What’s new

Meet New Stock Avatars — professional speakers that can now take action from a single prompt. Prompt their outfit and background, and when you need to show something, generate a short B-roll of the same avatar performing it — powered by Veo 3.1.

Avatars can now walk, demonstrate, cook, or wave to the camera — all from one prompt.

Why it’s amazing

We learn best when we hear the explanation first — then see it in action. That’s exactly what these new avatars let you do: combine talking and action shots in one flow to boost understanding, retention, and engagement — all while saving time on filming or switching between tools.

Explain first, then show — just like in real life. Perfect for:

  • Training & how-to videos
  • Product explainers & sales demos
  • Industry simulations or safety procedures

How to use it

  1. Pick a new Avatar — choose one of the six new Stock Avatars.
  2. Prompt their outfit — describe it in detail if needed.
  3. Prompt the background
  4. Add action — generate a short B-roll clip of your avatar performing a task with Veo 3.1.
  5. Save & reuse — store avatars in specific outfits in your avatar library as well as save spaces to use them later.

Happy creating!
