How To Remix This Template in Magic Hour
You don’t need to start from zero. Use this template as a baseline and customize it to your brand and use case:
Choose or upload a face photo
- Start with a portrait or a clear front-facing image.
- If you don’t have one, create it with AI Photo Generator, AI Selfie Generator, or Full Body Generator.

Add your script or audio
- Paste a marketing script, product pitch, course explainer, onboarding message, or founder intro.
- If you prefer, upload recorded audio of yourself or your spokesperson.
- To scale content across languages, first generate a voice track using:
- AI Voice Generator for synthetic voices
- AI Voice Cloner to keep your own voice while changing language or tone
Generate your talking video
- The AI Talking Photo engine will automatically animate lips, facial expressions, and subtle head movements to sync with your script or audio.
- Export your talking avatar video and embed it in landing pages, email campaigns, ads, or social content.
Iterate and version quickly
- Test different angles or characters by swapping in new faces via AI Face Editor or Face Swap.
- Create localized versions of the same video by re-running the template with translated scripts and different AI Voice Generator outputs.

Best Practices for Realistic AI Talking Photos
To get the most out of this template:
Start with a high-quality face image
- Use clear lighting and avoid heavy occlusions (hands over mouth, large sunglasses, etc.).
- Upscale older or low-res photos with the AI Image Upscaler.
- Restore damaged or vintage portraits via Old Photo Restoration and Photo Colorizer.
Match voice, face, and message
- Use AI Voice Cloner for founders or key team members to maintain authenticity in demos and investor updates.
- For fictional characters or stylized brands, pair with generated avatars from AI Character Generator or AI Manga Generator.
Optimize for your platform
- For TikTok, Reels, and Shorts: keep scripts punchy, and design faces and outfits with AI Fashion Generator or AI Outfit Generator.
- For B2B sales and onboarding: use clean headshots and neutral backgrounds, then remove distractions with Image Background Remover or Remove Object from Photo.
Respect consent and IP
- Always have rights and permission to use a person’s likeness and voice, especially for commercial campaigns or paid ads.
