Are you ready to explore the revolutionary capabilities of our AI-driven video creation platform? With D-ID’s Creative Reality™ Studio, you can turn photos into lifelike, talking avatars, and generate high-quality presenter-led video content. We've recently added some amazing new features to let you boost your creativity even further. In this post, we will introduce you to the best workflow to get you creating jaw-dropping videos with the power of generative AI.

What’s new?

D-ID's Creative Reality™ Studio has been updated with a new look and exciting features that provide more control over your AI avatars. Now, you can choose your avatar’s expressions as well as your video's layout with our new canvas feature. Arrange elements in your video using layers, precisely place your content with positioning tools, and adjust the visibility of elements with the new transparency feature. Let’s explore these features step-by-step and in more detail.

Let's get started!

1. Create Your Presenter

Log in to the Creative Reality™ Studio, and click the “Create Video” button to start a new video. On the “Create Video” page, choose from one of the existing presenters or add your own by clicking "Upload your own photo" and selecting the image you want to animate. For best results, use a front-facing photo with clear lighting.

Alternatively, you can utilize the power of generative AI to create a brand-new presenter from scratch. In the AI Avatar generator tool, type a prompt describing your desired look and press "generate". Choose one of the four options, or generate another set to choose from.

2. Select the Canvas Layout

Canvas Layout lets you choose a layout that best fits your design, letting you create videos for mobile, social media, presentations, or more. The Canvas can be set to wide, square, or vertical, providing more flexibility in the video's presentation and format.

3. Add Your Script

The script is what determines what your presenter will say in the video. Your script can be up to 5 minutes long (roughly 700 words). If you need help, click on the "magic wand" icon, and GPT will assist you in generating text.

4. Language Selection

The studio offers over 100 different text-to-speech languages and accents to choose from. Note, the language of the script determines the language you should choose from the dropdown menu. If your script and voice language don’t match, the presenter will speak in the accent you have selected.

You also have the option to upload your own voice recording, by clicking the “Upload audio” button and selecting an audio file from your computer. Soon, you will also be able to record your voice directly in the studio.

5. Give Your Presenter a Voice

Select the speaker’s gender, and then choose a voice. Each character sounds different, so test them out by clicking the listen icon to find the one you like best. You can try it out as many times as you like until you're satisfied. 

6. Choose your avatar’s expression 

Your avatar can be happy, serious, surprised, or maintain a neutral expression. Just click on which emotion you want your presenter to convey and it will be implemented for the duration of the video.

7. Add Text Overlays

You can add text overlays to your video. Click the "text" icon, add the words you want to appear and choose a font and style. You can change the alignment, color, and size and employ a variety of different effects. You can also upload your own fonts by clicking on “My fonts”.

8. Background Selection

You can now determine the background of your canvas. Select from a variety of solid colors and pre-made designs.

9. Positioning, Layers, and Transparency

You can also determine the positioning, layers, and transparency of your elements. Positioning determines where on the canvas you want the presenter to be. Layers, let you move the different elements backwards or forwards in your design. Transparency lets you choose how opaque you want each element to be.

10. Generating the Video

When you’re ready. give your video a name and click "Generate Video" to begin the creation process.

11. Review and Export

Review your video. Make sure the avatar's movements sync up with the speech, the content is accurate, and the presentation fits your needs. If everything looks good, you can finalize and export your video. The video will be saved to your Video Library. You can either download it as an MP4 file or share it directly to your social media channels.

The D-ID Product Team

Today we're thrilled to introduce our product news page where we’ll keep you informed about updates and changes we are continuously pushing to our Creative Reality Studio. This includes new features, improvements, fixes but also scheduled maintenances.

We are constantly working to improve our studio and your satisfaction is our main metric for success. However, sometimes, it may seem that not much is happening. We know that communication is important and this news page is here to keep you up to date.

You will be alerted to new updates through a widget that appears in the news section of the studio. You can also subscribe to receive updates right to your inbox.

Our new free web app, chat.D-ID, is the first of its kind to let you talk face-to-face with ChatGPT and it’s now live in Beta! 

Based on the capabilities you are familiar with from the Creative Reality Studio, now you can really talk to AI using speech and video instead of just text, just like you do IRL. Try it yourself, you can hold up to five chats, each consisting of six back-and-forth interactions.

Once you’ve given it a go, please let us know what you think by leaving us feedback and support on Product Hunt.

The same streaming animation technology that powers chat.D-ID is also available via an API, making it possible for developers and businesses of all sizes to integrate the app's conversational capabilities with their own AI models.

This month we opened our robust and elastic API to the developer community, providing builders and makers with the ultimate solution to create customized videos featuring digital humans. There is no better way to integrate D-ID’s capabilities into your projects, including unique features like customizing the watermark or selecting the driver video, which are only available to API users.

D-ID’s API key is now available to all paying studio subscribers by clicking the “generate new key” button in your account settings. You will be charged 1 credit for every API call. Trial users who want to test out the API can reach out directly to support.

We are delighted to introduce two incredibly powerful generative AI tools to our studio – GPT-3 and Stable Diffusion. These new additions will help you achieve extraordinary results in record time!

📝 GPT-3, which is a large language model developed by OpenAI, helps you generate realistic scripts and dialogue for your talking avatars, making them more lifelike and engaging. All you have to do is type in a prompt for what you want the AI to write and click on the magic wand to get a full text. You can also begin writing and the AI will complete your line of thought.

🎨 Stable Diffusion is a generative model that can generate realistic images from text descriptions. With our “Generate AI Presenter” feature, you can generate endless images of people you want to turn into avatars simply by typing in a description. This allows you to create digital representations of people who may not be available to be photographed or filmed, such as historical figures or fictional characters.

We hope you take advantage of these two state-of-the-art generative AI tools and enjoy your creative journey with the Creative Reality Studio.
