Creating AI-Powered Videos

The AI Video Creator in Mimic Studio allows you to turn written scripts into fully produced AI-presenter videos. Follow these simple steps to generate your own video directly from your dashboard.

Step 1: Basic Information

1. Choose avatar type: Begin by selecting the type of avatar you want to use for your video. Select the 3D Avatar option to work with Mimic Studio’s realistic, high-fidelity digital humans.This enables advanced facial animation, high-quality rendering, and a more lifelike on-screen presence for your content.

2. Select Your Avatar: Under Select Avatar, browse through the available characters from the Mimic Studio library. Each avatar has been designed with unique personalities, looks, and movement styles to match different content needs. Click on the avatar card to select your character.

   Note: Voice selection for 3D avatars will be available in an upcoming update. For now, voices are available only for 2D avatars.

   After selecting your avatar, press Next Step to move on to setting up your script and styling.
   

   

Step 2: Video Title & Script / Text

1. Enter a video title: Provide a clear, descriptive title. This helps you identify the video later in your dashboard.

2. Write your script: Type or paste your dialogue into the Script / Text field. Scripts can range from a short sentence to several paragraphs (up to 5,000 characters).

3. Proceed: Once all fields are complete, click Next Step to continue.
   

   

Step 3: Styling & Generation

1. Dimension: Use the Dimension dropdown to pick the output size (resolution + orientation), e.g., 1280×720 (Landscape).

2. Background (optional):

   • Default — uses the standard background.

   • Color — choose a solid color background.

3. Generate: Click Generate Video to render your clip.

4. Preview & download: When rendering finishes, your video appears in the Video Creator list. Open it to preview, download, or manage it.

Integrations & Deployment

Embeddable Widgets

The Widget Generator lets you embed your AI avatar on a website as a chat widget. To create a widget:

1. Go to Widget Generator: In the Integration menu, select Widget. Click Create to open the wizard.

2. Enter widget details: Provide a Widget Name and the Website URL where the widget will be embedded. These details help generate a unique script snippet.

3. Assign to a project: Choose which project the widget will belong to, ensuring the correct avatar and logic are used.

4. Review and generate code: In the final step you’ll receive a code snippet (JavaScript) to paste into your website. This script loads the interactive avatar chat on your site. A live demo preview on the right side shows how the widget will appear.

   

External Integrations (Alpha)

Mimic Studio provides integrations with third‑party platforms to extend functionality. The Integrations page lists available integrations and currently includes Zapier, which connects to over 5,000 apps via automation workflows. Users can click Connect to link their Mimic account with Zapier and use webhooks or prebuilt automations to trigger avatar actions or pass conversation data to other tools.

Analytics and Insights

The Analytics section provides aggregated metrics on platform usage. Key dashboards include total users, active subscriptions, monthly revenue and total usage time. Administrators can filter results, export reports and view detailed subscription tables to monitor plan usage and user engagement. These insights help you optimize your avatars and plan allocation.

Administration

The Admin Panel offers controls for system administrators and enterprise accounts. Key sub‑sections include:

• LLM Configs: Manage large‑language‑model configurations. Each entry lists the model (e.g., GPT‑4, Gemini Pro), temperature and token limits. You can toggle models on/off, edit settings or remove them.

• Avatars: View all avatars available in the workspace. Toggle visibility, edit details or delete avatars. An Add Avatar button allows you to import new avatars for your team.

• Notifications: Create and manage user notifications. You can mark notifications as seen or add new ones; this is useful for system updates or feature announcements.

• Plans: Define subscription tiers. Each plan lists its monthly/annual price, minutes provided, status (active/inactive) and whether it’s the default plan. Administrators can add new plans or adjust existing ones.

• Add‑Ons: Create optional add‑on packages such as extra minutes or premium character builder features.
  

Tips for Effective Use

• Write clear scripts: The quality of your AI video heavily depends on the script. Use natural language and break long sentences into shorter phrases for better lip‑sync and pacing.

• Match avatar: Choose avatars that fit your brand persona. For formal training, a professional avatar and neutral voice work well; for casual marketing, select an energetic character and expressive voice.

• Leverage analytics: Regularly review usage metrics to understand which videos or avatars resonate with your audience. Adjust scripts, styles based on engagement data.

• Plan minutes wisely: Paid plans include a set number of minutes; monitor your usage to avoid unexpected limits. Consider add‑ons if you need extra minutes for large projects.

• Keep avatars on brand: Use the character builder (when available) to align avatars with your company’s look and feel. Consistency builds trust and recognition.
