from wider culture, such as celebrities or popular music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean any avatar will automatically become recognizable. Repeated, consistent use gives viewers a better chance to connect the presenter with a particular series, topic, or company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t deliberately prompt a fictional avatar to resemble a celebrity, employee, or other recognizable person without permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create an avatar from a real person when identity matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A photo-based avatar makes more sense when viewers already know the presenter. A founder might use one for routine product updates. An instructor could use one to update course material without recording every revision. A salesperson might use one for repeatable introductions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get explicit permission before using someone else\u2019s photo or voice. Permission should cover where the avatar may appear, what kinds of messages it may deliver, and who can approve its scripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A person who agrees today may not want their digital likeness used indefinitely or in every campaign.

The new outfit stays attached to the original avatar and doesn\u2019t count as another custom avatar. You can choose the variation you want when starting a project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can change clothing and accessories, but you can\u2019t replace the avatar\u2019s underlying facial features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to add an AI avatar to a video in Visla<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Start a video<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Select <strong>Create Video<\/strong> and give the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visla.us\/ai-video-agent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visla AI Video Agent<\/a> your starting material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can begin with an idea, script, webpage, document, presentation, audio, images, or existing footage. The Agent builds a draft with scenes, voiceover, subtitles, footage, and music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Turn on the avatar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the video setup screen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select <strong>Avatar<\/strong> in the left sidebar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn on <strong>Use avatar<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose a presenter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You can browse <strong>Public Avatars<\/strong>, <strong>Custom Avatars<\/strong>, and <strong>Starred Avatars<\/strong>. Starred Avatars are saved favorites, not a separate avatar type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Choose an avatar layout<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Select one of three options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AI Dynamic Layout<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Agent decides which scenes use a full-screen avatar, which use an avatar over b-roll, and which don\u2019t need an avatar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Avatar Full Screen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presenter becomes the primary visual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Avatar Over B-Roll<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presenter appears over supporting footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI Dynamic Layout is the best starting point for most training and explainer videos. It lets the presenter introduce or connect ideas while footage, screenshots, and diagrams show the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basic vs. Advanced Avatar: Which model should you use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can set a separate model for full-screen scenes and avatar-over-b-roll scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Scene or goal<\/th><th>Recommended model<\/th><th>Why<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Full-screen presenter<\/td><td>Advanced<\/td><td>Facial movement and gestures are easier to see<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Small avatar over b-roll<\/td><td>Basic<\/td><td>The supporting footage holds most of the attention<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Important direct-address scene<\/td><td>Advanced<\/td><td>The presenter\u2019s delivery is central to the scene<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Early draft<\/td><td>Basic or static preview<\/td><td>Avoids unnecessary rendering while the script changes<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, Visla uses <strong>Advanced Avatar for full-screen scenes<\/strong> and <strong>Basic Avatar over b-roll<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Agent decides each scene\u2019s layout, but it doesn\u2019t change your model choices. If you select Advanced for full screen, every full-screen avatar scene uses Advanced unless you manually change one later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone can use Advanced Avatars. Available credits provide the practical limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose whether to render animated previews<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Turn on the animated-preview option to see the avatar\u2019s complete movement and lip sync inside the Scene-Based Editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave it off while you\u2019re still changing the script, voice, or language. Any of those changes will require another sync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do full-screen avatar wallpapers work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A full-screen avatar can use a default background or an AI-generated wallpaper. You can let Visla generate one automatically or write your own prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the least intuitive part of the workflow: Visla renders the full-screen avatar and selected wallpaper together as one piece of footage. The wallpaper isn\u2019t a separate layer that you can replace inside the Scene-Based Editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To change the wallpaper, return to the video setup screen and generate a new one. You can place another image or generated wallpaper behind the rendered avatar footage in the editor, but it won\u2019t replace the background already rendered with the avatar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wallpaper is generated once and reused where appropriate across the video. It doesn\u2019t automatically use your Workspace brand colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to edit an AI avatar in the Scene-Based Editor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Agent generates the draft, use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visla.us\/scene-based-video-editing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visla\u2019s Scene-Based Editor<\/a> to adjust individual avatar scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Select the avatar layer in the video preview. Drag it to move it, or use the handles around its edge to resize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A toolbar will appear above the selected avatar. From left to right, its controls let you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Apply the current position to matching avatar scenes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Switch between a regular shape and a circle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Switch between Basic and Advanced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Change between full screen and overlay.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delete the avatar from the scene.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Position changes apply only to scenes with the same layout. A full-screen adjustment applies to other full-screen avatar scenes. An overlay adjustment applies to other overlays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add or replace an avatar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the Avatar button above the video preview to add a presenter to the selected scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can alternate between different presenters across a video, but two avatars can\u2019t appear in the same scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To replace the presenter throughout the project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select <strong>Avatar<\/strong> in the left sidebar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose the replacement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>A replacement avatar brings its default voice to the scene. Each presenter can use only one voice in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is the Visla export button disabled?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some changes require the avatar to render again. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Editing the script<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changing the voice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changing the language<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replacing the avatar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Switching between Basic and Advanced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Select <strong>Sync avatar<\/strong> in every affected scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t export a video while an avatar scene remains unsynced. The export button stays disabled until Visla has rendered every affected scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Visla apps support Advanced Avatars?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Advanced Avatar workflow is available in the Visla web and mobile apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It isn\u2019t available in the desktop apps, which focus mainly on screen and camera recording. Avatars work across Visla project types and supported aspect ratios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What kinds of videos work best with AI avatars?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Avatars tend to work best when the audience primarily needs clear, repeatable information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Training and onboarding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A recurring presenter can guide employees through policies, tools, or processes without requiring a trainer to record every update. The avatar can introduce each section while screenshots, diagrams, and b-roll show the information employees need to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Product education and customer support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use an avatar to frame a tutorial, explain why a feature matters, or connect the steps in a walkthrough. When the viewer needs to study the interface, let the product footage take over rather than keeping the presenter full screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Routine updates and recurring series<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Avatars can give feature announcements, internal updates, and short educational series a familiar presenter. They\u2019re especially useful when the team expects to revise, localize, or republish the material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An avatar doesn\u2019t need to stay visible for every sentence. It often works better as a guide who introduces topics and connects sections than as permanent visual wallpaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should you use an AI avatar instead of a real presenter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Current research doesn\u2019t support a simple claim that audiences learn less from synthetic presenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irrodl.org\/index.php\/irrodl\/article\/view\/7815\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2024 study of video lectures with AI-generated instructors<\/a> found no significant difference in academic performance compared with human instructors. However, engagement was higher with the human instructor, and some students described the synthetic presenter as distracting, uncomfortable, or disconnected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/formative.jmir.org\/2026\/1\/e90037\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2026 randomized crossover feasibility study<\/a> found no significant difference in short-term learning gains between an AI avatar and a human presenter. The sample was small, with 13 engineering students, and participants rated the human-presented video more highly across the study\u2019s user-experience measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These studies come from educational settings, so they don\u2019t settle how every audience will respond to every business video. They do suggest a useful distinction: an avatar may communicate straightforward information effectively, while a human presenter can still have an advantage when personal connection and viewer comfort matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a real presenter when the message depends on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First-hand experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Genuine personal emotion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trust in a named individual<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personal responsibility for a decision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A real customer\u2019s testimony<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A sensitive or difficult announcement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An Advanced Avatar can deliver approved information. It can\u2019t personally experience an event, endorse a product as a real customer, or accept responsibility for a company decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visla.us\/blog\/guides\/ai-avatars-vs-human-presenters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI avatars vs. human presenters<\/a> examines that decision in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use AI avatars responsibly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Public and fictional AI-generated avatars generally involve fewer likeness and long-term consent questions than digital versions of identifiable people. They still need responsible scripts and honest presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t use an avatar to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Impersonate someone without permission<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Invent a customer testimonial<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suggest a real expert made a statement they didn\u2019t make<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create an unauthorized celebrity endorsement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conceal material information from viewers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/business-guidance\/resources\/consumer-reviews-testimonials-rule-questions-answers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FTC\u2019s guidance on testimonials and AI-generated avatars<\/a> explains that stock avatars aren\u2019t automatically prohibited, but fake testimonials, false claims, and deceptive endorsements can still violate federal rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visla doesn\u2019t automatically add an AI disclosure to exported videos. Add one when the platform, audience, context, or applicable law requires it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">Try our Advanced Avatars now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782948756609\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long should an AI avatar stay on screen?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">There\u2019s no universal time limit. Keep the avatar visible when it introduces a topic, explains an important point, or guides viewers between sections. Reduce or remove it when the audience needs to study detailed screenshots, charts, text, or product footage. Multimedia-learning research shows that presenter cues can help direct attention, but unnecessary social cues can also increase cognitive load and compete with the material.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782948939526\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How can you tell whether an AI avatar is improving a video?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Compare the avatar version with a voiceover-only or human-presented version. Look at completion rate, watch time, quiz or task accuracy, calls to action, and direct viewer feedback. Don\u2019t rely on views alone. One study found similar academic performance for human and AI-generated instructors, but viewers reported higher engagement with the human presenter. An avatar may communicate the information successfully while still producing a weaker viewing experience.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1782948944216\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Who should review an AI avatar video before it\u2019s published?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The content owner or subject-matter expert should verify the script, claims, pronunciation, visuals, and links.

Human review matters most for medical, legal, financial, compliance, and other high-stakes topics.
