Our presenter model

Turn one photo into a presenter who talks

StartVid takes a photo and a script and films that person saying it, with natural head and hand movement. It runs on GPUs we manage and is built into Talking video, where it makes the lowest-priced talking videos on StartupAid.

Made with StartVid

Each one started as a single photo. Turn the sound on to hear the line it was given.

Why it looks like a person talking

Head, shoulders and hands

Presenters nod, glance and gesture as they talk, so they look like someone speaking, not a moving mouth.

Lip sync built in

The mouth is made with the picture, not reshaped afterwards.

Long scripts

A long script is filmed in parts and joined into one video, in the same voice throughout.

For every screen

720p for phone, desktop and square videos.

Never stuck

If a part fails on StartVid, it's made again on another presenter model automatically, at the price you saw.

The lowest price for talking video

Priced per second, shown before you render, and refunded if a video can't be made.
