Choose where a presenter helps the story

A presenter can give a video a human focal point, but it does not need to occupy every scene. Vidorio lets you choose a ready-made AI avatar, keep it on screen for the full video, or use Camera Auto to reserve it for the moments where an on-screen explanation is most useful.

That flexibility works for explainers, product walkthroughs, social videos, and faceless channels. The presenter supports the message without forcing the entire edit into one visual format.

Plan placement before spending credits

The Place it myself workflow opens with a free placement step. You can add the presenter to the exact parts you want, inspect the combined duration, and see the expected credit cost before asking Vidorio to generate anything.

Only the selected moments are generated. This makes short presenter appearances practical and gives you a predictable way to balance visual impact with production cost.

Build cleaner layers with background removal

Camera clips can remove the recorded background and keep the presenter as a compact cutout, ready to sit above footage or graphics. Still images can use the same layered approach: Vidorio detects people and objects, lets you choose which subjects to keep, and removes everything behind them.

The result is a more flexible scene rather than a fixed rectangle. Presenters, products, and visual references can be placed where the composition needs them while the main footage remains visible.

Layer subtitles behind the presenter

Subtitle layering adds depth without changing the camera shot. In the subtitle Style controls, Behind person keeps the original camera layout and places the subtitle above the rest of the scene but below the detected presenter foreground. Apply it to the whole subtitle track, or highlight specific cues first for selective emphasis.

Cut out an uploaded video

Background removal now works beyond Camera clips. Add an uploaded presenter video through Video+, open Quick edit, and choose Remove BG. Vidorio follows the person through the clip, preserves the layer's size, position, animation, and audio, and renders the same transparent foreground in the exported MP4.

Make your uploaded avatar talk

Simple avatar animates your uploaded artwork without AI generation or generation credits. Choose Facial expressions, Hand gestures and Talking independently, combine them, or turn all three off for a still avatar. Mark the mouth for talking, add both eyes for expressions, and mark shoulder, elbow and wrist joints for each arm you want to move. The cutout holds each pose for at least 3 seconds, then moves smoothly into the next over 1 second. Expressions morph and arms move through their joints. Pauses between words do not reset the pose, and talking follows the narration independently.

Clean plain background clears a matching edge colour; Cleanup strength adjusts how much is cleared. Use isolated artwork with separated arms for the cleanest cutouts, and adjust Arm cutout width and Hand cutout width to fit the highlighted areas. Solid colour is the default background. Crumpled paper, Notebook grid, Halftone dots and your own background image are optional, with a separate Animate background switch for textures. Preview motion plays a sample rhythm; the finished video follows your project narration.

How to use it

  1. Open Avatars in the editor

    With your project open in the editor, choose Avatars from the creation actions to add a presenter to the video you are working on.

  2. Decide where the presenter appears

    Select a ready-made avatar, then read the total presenter duration and the estimated credits shown at the bottom of the window before you press Generate avatar.

  4. Set up your own talking avatar

    Choose Simple avatar and upload your artwork. Under What should move?, enable Facial expressions, Hand gestures or Talking. Mark only the features those effects need: mouth, eyes, or shoulder, elbow and wrist joints. Adjust the feature and cutout widths, and use Clean plain background if needed.

  5. Preview its motion and background

    Set Hold each pose to at least 3 seconds. Each change takes 1 second of smooth movement, with no pose cuts. Keep the plain Solid colour background or choose an optional texture or image. Use Preview motion to check the result, then Add avatar. With Place it myself, place clips first and then render them. Simple avatar uses no generation credits.

    Set a camera clip to the Cutout layout to drop its recorded background and keep only the presenter above your footage.

  9. Choose the subtitle scope

    Open Subtitles, use Timing to highlight the cues you want, or leave every cue unselected to apply the setting to all subtitles.

  10. Put subtitles behind the presenter

    Open Style, find Layering, and turn on Behind person. Play through the selected moments to check the overlap; the camera framing stays unchanged.

  11. Cut out a still image

    Open the quick editor for an image clip, use Remove background, and select the subjects to keep. Choose Preview cutout and use Show original to compare. Use Keep point for missing parts or Remove point for unwanted background, preview again, then choose Keep selected.

  12. Cut out a Video+ clip

    Add a presenter video with Video+, open its Quick edit window, find Remove background, and choose Remove BG. Check the moving cutout in the preview before exporting.

What has changed over time

  1. Improved

    Make Simple avatar work without AI calls

    Simple avatar now places visible face and arm markers with local image analysis and follows your narration with local gestures, expressions and talking. Auto-mark, rendering and narration direction make no AI calls. If a feature cannot be located, the marker controls open so you can place it on your artwork.

  2. Improved

    Keep finer detail when removing image backgrounds

    Image cutouts now use a more detailed mask to better preserve hair, clothing, hands and foreground accessories. Preview the transparent result, compare it with the original, and add keep or remove points before applying it. The detailed tools are prepared on first use and reused while refining the same image.

  3. Improved

    Give presenter videos smoother, narration-led camera movement

    Use Documentary for flowing reframes or Dynamic for stronger spoken accents in Full frame and Half down. Zooms now preserve their timing when trimmed, camera style changes keep their colour and framing, and tracked cutouts stay aligned with the presenter.

  4. Improved

    Make your own avatar talk without AI generation

    Simple avatar now animates one uploaded image to your narration, with a mouth marker, independent expression and hand-gesture controls, smooth changes between poses held for at least 3 seconds, and optional moving paper, grid, or halftone backgrounds. Plain-background cleanup helps prepare your artwork, and the entire Simple avatar workflow uses no generation credits.

  5. New

    Make your own character part of the story

    Simple avatar turns your character reference into narration-aware expressions, poses, and props, adds a gently moving profile picture, or mixes both across the moments you choose.

  6. Fixed

    Camera zooms now move smoothly and in the right direction

    Slow and automatic camera zooms now use the same steady movement as image zooms, with stronger framing changes and matching editor previews and MP4 exports.

  7. Improved

    Camera Auto now moves faster without the shake

    Camera Auto now adds several narration-paced reframes inside a clip, settles cleanly before layout handoffs, and keeps presenter cutouts aligned with smooth playback at full preview detail.

  8. Improved

    Remove backgrounds from any presenter video

    Video+ clips can now keep a moving person while removing the recorded background in live preview and MP4 export, without muting the clip's original audio.

  9. Improved

    Edit every camera movement on the timeline

    Auto now shows the slow moves, quick zooms, and cuts it combined around narration beats. Add more movements to a camera clip, change their type, start, or length, and drag or trim the same moments directly in the timeline.

  10. Improved

    Put subtitles behind your presenter

    When a camera is on the timeline, you can now place every subtitle or only highlighted cues behind the cutout presenter while keeping the camera framing unchanged.

  11. Improved

    Camera moments now move with the narration

    Full frame and Half down camera clips can now use narration-aware movement: slow pushes and pulls across spoken lines, quick eased accents at commas and sentence changes, hard punch cuts for emphasis, and restrained whooshes on the SFX bus.

  12. Improved

    Add camera movement that follows the narration

    Camera clips can now add slow zooms, quick accents, or narration-aware Auto movement, with matching editor previews and MP4 exports.

  13. New

    Keep presenters framed with head tracking

    Camera Tracking now follows a presenter's head through each selected clip, smooths the movement, holds steady through brief detection gaps, and matches the saved path in preview and MP4 export.

  14. Improved

    Camera cutouts now keep pace with your recording

    Bottom-card and standalone camera cutouts now paint every decoded upload frame through the latest clean person mask, keep the presenter visible through brief detection gaps, and retain sharper production-size detail in the editor.

  15. Improved

    Head tracking now follows movement faster

    Head tracking now analyzes movement twice as often, follows deliberate motion more strongly, eases quickly into and out of reframes, and stays responsive through long clips in both preview and MP4 export.

  16. Improved

    Generate presenters only where you place them

    Place it myself now starts with a free placement step, shows the exact duration and estimated credit cost, and generates only the selected presenter moments.

  17. Improved

    Smoother, cleaner camera cutouts

    Camera background removal now follows movement at up to 30 fps in the editor, keeps each mask aligned with its exact video frame to prevent bright background trails, and preserves the selected 30 or 60 fps cadence in exports.

  18. New

    Add an AI presenter to your video

    Choose a ready-made AI avatar, place it across the whole video, or let Camera Auto use it only for the strongest moments.

  19. New

    Create cutouts from camera clips and images

    Remove the background behind a recorded presenter or selected subjects in an image, then use the clean cutout as a layer in the edit.
