Avatar Studio

Avatar Studio allows users to generate course videos using customizable AI avatars, voices, and branded backgrounds directly inside Course Editor.

Instead of recording presenters manually, teams can generate consistent presenter-style videos while maintaining control over voice tone, visual identity, and branding. Avatar-generated videos also work with Smartcat’s translation workflows, allowing courses to scale across languages without re-recording videos.

This helps organizations deliver brand-consistent, multilingual training content faster while reducing manual production work.

Avatar Studio is useful when you want to:

1. Create presenter-style course videos without recording a human speaker

2. Maintain a consistent visual presenter and voice across courses

3. Apply brand assets or backgrounds to training videos

4. Generate training videos that can be regenerated automatically for multiple languages

5. Combine avatar-generated videos and uploaded videos in the same course

Common scenarios include:

1. Branded corporate training programs

2. Global onboarding courses

3. Compliance and certification training

4. Multilingual learning programs

1. Open Course Editor. Create a new course or open an existing one.

2. Go to the Course Settings page > Avatar Settings.

3. Select a default avatar for the course. This avatar is applied to all videos unless you customize for specific avatars.

4. (Optional) Customize Avatar Settings for a specific video. This overrides course-level avatar configuration for that video only.

• Open the Video Settings page

• 1. Select a different avatar, voice, or background if needed

5. Configure the video. Choose the following configurations:

• Avatar - the presenter that appears in the video

• Voice - the voice persona used for narration

• Background image - optional logo, brand background, or visual asset

6. Generate key points, script, and video

7. (Optional) Translate the Course. Courses created with Avatar Studio can be translated into multiple languages. Translation behavior depends on the type of video:

• Avatar-generated videos regenerate automatically for each language based on the translated script.

• Uploaded videos are translated through Smartcat Projects using the tanslation workflow.

1. Access to CourseEditor

2. Video generation enabled within CourseEditor

No external integrations or API keys are required.

Yes. Courses can contain a combination of avatar-generated videos and uploaded videos.

Avatar videos are regenerated for each language using the translated script, rather than translated inside Smartcat Projects.

Background selection is part of video generation and may require you to generate the video again.
