Placing Avatars in Your Video
Add an AI avatar presenter to the intro, outro, and transitions of your video. Your screen recording remains the main content between those segments. VideoMule generates 1080p avatar clips that speak the matching script lines in the same AI voice as your voiceover.
The three placements
| Placement | What it does |
|---|---|
| Intro | Add an avatar presenter at the start of the video. |
| Outro | Add an avatar presenter at the end of the video. |
| Transitions | Add avatar presenter clips between sections. |
You can enable any combination of the available placements. Each has a checkbox under Show avatar in.
Adding an avatar to a project
When creating a project, open the AI Avatar Presenter card and click Choose avatar. Choose a stock avatar or one of your Ready custom avatars, select the placements, and pick a quality tier. See Training a Custom Avatar and Avatar Quality Tiers for those options.
To add or change an avatar from an existing project's script page:
- Select the language and script version you want to work on.
- Open Change Avatar, the person icon between History and the microphone icon in the toolbar.
Open Change Avatar using the person icon between History and the microphone icon.
- In AI avatar, choose Select an avatar. Browse the Stock Library or My Avatars, choose the avatar or look and quality you want, then return to the placement panel.
- Under Show avatar in, select the available Intro, Outro, and Transitions placements. Review the duration beside each one. Transitions also shows a clip count.
Each placement has a duration estimate. This example has no avatar selected, so its placement checkboxes are disabled.
- Click Confirm to apply your choices. Use Cancel to leave without applying them.
Use Confirm to apply your placement choices, or Cancel to leave the panel.
Read the estimates for the current script; they are not fixed lengths for every project. Credit usage depends on duration and quality tier. See Avatar Quality Tiers for the quality options and Capabilities and Limits for usage guidance.
What the avatar says
Your generated script contains lines tagged for the intro, outro, and transitions. The avatar speaks those lines using the same AI voice as the rest of your voiceover. Editing those script lines changes what the avatar says the next time its clips are generated.
Check the voice shown at the top of AI avatar. To choose another voice, use Change Voice on the script page for the selected language. The avatar selector identifies the voice the avatar will speak with. The voice used by Preview video (for review) can differ from the project's selected voice.
Placements follow the sections in your script. The template and its intro, outro, and transition options determine which sections are generated. If the template does not include a section, the matching avatar placement is unavailable.
Regenerate Script includes Include Transitions with Steps and Parts choices, plus Include Intro and Include Outro. Review the resulting transition lines and the clip count in AI avatar before choosing placements. The Transitions checkbox selects that placement category; it does not provide a Steps/Parts choice.
Choose the template and section options in Regenerate Script.
Regenerate Script creates a new draft version. Its warning says manual edits to the current script will not carry over. Save a copy of any wording you need before regenerating, then review the new draft and its avatar settings.
Review the script, voice, and placements before generating. In a voiceover-pending project, the generation button is Generate Voiceover. After changing a project that already has generated output, review the generation status and follow Generating Your Video before exporting again.
Per-version and per-language settings
Avatar choice, quality tier, and the placement toggles are saved per script version. New versions inherit the settings from the version they were created from. Each translated language gets its own copy inherited from the primary language, so you can use a different avatar for your Spanish version without changing the English one.
Check the language and version selectors before adjusting placements. For the translation workflow, see Translating Your Project.
What you need
You need avatar credits to generate avatar clips. Credits can come from a plan allowance, a credit pack, or an avatar add-on. Check Plans and Usage Limits and Credit Packs for current access and allowance details. Generation is blocked when your avatar credits run out.
If you use a custom avatar, it must be Ready before you select it for the project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the avatar present over my whole video?
No. The avatar appears in the intro, outro, and transition segments only. Your screen recording remains the main content in between.
Why is one of the placement toggles disabled?
First check whether you have selected an avatar. The panel disables placements while it shows Select an avatar to enable placements. If an avatar is selected, check whether the script's template includes the section you want. An avatar placement needs matching script lines. Review the template and regeneration options above if you need a missing section.
Do I pay per placement?
Avatar usage is billed per minute of generated avatar video, multiplied by the quality tier. Enabling more placements means more avatar minutes, but there is no per-placement fee. Check Avatar Quality Tiers before generating.
Can different languages use different avatars?
Yes. Each project language carries its own avatar and placement settings. New languages start with the primary language's settings and can be changed independently.
