- The new Avatarfx character tool. Ai can turn a single photo into a realistic video
- The video shows a fixed image that speaks with synchronized lips movements, gestures and performances long
- The tool admits everything from human portraits to mythical creatures and talking about inanimate objects.
The images can be worth more than a thousand words, but the character .i does not see any reason why the image should not speak those words itself. The company has a new tool called Avatarfx that converts fixed images into expressive video avatars, speaking, single, Gesting Video. And not only the photos of people, animals, paintings of mythical beasts, even an inanimate object can speak and express emotion when it includes a voice sample and a script.
Avatarfx produces surprisingly convincing videos. Everything, from lip synchronization precision, tilt of the head, eyebrow elevations and even properly dramatic hand gestures. In a world that is already turning with text generated by AI, images, songs and now whole podcasts, Avatarfx could sound like another smart toy. But what makes it special is how gently connects the voice to the images. You can feed it with a portrait, a dialogue line and a tone and a character. AI calls what a performance comes out, one capable of videos long too, not just a few seconds.
That is thanks to the temporary consistency of the model, an elegant way of saying that the avatar does not suddenly cultivate a third eyebrow between prayers or forget where his chin goes half a monologue. The movement of the face, hands and body are synchronized with what is said, and the final result is seen, if you do not live, at least animated enough to star in an infomercial podcast or host of guests at night at night. Your creativity is the only thing between you and a soap opera generated by the starring the family fridge. You can see some examples in the demonstration below.

Of course, the magical fantasy of the framework of the speaker image comes with its fair part of the luggage. A AI tool that can generate realistic videos raises some understandable concerns. The character. AI seems to be taking those concerns seriously with a set of incorporated security measures for Avatarfx.
That includes a prohibition of generating content from images of minors or public figures. The tool also stir the faces with human supplootation so that they are no longer exact similarities, and all the scripts are verified to determine the adequacy. If that is not enough, each video has a water mark to make it clear that this is not a real footage, only some impressively animated pixels. There is also a strict policy of a blow to break the rules.
Avatarfx is not exempt from precedents. Tools such as Heygen, Synthesia and Runway have also exceeded the limits of the generation of AI videos. But the character of the character. AI in space leaves the bet by merging expressive avatars with its signature chat personalities. These are not just speaking heads; They are characters with background stories, personalities and the ability to remember what you said the last time you talked.
Avatarfx is currently in a test phase, with the character. Ai+ subscribers who probably obtain the first DIB once deployed. For now, you can join a waiting list and start dreaming about which of your friends' selfies would be the best Shakespeare monologue delivery system.
