Generate course videos with Avatar Studio

Overview

Avatar Studio lets you generate course videos using customizable AI avatars, voices, and branded backgrounds directly inside Course Editor.

Instead of recording presenters manually, your team can generate consistent presenter-style videos while keeping control over voice tone, visual identity, and branding. Avatar-generated videos also work with Smartcat's translation workflows, so you can scale courses across languages without re-recording videos.

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

When to use it

Avatar Studio is useful when you want to:

• Create presenter-style course videos without recording a human speaker

• Maintain a consistent visual presenter and voice across courses

• Apply brand assets or backgrounds to training videos

• Generate training videos that can be regenerated automatically for multiple languages

• Combine avatar-generated videos and uploaded videos in the same course

Common scenarios include:

• Branded corporate training programs

• Global onboarding courses

• Compliance and certification training

• Multilingual learning programs

FAQs

Can I mix avatar-generated and uploaded videos in the same course?

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

Do avatar videos get translated automatically?

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

Why is the background missing in the translated version?

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