How to Create a Personal Avatar:
From your Synthesia dashboard, click Avatars in the left-hand menu and select Create Avatar under the Personal Avatar section.
Watch the setup instructions and click Next when you're ready.
Choose how you'd like to create your avatar:
Record yourself using your webcam, or
Upload pre-recorded footage.
If you're recording in Synthesia:
Select the correct camera and microphone.
Click Next, choose your preferred language, and click Start Recording.
Follow the on-screen script and prompts.
After recording, click Submit recording.
Review your footage to ensure it meets the creation guidelines.
If needed, click Record again to re-record.
If you recorded in Synthesia, you can use the Remove background toggle to remove your background. This option is not available for uploaded footage.
Tick the checkbox to confirm your recording meets the guidelines and click Next.
Click Start Recording and record your consent using the on-screen script.
Check the biometric consent box and click Submit recording.
Your avatar will begin processing. It usually takes around 1 business day to generate. Once complete, it will appear in your Avatars section and can be used in videos like any other avatar.
