Can I generate AI videos with avatars?
Absolutely. Use the AI Video tool to create branded videos featuring avatars that speak your script. You can upload your logo, select a background, choose a voice accent, and adjust settings like autoplay or forced completion. These videos help bring your content to life — without the need for filming or editing skills.
AI Video
Coursebox's AI Video feature allows you to create branded, engaging videos directly within your course. Customise everything from avatars and scripts to voice accents and backgrounds — no video editing skills required. These AI-generated videos help personalise your content and improve learner engagement.
The steps are:
Click the AI icon and select Videos.
Choose your avatar
You can choose from Available Avatars:
Browse the pre-built avatar library.
Click an avatar to select it.
The preview will update instantly.
You can also Create Your Own Avatar:
Select Create your own Avatar.
Upload a clear front-facing image.
Coursebox will generate an animated avatar based on the likeness.
Add and edit your script
Write the script that you would like your avatar to say when the learner plays the video. The script will be AI-generated from the content on the current page, and you can edit it as you wish.
Select the voice you wish to use (also on the script editing page). Voices are not tethered to the AI avatar you've chosen — you can match any voice with any avatar.
