Understanding how different uploads influence and overwrite each other:
Key Priority Rules
- Video > Image — Video always overwrites image for likeness
- Image = Auto-Prompt — Images auto-generate persona, making manual prompts optional
- Voice — When uploaded, replaces auto-generated voice
- Prompt — Required only when no image/video provided
Upload Combinations
| Combination | What Happens |
|---|
| Prompt Only | Generates likeness, voice, and movement from text description |
| Image Only | Uses image for likeness, auto-generates persona and voice |
| Voice + Image | Image for likeness, voice for speech patterns |
| Video + Voice + Prompt | Full character control — video for likeness, voice for speech, prompt for personality |
Best Practices
Start simple. Upload an image for instant results, or use prompts for creative characters. You can always add voice or refine later.
- Prompts Only — Good for creative/fictional characters
- Image Only — Instant avatar from photo (no prompt needed)
- Image + Voice — Realistic character recreation
Common Issues and Fixes:
| Issue | Fix |
|---|
| Poor lighting in images/videos | Use photo editing to improve lighting |
| Background noise in audio | Record audio in quiet spaces |
| Multiple people in frame | Crop images to show only target person |
| Excessive movement in videos | Keep movements subtle and natural |
