How to Remix This Template in Magic Hour

You can treat this template as a starting point and adapt it in a few steps:

1. Choose or create your avatar image

   • Use a real photo (yourself, a team member, or a model)
   • Or generate a character with:
     • AI Photo Generator
     • AI Character Generator
     • Avatar Generator
     • Animated Characters Generator
   • If needed, refine the photo with:
     • AI Face Editor
     • AI Image Editor
     • AI Headshot Generator for polished, professional looks

2. Add or generate the voice

   • Upload audio if you’ve recorded your script manually
   • Or generate a voice:
     • AI Voice Generator for synthetic voices in different tones and accents
     • AI Voice Cloner to keep the avatar sounding like you or a specific speaker
   • For multilingual content, create multiple audio tracks in different languages, then render separate talking-photo versions.

3. Render the talking photo

   • Combine your chosen image and voice in AI Talking Photo.
   • The model will automatically animate the lips and facial expressions to match the speech for a realistic talking head result.

4. Refine and repurpose the video

   • Add subtitles with the Auto Subtitle Generator
   • Upscale or enhance quality with Video Upscaler
   • Turn it into short looping content with the AI GIF Generator for social platforms

Because this template is fully remixable, you can keep the same structure—avatar + voice + script—and just swap:

• A different photo or character
• A new script or localization
• A different voice style (formal, friendly, energetic, etc.)

This makes it easy to maintain creative consistency at scale across campaigns, markets, and channels.

How to Create Your Own Version From Scratch

If you don’t want to start from the preset layout, you can recreate a similar “talking photo” template in Magic Hour by following this general approach:

1. Define your use case and script

   • Decide the primary goal: conversion (landing page), education (course), awareness (social), or onboarding (product)
   • Draft a concise script (15–90 seconds) focused on one clear message and call-to-action

2. Design your avatar visual system

   • Use AI Image Generator, AI Art Generator, or AI Fashion Generator to define a stable character style
   • If you want realistic founder/employee avatars, lean on AI Headshot Generator and AI Face Editor

3. Set up voice and language strategy

   • For brand voices with consistent tone across content, standardize on a small set of voices created via AI Voice Generator
   • For authenticity, clone your own voice with AI Voice Cloner, then reuse across scripts and templates

4. Build your master talking-photo template

   • Combine your avatar image and voice in AI Talking Photo
   • Save this project as your “master avatar” and duplicate it whenever you need new messages, languages, or campaigns

5. Create a reusable system, not one-off videos

   • Maintain a small set of:
     • Core avatars (founder, product expert, support agent, mascot)
     • Standard scripts (intro, feature overview, pricing, onboarding)
     • Voice/language variants
   • Reuse and remix these components instead of starting from zero every time
