What are the best practices for voice generation?

Revid.ai provides specific tips for optimizing voice generation quality. To access these tips, look for the “Tips on voice generation” modal that appears in the AI Talking Avatar interface. The key recommendations include: 1. Use short and punctuated sentences - This helps the AI deliver more natural-sounding speech with appropriate pauses and intonation. 2. When generating voice, [text between brackets] will be ignored but can be used to guide the AI with media generation - These notes won’t be spoken but help the system understand context. 3. Use <break time="1.0s" /> tags to mark specific pause durations in the generated voice - This gives you precise control over timing. 4. Use breaking lines to force slide separation and media changes - This creates natural transitions between different segments of your video.
The interface also provides a helpful script example showing how to implement these practices, with sample text demonstrating how to use directional cues in brackets (like “[close-up of a cat]”) paired with spoken text.

How do I create or clone a custom voice?

You’ll need to provide a detailed description of the voice and sample text, then the AI will generate a voice matching those specifications. 2. “Voice Clone” - This option allows you to create a voice that mimics a specific existing voice, typically by providing audio samples of that voice. This is useful when you want to maintain consistent voice branding or replicate a particular speaking style.
Both options are accessible from the same modal but serve different purposes depending on whether you’re creating a new voice or trying to match an existing one.

General Features and Navigation

How do I view example outputs for each video type?

For any video creation type (AI Talking Avatar, Article to Video, etc.), look for the “Output Example” section on the right side of the interface. This section includes an eye icon and displays a sample of what your final video might look like, including visual style, captions, and formatting. This preview helps you understand what to expect from the selected creation tool before generating your own video.

How do I see more tools than what’s initially displayed?

At the bottom of the row of video creation tools (Short Video Generator, YouTube Long to Shorts, etc.), you’ll see a button labeled “Show More Tools” with a downward arrow. Clicking this button expands the selection to show additional video creation options that weren’t visible in the initial toolbar. This helps keep the interface clean while still providing access to all available creation tools.

What is the difference between “Show More Tools” and “More options”?

These are two different expansion controls in the interface: 1. “Show More Tools” - Located below the row of video creation type buttons at the top of the page, this expands to show additional video creation tools beyond the initially visible options. 2. “More options” - Found within the customization section of specific creation types, this expands to show additional customization settings for your current video project.
Each controls a different aspect of the interface, with the first affecting which tools you can access, and the second determining which customization options are visible for your current project.

Where can I find help with the interface?

Throughout the Revid.ai interface, look for: 1. Information icons (small “i” in a circle) next to various options, which provide contextual help about specific features. 2. Explanatory text below most options that describes what each setting does. 3. Notes with lightbulb icons that provide tips and suggestions. 4. “Output Example” previews that show what to expect. 5. The “Feedback” button in the bottom right corner of every page, which allows you to submit questions or report issues.
These resources provide guidance as you navigate the interface and use the various video creation tools.

Media Options

What media types are available for my videos?

Revid.ai offers four primary media types that you can select for your videos. To access these options: 1. Click on “Choose media type” in the customization options section. 2. A modal titled “Choose Your Media Type” will appear with these options:
  • Stock videos: High-quality stock footage for your videos. This option uses professional pre-recorded video clips that match your content.
  • Moving AI images: AI-generated images with motion effects. These are still images created by AI that include subtle animation effects to make them more dynamic.
  • AI video: Generate unique video clips using AI. This option creates completely AI-generated video footage based on your script.
  • Your own media: Upload media and Revid will auto-select what makes the most sense for your video. This option allows you to provide your own content and the AI will determine the best placement.
Each option includes a preview thumbnail showing the style of visuals it produces.

How do I choose an image generation model?

When using AI-generated imagery in your videos, you can select different quality levels for the AI model: 1. In the customization options, look for a section titled “Pick your image generation model” or a similar modal that appears when configuring media settings. 2. You’ll see three primary options:
  • Base: Costs 1 credit per image. Described as “Most cost-effective generation model.” This is suitable for basic content where premium quality isn’t essential.
  • Pro: Costs 4 credits per image. Offers “Good prompt adherence and overall quality.” This mid-tier option balances quality and cost.
  • Ultra: Costs 16 credits per image. Provides “Great prompt adherence and overall quality.” This is the highest quality option for professional-grade results.
Each model includes example images showing the quality difference between the options. Some generation styles may be labeled with “Pro Model” badges, indicating they require at least the Pro tier to use.

What generation styles are available for AI imagery?

In the customization options section, below “Choose media type” and image model selection, you’ll find a section labeled “Choose a generation style” that offers different aesthetic approaches for AI-generated imagery: 1. Gorgeous Details: Photorealistic imagery with fine details. 2. 3D Render: Three-dimensional rendered images with depth and texture. 3. Aura: Stylized imagery with ethereal lighting effects.
Each style is represented by a visual thumbnail showing examples of the aesthetic. Some styles may be labeled with “Pro Model” badges, indicating they require the Pro tier or higher to use.

How do I specify a general mood or theme for AI-generated media?

In the customization options section, look for a text input field labeled “Specify a general mood” or similar. This field appears below the generation style options and allows you to enter descriptive text (like “dark mood”) to guide the AI in creating visuals that match a specific atmosphere or emotional tone. This helps ensure consistency across all generated images or videos in your project.

How can I specify characters to appear in AI-generated media?

In the customization options section, below the mood specification, look for a section labeled “Specify characters” that displays character thumbnails. This feature allows you to select specific character types or appearances that should be featured in your AI-generated visuals. Click on character thumbnails to include them in your media generation instructions. This helps maintain character consistency throughout your video.

Script Creation and Formatting

What’s the most effective way to format my script for AI talking avatars?

For optimal results with AI talking avatars, format your script following these guidelines available in the “Tips on voice generation” modal: 1. Keep sentences short and properly punctuated for natural speech patterns. 2. Use [brackets] for directional notes that shouldn’t be spoken but guide the media generation. For example: [close-up of a cat] Did you know how to make viral videos? [cat playing with a ball] First, you need to grab the viewer's attention. [cat chasing a laser pointer] Then, you need to keep them engaged. [cat sleeping] Finally, you need to make them share it. 3. Add pauses with <break time="1.0s" /> tags, where the number specifies the pause duration in seconds. 4. Insert line breaks between major points to force media changes, creating visual variety in your video.
These formatting techniques help the AI understand both what to say and how to visually represent your content, resulting in more engaging videos.

How do I add timed pauses to my script?

To add precise pauses in your script: 1. Position your cursor in the script where you want the pause to occur. 2. Insert the tag <break time="X.Xs" /> where X.X represents the number of seconds for the pause. 3. For example, <break time="1.0s" /> creates a one-second pause, while <break time="2.5s" /> creates a two-and-a-half second pause.
This feature is especially useful for creating dramatic pauses, giving viewers time to absorb information, or synchronizing with visual elements. You can see examples of this formatting in the script box and in the “Tips on voice generation” modal.

How do I guide media generation without affecting the spoken content?

To provide direction for visual elements without those directions being spoken in your video: 1. Add text in square brackets [like this] within your script. 2. For example, writing “[close-up of a cat]” before a sentence will guide the AI to display a cat close-up while speaking the text that follows. 3. As explained in the “Tips on voice generation” modal, these bracketed instructions “will be ignored but can be used to guide the AI with the media generation.”
You can see examples of this formatting in the script example provided in the tips modal, where instructions like “[cat playing with a ball]” and “[cat chasing a laser pointer]” are used to guide the visuals while the actual spoken content focuses on making viral videos.

How do I control media changes in my video?

To control when the visual media changes throughout your video: 1. Use breaking lines (line breaks) in your script to force slide separation and media changes. 2. As explained in the “Tips on voice generation” modal, each separate paragraph after a line break will trigger a new visual. 3. For example, in the script box, the text shows “Break line to force generation of a new media” indicating that pressing Enter to create a new line will signal the AI to transition to new visual content.
This technique gives you control over the pacing and visual storytelling of your video, ensuring that media changes align with your narrative structure.
