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

- If needed, refine the photo with:

Refine and repurpose the video
- Add subtitles with the Auto Subtitle Generator

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:

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
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
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
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
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

When to Use Talking Photos vs. Other Formats
