Build a polished 60-second talking-head video with an AI avatar, a few generated b-roll cutaways, and transcript-based editing. No camera, no crew, no editing background.
By the end you have a finished video on screen: your face, your words, no camera and no studio booked.
Most first attempts with AI avatars stall in the uncanny valley. The mouth drifts, the delivery sounds like a robot reading, and the result feels too fake to publish. The cause is almost always the script and the settings, not the tool.
This course treats your laptop as the whole studio. You learn the three kinds of AI video and when each fits, write a script built for the ear instead of the page, put a believable face on it, and diagnose exactly why a clip looks fake so you can fix it. Then you generate the shots you cannot film, cut the whole thing by editing the transcript, and build the workflow that turns one good video into a steady output.
You walk away with a published AI avatar video plus a repeatable script-to-cut process you can run again for every video you need next.
Founders: want to show up on camera consistently without booking time to film or hiring a crew.
Marketers: need a fast way to produce talking-head and explainer clips that do not read as obviously synthetic.
Creators: want to scale output by editing words instead of timelines and reuse one system across every clip.
