Avatars in Descript - Instant text-to-video to make more video in less time

Hey Product Hunt,

We’re excited to launch avatars in Descript! Just write your script, choose your avatar—from our gallery or by uploading an image—select a voice, hit generate, and boom: you’ve got a video. Your avatar delivers your script in a lifelike, not-creepy way, so you can make more video in less time.

Recording yourself adds a whole layer of complexity to making video. You have to write and edit the script, set up your recording space, get the lighting right, make yourself presentable—all this accompanied by the stress of knowing that, if you screw it up, sometimes all the editing in the world won’t save your video.

For some videos, it’s just not worth the hassle. Internal updates, memos, tutorials—videos where the message matters more than the messenger—shouldn’t require a full production setup.

That’s where avatars come in. Descript’s avatars let you create professional, engaging videos in a fraction of the time, with no recording at all. Creating an avatar is simple: pick one from our gallery or make your own from a single picture. No fancy studio, no expensive equipment needed.

Give avatars a try here!
