How do roles work?

 

PlayPlay allows you to create a video media featuring an ultra-realistic animated avatar by choosing its appearance, a voice, and then typing the script to be spoken, all powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI).

To do this, within your project, click on the Generate an AI Avatar video button.

You’ll then have two options to choose from:

1. Use an AI avatar from the catalog

In the Catalog tab, choose the appearance of your avatar (male or female) as well as its posture or shot type (depending on available options).

Note: For certain avatars, you can change the background color using your brand kit colors.

  • In the Voice tab:
    • Select the language in which your text will be written.
    • Choose the voice (male or female) that suits you best from the different options. You can click on the icon located to the left of the names to listen to a short audio sample.
  • In the Script tab, enter the text you want the avatar to speak.
  • Click Generate, and wait a few moments while it processes.

  • The transcript length is limited to 5,000 characters, which corresponds to about 4 minutes of video.
  • Your text must be clear and respectful. Please avoid any inappropriate content. To learn more, check our provider's moderation policy, available here.
  • Catalog avatars are not customizable: it is not possible to modify their appearance (clothing, hairstyle, background, etc.).

  • Add dynamic elements (text, images, videos, shapes, etc.) to illustrate or support the avatar's speech on a screen.
  • If you want to reposition the avatar to the left or right of a screen, you can apply a crop. Please note, however, that this may result in a slight loss of quality compared to the original video media.
