🚀 Introduction

With Custom Avatar, you can upload your own consent and lipsync videos to create a personalized speaking avatar within the Creatify platform. This feature is designed for users who want to go beyond default personas and introduce custom characters for more control and brand alignment.

🧾 Step 1: Submit a Custom Avatar Request

➡️ Option A – Upload Files Directly

Use the POST /api/personas_v2/ endpoint to upload your custom avatar assets as files.
This must be a multipart/form-data request.

✅ Required Fields

  • lipsync_input – MP4 file used for lipsync training (e.g., a person speaking plain text)
  • creator_name – Name for the avatar (e.g., “James”)
  • gender – Gender identifier (e.g., “m”, “f”)
  • video_scene – Context or background category (e.g., “office”)

📤 Example Curl Request

🎬 Ensure both video files are valid formats: video/mp4 or video/quicktime

➡️ Option B – Provide File URLs

Use the POST /api/personas/ endpoint to submit URLs to your consent and lipsync videos instead of uploading files.

✅ Required Fields

  • lipsync_input – Publicly accessible URL to the lipsync MP4 file
  • creator_name – Name for the avatar (e.g., “James”)
  • gender – Gender identifier (e.g., “m”, “f”)
  • video_scene – Context or background category (e.g., “office”)

📤 Example Curl Request

🌐 The URLs must be publicly accessible so Creatify can retrieve the video files.

  • You can retrieve your avatars using GET /api/personas_v2/
