How to make better video content using Veo?

Different AI video generators have their own strengths. Ones like Sora and Veo are great at creating realistic and imaginative scenes from text instructions. They produce high-quality visuals and immersive scenes, which are perfect for projects needing detailed videos and rich animations. However, their digital actors aren't quite there yet when it comes to lifelike speech.

AI Studios, on the other hand, excels at creating AI avatars that can speak naturally through advanced text-to-speech (TTS) technology. While their visual immersion might not match Sora and Veo, they deliver realistic and engaging speech, making them perfect for conveying messages.

To get the best of both, use Sora or Veo for your background scenes and add an AI avatar from AI Studios as the focal point. This way, you combine the strong visuals of scene-heavy generators with the lifelike communication abilities of AI avatars, creating content that looks great and feels engaging.

๐Ÿ’ก Prompt: Timelapse of the northern lights dancing across the Arctic sky, stars twinkling, snow-covered landscape
