BYOA -- Bring Your Own Avatar

Film yourself once, upload to Creatify, and use your digital twin for every video you need.

Steps

  1. Film yourself -- good lighting, clean background, looking at camera
  2. Go to BYOA in Creatify
  3. Upload your video to Creatify
  4. The system processes your footage into a reusable avatar
  5. Use your avatar across unlimited videos

Tips for Best Results

  • Use consistent, even lighting
  • Keep a neutral or clean background
  • Look directly at the camera
  • Record for at least 30 seconds of natural speech
  • Ensure clear audio

Aurora -- Image-to-Avatar

Aurora is Creatify's state-of-the-art avatar model. Upload a single photo and get a fully animated, lip-synced avatar.

How It Works

  1. Navigate to Aurora or the avatar creation section
  2. Upload a single photo of the person you want to animate
  3. Add your script or audio
  4. Aurora generates a fully animated avatar with:
    • Realistic lip sync
    • Emotional nuance
    • Natural head movements and gestures
    • Consistent facial features every time

Aurora Use Cases

  • Podcast-style dialogue
  • Side-angle presentations
  • Musical performances
  • Stylized character animation
  • Brand spokesperson consistency

Key Advantage: Consistency at Scale

Aurora avatars are saved to your account. Every time you create a new ad, you pull the same character -- same face, same voice (if desired), same overall presence. This builds brand recognition across all your ads.

DYOA -- Design Your Own Avatar

Create a 100% AI-generated avatar that is uniquely yours.

Steps

  1. Go to DYOA (Design Your Own Avatar)
  2. Describe or select characteristics for your ideal avatar
  3. The AI generates a custom character
  4. Save to your account for repeated use

Building Brand Consistency

Why It Matters

If every video has a different spokesperson, you destroy brand recognition. With Creatify, you lock in one avatar and use it across all variations.

Strategy for Brand Consistency

  1. Choose or create your brand avatar -- pick from the library, use Aurora, or create a BYOA
  2. Save it to your account -- it becomes your persistent character
  3. Use the same avatar across all campaigns -- Meta, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube
  4. Create audience segment variations -- one spokesperson for each demographic segment, but consistent within each
  5. Use for organic content too -- same spokesperson on TikTok tips, Instagram Reels, etc.

Advanced: Multi-Character Brand Universe

  • One consistent character per product line (e.g., skincare vs. supplements)
  • Each character stays consistent within their category
  • Builds segmented brand equity

Voice Selection

  1. Go to Script in the editor
  2. Listen to different voices and accents
  3. Pick the best fit for your brand
  4. Click Render Audio after every voice/accent change
  5. Adjust voice volume on the right side panel
  6. You can also upload custom voice audio for your avatar
