Ask GoFrame Editor Agent for a presenter and it produces a talking-head clip from a script: a pre-made avatar from a library, or a portrait photo of you animated to speak. Use it for product demos, tutorials, announcements, FAQ videos and multi-language versions of the same message.

​
Before you start

  • A script. 50 to 300 words works best. Split longer scripts into several clips.
  • A plan that includes the model. HeyGen Avatar 4 Digital Twin, the default, carries the pro badge and needs a paid plan.
  • Credits. Avatar video is billed per second of finished video. The agent shows the cost and asks for approval before running, unless you’ve set avatar-video to auto-approve in Settings → Agent → Permissions.
  • Time. Generation takes a few minutes; the job card shows progress.
  • A portrait (Photo Avatar only). A clear, well-lit face, frontal or at a slight angle. Attach it to the chat or reference it in the Media pool with @.

​
Ask the agent

Pick the model with the ✦ button in the composer or /model, in the avatar section of the picker. If you attach a photo, the agent uses Photo Avatar. If Photo Avatar is selected and you haven’t given a photo, it asks for one.

​
Options

Ask the agent to “suggest three avatars for a healthcare explainer” if you’d like to choose from the library.

​
Where the result lands and what to do next

  • The clip is saved to the Media pool with the Created by AI agent badge and placed at the end of the timeline on a video track, or where you asked. An Avatar video job card shows progress; Regenerate re-runs it unchanged.
  • Add your own captions: Transcribe the clip in the Media pool and apply a preset in the Captions panel. This gives you word-level styling that the built-in captions option doesn’t.
  • Layer it: put a screen recording or B-roll on the track above and shrink the presenter into a corner with the Inspector, or crop it into a circle with a mask.
  • Multi-scene videos: the wf-avatar-presenter workflow plans sections, generates one clip per section with a locked avatar, voice, style, background and resolution, and assembles them in order.

​
Tips

  • Write for speech: a hook in the first sentence, two or three points, one call to action. Contractions and short sentences sound natural; sentences over 30 words flatten the delivery.
  • Commas and dashes are where the avatar gestures. Put them where you want a beat.
  • Keep one avatar, one voice and one background across a project. Any change reads as a different presenter.
  • Draft at 720p, generate the final at 1080p.
  • If you only need the voice, use Voiceover. If you need a scene rather than a presenter, use Generate video.
