This blog will provide a detailed introduction to Vyond's AI features and how to utilize them.

2. What is "Vyond Go" that allows you to easily create animations with AI?
Vyond Go is an AI feature that allows you to generate animated videos with voiceovers in just a few minutes by simply entering a short prompt (instruction).
* This feature is available to all subscribers of Vyond (usage limits apply depending on the subscription plan).
• Output Example 1: Explanatory Format
• Output Example 2: Conversational Format
The two animations above are shown as they were generated by Vyond Go (without any modifications). What do you think? There may be some phrasing that is a bit concerning, and you might have various ideas such as wanting to replace characters, change to a different voice, or add captions.
The generated animations can be used as they are if there are no issues with the content, or you can make various edits, allowing you to create original animations surprisingly quickly and easily.

3. How to Utilize Vyond Go
How can Vyond Go's animations be utilized? We will introduce some reference examples.
■Generation of Introduction Animation
Add introduction animations to existing presentations:
In Vyond Go, you can load attachments (.txt, .docx, .pptx, .pdf) in addition to prompts (instructions). Example: I instructed the production of animations to be played at the beginning of the presentation by loading materials that introduce our educational business.
*This is generated in the "whiteboard animation" style. After generation, changes to the voice script and the addition of our company logo are made (this takes about 10 minutes of work).
■Generation from Completion Dialog
Since the conversation (dialogue) is already prepared, it can be animated as is:
If you want to prepare the script in advance or if you already have a script for another purpose, there are limitations such as being able to automatically generate up to 2 characters, and expressions other than dialogue need to be added through separate editing, but you can generate an animation that reads it aloud as is.
*This is generated in a 'business-friendly' style. Changes to the voice character and character replacement are being made (approximately 10 minutes of work).
■Detailed explanations for things you don't understand
Generating animations on topics you are not very familiar with:
You can have generative AI think and create even on topics that are not your specialty.
* Please make sure to thoroughly review the generated results and verify the information!
POINT: The responsibility for the generated results lies with us, who utilize generative AI. Please ensure to conduct a review involving someone knowledgeable and make necessary corrections to the content.
This time, instead of generating a video directly with Vyond Go, we took the approach of organizing the story in advance with ChatGPT. By using ChatGPT, which allows for instructions like "fix this," we can organize the overall flow and the message we want to convey, ultimately reducing editing time.
4. Other AI Features
Vyond has various AI features implemented besides Vyond Go. In addition to the features introduced below, there are AI functions such as background removal for images.
■Synthetic Voice
The synthetic voice feature includes over 20 speakers that support Japanese. Some voices can also be adjusted for tone and pitch.
■Machine Translation
Instantly translates into 70 languages. Not only the text on the screen but also the synthetic voice created in Vyond is automatically translated, and the voice is regenerated.
■Image Generation
You can generate objects including background images, items, and animals using AI. As of December 2024, there are six styles and options for backgrounds or objects available, but more styles are planned to be added in the future.
■AI Avatar
You can generate AI voice from scripts and have it read by an avatar. Not only can you create it in Japanese, but it can also be easily translated into other languages.
■Character Generation
Generate characters based on photos of people (supporting contemporary style only).
■Video to Action
You can recreate the movements of live-action characters using Vyond characters.
