BYOA -- Bring Your Own Avatar
Film yourself once, upload to Creatify, and use your digital twin for every video you need.
Steps
- Film yourself -- good lighting, clean background, looking at camera
- Go to BYOA in Creatify
- Upload your video to Creatify
- The system processes your footage into a reusable avatar
- 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
- Navigate to Aurora or the avatar creation section
- Upload a single photo of the person you want to animate
- Add your script or audio
- 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
- Go to DYOA (Design Your Own Avatar)

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
- Choose or create your brand avatar -- pick from the library, use Aurora, or create a BYOA
- Save it to your account -- it becomes your persistent character
- Use the same avatar across all campaigns -- Meta, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube
- Create audience segment variations -- one spokesperson for each demographic segment, but consistent within each
- 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
- Go to Script in the editor
- Listen to different voices and accents
- Pick the best fit for your brand
- Click Render Audio after every voice/accent change
- Adjust voice volume on the right side panel
- You can also upload custom voice audio for your avatar
