Supported avatar types

studio_avatar, digital_twin, photo_avatar, image (arbitrary), prompt

Exclusive features

  • motion_prompt — a natural-language string controlling body motion and hand gestures (e.g. "walk towards the camera slowly"). Available for photo avatars and arbitrary images.
  • expressiveness — controls energy and range of movement: high, medium, or low. Available for photo avatars and arbitrary images. Defaults to low.
  • Arbitrary image support — animate any image by setting type: "image", with no registered avatar required.

Example request

Avatar IV is the default engine, so you can omit engine entirely in your POST /v3/videos request:
To request it explicitly — or to be unambiguous in code that switches engines — pass "engine": { "type": "avatar_iv" }:
Video generation is asynchronous — the response returns a video_id you poll with GET /v3/videos/{video_id}. For a full walkthrough of creating a Digital Twin video and polling for completion, see the Digital Twin guide. To compare engines, see Models; for the highest-fidelity motion, see Avatar V.
