Introduction

In this Tutorial, I will guide you through the process of creating an animated avatar with the help of artificial intelligence. We will cover various steps, including creating the avatar, removing the background, adding a green screen background, generating voice, and finalizing the video. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a fully customized and animated avatar ready for use in presentations, tutorials, or any other type of video content you need.

Creating an Avatar with Artificial Intelligence

Step 1: Creating an Avatar in My Journey

To begin, we will utilize the power of My Journey, an artificial intelligence tool that allows us to create highly realistic and detailed images. By following the instructions provided in a separate video tutorial, you can configure My Journey to generate a personalized avatar. Whether you desire a historical character, an animal, or even a fruit, My Journey can bring your vision to life. You can also customize attributes such as hair color and clothing style. Once your avatar is generated, save the image to your computer.

Step 2: Removing the Background with Adobe Express

Now that we have our avatar image, we need to remove the background to allow for easy integration into any desired video or image background. Adobe Express, an excellent online tool, provides a simple and effective solution for background removal. By uploading your avatar image to Adobe Express, you can easily separate the avatar from its background without losing any image quality or experiencing pixelation. After uploading the image, select the background removal option and let the tool work its magic. Once the background is removed, download the image in PNG format.

Step 3: Adding a Green Screen Background with Vegas Pro

To give our avatar a professional touch, we will add a green screen background using a video editing software called Vegas Pro. This will enable us to seamlessly integrate the avatar into any background of our choosing. Vegas Pro is a versatile tool that allows for easy manipulation of video elements. If you don't have Vegas Pro, there are several alternative options available, such as Filmora, Premiere, or Camtasia.

Start by importing both the background video and the avatar image into Vegas Pro. Layer the avatar image over the background video and apply a chroma key effect to remove the green screen background. Adjust the chroma key parameters to ensure a perfect fit and eliminate any unwanted artifacts. Once the green screen is removed, resize and position the avatar image accordingly. Finally, save the video in your preferred format.

Generating Voice with Flicky

To make our avatar come to life, we need to generate a realistic voice. For this task, we will use Flicky, an AI-powered tool that offers a vast catalog of voices. Flicky not only helps create audio and video content but also provides high-quality voice simulations.

After registering with Flicky, creating a new project, and selecting the desired language and voice preferences, enter the text you want your avatar to speak. Make sure to choose a voice that matches the gender and style you desire. Preview the generated voice to ensure the desired tone and pronunciation. Once satisfied, export the audio in MP3 format and download it to your computer.

Creating an Animated Avatar with iD.com

Next, we will use iD.com, an incredibly user-friendly tool, to bring our avatar to life by adding movement. iD.com offers a range of pre-built avatars, but for our tutorial, we will focus on using our custom avatar image generated earlier.

Upload your avatar image to iD.com and add the previously generated audio. With just a few clicks, iD.com will render a fully Animated Video featuring your avatar speaking with natural movements and expressions.

Once the video is generated, preview it to ensure that everything looks perfect. Then, export and download the video file to your computer.

Finalizing the Video with Vegas Pro

We are in the final stage of our avatar creation process. Now, we will use Vegas Pro again to add finishing touches to our video. Import the video created using iD.com into Vegas Pro.

If necessary, adjust the size and position of the video to fit your desired outcome. Add any additional effects, transitions, or enhancements to enhance the overall visual appeal. Finally, render and save the video in your preferred format.
