Create your own Avatar | Create talking Images

Introduction

Creating digital content has never been easier, thanks to recent advancements in artificial intelligence tools. You can now generate stunning photos based on prompts, turn videos into anime-style animations, and even create talking images—all without showing your face or using your voice. In this article, we will guide you through the process of using three AI tools to achieve these tasks.

Step 1: Generating Your Image

To bring your ideas to life, we'll start with an image generation tool—Leonardo AI. Follow these steps:

1. Accessing Leonardo AI: Visit the Leonardo AI tool and log in. Use either your existing social media account or register with your email and password.

2. Creating an Image:

   • Once logged in, navigate to the image creation tab.
   • In the dropdown preset menu, select “Anime.”
   • Choose the style “Anime Semi Realism” and set your preferred image dimensions (recommended: 16:9).
   • Enter your prompt in the designated area and click the "Generate" button.

3. Review Your Images: If the generated images don't meet your expectations, you can refine your prompt until you achieve your desired result. You have a quota of 150 tokens per day as a free user, with each image generation costing you 10 tokens.

4. Using the Legacy Mode: For older versions that may reduce token consumption but affect image quality, enable the legacy mode and select “Leonardo Anime XL.” Download the best rendition by clicking on your generated image.

Step 2: Animating the Image

To animate your generated image, we will use Wondershare Vero:

1. Access Wondershare Vero: Navigate to the Wondershare Vero page and choose between the free application download or the online version.

2. Upload Your Image: After signing in using your Gmail, select the “Talking Photo” option and upload your created image.

3. Script and Voice Over: Type or paste your desired script into the textbox. Choose a voice-over option that aligns with the accent you prefer—options range from Chinese to German to American.

4. Finalizing Your Video:

   • You can add background music and adjust settings like volume, pitch, and speed.
   • If you have recorded your voice, upload it directly to the project. After making adjustments, click "Create Video."

5. Downloading Your Video: Once ready, you can preview your video and download it. Note that using the free version may leave a watermark on your video.

Step 3: Hiding Watermarks

To eliminate watermarks from your video, follow these steps using the CapCut application:

1. Importing Files: Import both your animated video and the image you created earlier.

2. Using Layers: Drag your video onto the timeline and your image as the upper layer, which covers the watermark.

3. Masking: Access the mask tab to select “Horizontal.” Place the mask line accordingly and export your final video.

Step 4: Turning Your Video into Anime

For converting your video into a unique anime-style format, we will utilize the Media.io platform.

1. Access Media.io: Click on Media.io's site to log in and receive three credits for generating videos.

2. Creating Your Anime Video:

   • Start a new video project and select your preferred style, then upload your video.
   • You can edit to trim the video as desired.

3. Submitting Your Project: Confirm your settings and provide your email to receive notifications once your video is generated. It typically takes about 5-10 minutes.

4. Downloading the Anime Video: Once completed, you will be able to download the transformed anime video.

With these tools, you can create personalized avatars and engaging content effortlessly.
