• •Digital Avatars: Build interactive character animations for gaming and entertainment
• •Social Media Content: Create dynamic talking-head videos for social platforms
• •Multilingual Content: Generate videos with synchronized translations

Prompt Tips and Output Quality

• •Use clear, high-quality reference images for optimal avatar animation
• •Craft detailed prompts describing desired emotional expressions and speaking style
• •Enable prompt enhancement for more balanced and natural expressions
• •Consider using "high" quality setting for client-facing content
• •Experiment with different seeds to find the most appealing animation style
• •Keep audio inputs clean and well-articulated for better lip-sync results

FAQs

How do I achieve the best lip-sync quality? Use high-quality audio input with clear articulation and enable the high-quality setting. Ensure your reference image shows a clear, front-facing view of the face.

Can I control the speaking style and expressions? Yes, through detailed prompts and the enhance_prompt parameter. Describe the desired emotional state and speaking style in your prompt for more precise control.

What image formats work best with Speak v2? While the model accepts image URLs, using high-resolution, well-lit, front-facing photos will produce the best results. Ensure the face is clearly visible and centered.

How can I ensure consistent results across multiple generations? Use the seed parameter to maintain consistency. The same seed value will produce similar animation patterns when other inputs remain unchanged.

What's the maximum video duration possible? The model supports durations of 5, 10, or 15 seconds, with longer durations available for more extensive content needs.

Speak v2: How to Use Effectively

Speak v2 is a state-of-the-art speech-to-video generation model that turns your static image and audio into a lifelike, lip-synced avatar video. Follow this guide to master the key parameters, tailor the settings to different scenarios, and produce polished results every time.

1. Preparing Your Inputs

• •input_image (URL): Use a clear, high-resolution, front-facing portrait. Well-lit and centered faces yield the most natural animations.
• •input_audio (URL, MP3): Choose clean, well-articulated recordings. Avoid background noise or abrupt volume changes to maintain precise lip-sync.

2. Core Parameters

3. Use Case Presets

1. •Corporate Spokesperson
   • •prompt: “Introduce our new product with confident tone.”
   • •quality: high, duration: 10s, enhance_prompt: true, seed: 1234
2. •E-Learning Instructor
   • •prompt: “Explain the concept of photosynthesis with enthusiasm.”
   • •quality: high, duration: 15s, enhance_prompt: true, seed: 5678
3. •Social Media Influencer
   • •prompt: “Share a quick style tip in a friendly voice.”
   • •quality: mid, duration: 5s, enhance_prompt: false, seed: 42

4. Optimization Tips

• •Prompt Detail: Include emotion and pacing cues (e.g., “calmly,” “energetic”).
• •Image Selection: Avoid glasses reflections or extreme head tilts.
• •Audio Quality: Record in a quiet room with a pop filter to ensure clear consonants.
• •Batch Testing: Run brief 5s clips (mid quality) to preview different seeds before finalizing.
• •Consistency: Lock the seed parameter when creating multi-segment videos to keep style uniform.

5. Best Practices

• •Start with default settings (quality=high, duration=5, seed=42).
• •Gradually tweak one parameter at a time to understand its impact.
• •Review outputs frame-by-frame to catch subtle lip-sync mismatches.
• •Store successful parameter sets as templates for rapid reuse.

By following this guide, you’ll harness Speak v2’s full potential—creating professional, expressive avatar videos that captivate your audience.
