Getting started is easy! You have two convenient ways to access the AI Characters feature:
Through the main navigation sidebar - simply click "AI Characters"
From your home page journey:
Start by clicking "Create New Video"
Select the "AI Character Videos" template
You'll be automatically directed to the AI Characters page
Let's begin your character creation journey! Follow these simple steps:
Once you're on the AI Characters page, locate and click the "New Character" button
You'll be presented with an initial setup form where you can:
Select your character's gender
Choose their ethnicity
Give them a unique name
Click "Start" to begin bringing your character to life
Now comes the exciting part - designing your character! This process is broken down into four key stages:
This is where your character truly takes shape. Use our comprehensive character design form to define every aspect of your character:
Name and basic demographics
Physical characteristics including:
Age range
Ethnicity
Hair type and color
Body type
Eye color
Facial features
With your character's features defined, it's time to bring them to life visually. You have two powerful options at your disposal:
AI Generation: Click "Generate Image" to create AI-generated images based on your specifications. Our advanced AI will interpret your character design and create multiple variations for you to choose from.
Personal Upload: Already have a specific look in mind? Use the "Upload Image" option to provide your own photos. This option is particularly appealing as it doesn't consume any of your credits!
Now comes an important decision point in your character's development. Take time to review the generated images and select the one that best captures your vision. During this stage, you can:
Click any image to select it as your character's base image
Use the convenient "Download All" button to save the complete set of generated images as a ZIP file
Rest assured knowing you retain full rights to all generated images
This is where the magic happens! We'll train a custom AI model specifically for your character. Here's how it works:
Click the "Train AI Model" button to begin
In the training dialog, you'll see:

Click "Start Training" to begin the process
The training phase is where your character truly comes to life. Here's what you need to know:
The process typically takes 45-60 minutes to complete
You'll receive an email notification when your character is ready
Once training is finished, you can immediately start generating custom images and video clips
Congratulations! Once your character's training is complete, a world of creative possibilities opens up. You can:
