How do I turn text into video with an AI avatar?

Turning text into video is not a production project; it is a five-step sequence. All you need is the final script and a decision about who speaks it.

Short answer

You write the script in the editor or import it from a document, a PDF or a presentation.
You pick the avatar that speaks it and the voice, with the language and pace that fit the message.
You apply the brand kit — logo, colours, font, background, subtitles — and hit “Generate”.
Generation usually takes a few minutes for a 1–3 minute video.
You publish the video by link, by embedding it in your site or as a downloaded file, then update it by editing the script.

The steps, in order

Prepare the final text. Write short, spoken sentences, not procedural clauses.
Pick the avatar: one from the gallery for speed, or your brand avatar for consistency.
Pick the voice and language, then listen to a preview and adjust the pauses where needed.
Apply the brand kit and add subtitles, generated from the same script.
Generate, review with your team in comments and publish the approved version.

Which text sources you can use

A script written directly in the editor — the option with the best control over pace.
An existing document or PDF: a procedure, a manual, an internal guide.
A presentation: each slide becomes a scene, with the spoken text taken from the slide notes.
An article or a web page, when you want the video version of an already published text.

How long it takes, realistically

Writing and cleaning up the script: the longest part, from 20 minutes to a few hours depending on the subject.
Choosing the avatar and the voice: a few minutes, if your brand kit is already saved.
The generation itself: usually a few minutes for a short video; a long video takes proportionally longer.
Translating into another language: you regenerate the same scene on the translated script, so none of the steps above are repeated.

Common mistakes

Pasting a written procedure straight into the script. Text written to be read sounds stiff when spoken.
Generating a 15-minute video for a topic that fitted into three short modules.
Skipping the audio preview before generating, then discovering the wrong pace at the end.
Publishing without subtitles, even though many viewers watch with the sound off.

How 4avatars helps

In 4avatars the script, the avatar, the voice and the brand kit live in the same project, so the second version costs a text edit, not a new production. The video is updated through versioning, without changing the link you already shared, and translation into other languages happens from the same project.
