I'm 92 and the reason I was able to get to this age is because I love technology and can't wait to see the next innovations. Thanks for the tute. 😎

[@coachingfortoday7143]

So I've watched about 10 different videos that talk about D-ID, but no one mentions that D-ID costs $50 for every 15 minutes of generated video after your short free trial. Not exactly the most scalable solution if you are making KZbin videos unless you have the budget of a marketing firm. Some of the D-ID voices are excellent quality too, which makes the cost even more frustrating.

[@sharpstartup]

Agreed, I'm interested in finding a scalable solution. I've been looking.

可能要做一些开源工具或者解决方案，才能避免在AI短视频时代被另一家“Adobe”公司抢走普通创作者收入的很大一部分。

Alternative is pixbim animate photos at a cheaper price.

Really appreciate you pitting this together, really gets you thinking creatively how all the bits of software can be used for different applications. Only negative is the lip syncing is soo off which breaks the illusion that the avatar is a real person.

[@sharpstartup]

The lip sync will improve very soon. Yes, it's fun to think of the creative use cases!

[@RollOnBeGood]

How much do you look at the lips. Usually, we look at the eyes or the related imagery/video the narrator is commentating upon. Try it, then reply. PS - Even watching the mouth, it is not too bad; but who does that?

[@gardogodinez6621]

I just made a lion-looking Chad Avatar do a motivational video. The lip syncing is fine.

[@louis_quinn]

yes, true

[@sourceaigent]

Nice vid! When I first found out about image prompting in Midjourney it was like finding a cheatcode to a video game as a kid 🎮

[@theway9975]

I liked the intro, but what makes me ask, to make the background moving by having the sound in the surroundings is really good 🤩🤩

[@GoldKingsMan]

With some nice explosions.

[@arthurdiaz9184]

Dude you’ve got me sparked up. I’m old school photoshopster , but all these newer apps are amazing. The creative potential is endless. Make more vids I’ll be watching. You make it easy to understand.

[@jermainebrown6452]

definitely sparked inspiration.. multiple light bulb moments. Thanks for this video!

[@zb333]

Fantastic step-by-step guide on creating AI animated characters! It'd be awesome to see these characters combined with ZeroBot AI, the first verbal chatbot on the internet. Imagine the possibilities of integrating these two technologies. Looking forward to potentially seeing it in a future video!

Hi @sharpstartup, thanks for your video. I already made a similar video with Lexica and D-ID, but you did something that I just learned you made a project not a simple video like me. Also, you model is amazing.

Glad you enjoyed the video. It started off as a simple video, then slowly turned into a small project.

Incredible helpful tutorial!! Thanks so much for your sharing your knowledge;

Glad you enjoyed the video! You’re right, this is just the beginning.

[@David.L291]

@@sharpstartup I don't want to sound like a down beat but in truth we should be well more advanced than we are nowadays, Me thinks that not a lot happened way back in the days like even the 80's and now inventors etc are falling over themselves to catch up be it technologies softwares all like this to other gadgets smartphones and god only knows what else, Hopefully at this rate time travel can be possible and I'll go back to the 80's and 90's and have the latest gadgets with me from now and they'll be Woah 😀

earned a sub - good vid bro. Will go thru your catalog. Interested to see a full in depth vid on creating the avatars. For me, the hardest part has been creating the actual images worthy of using. However; Im trying to make Celeb avatars. Midjourney just doesnt want to make certain celebs

Thanks for this. Lots of insight into a fascinating subject. Are there tools/techniques to sink up the mouth and words better? It's pretty close, but not dead spot on.

[@sharpstartup]

With these tools there is no option to sink up the mouth and words better. Perhaps you would get better results with other software that's more technical.

If one like to use the Avatar in different videos it is actually natural to have some kind of slide variation of the characterimage. But humans age and variate in weight and skincolor (if not black).
