    • 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 needing to add expressions other than dialogue 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 substitutions are being made (approximately 10 minutes of work).

    ■Detailed explanations for things you don't understand

    Generate 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 in addition to Vyond Go. There are AI features such as background removal of images, in addition to the features introduced below.

    ■Synthetic Voice

    The synthetic voice feature includes over 20 speakers that support Japanese. Some voices can also be adjusted for tone and pitch.

    ■Automatic Translation

    Instantly translates into 70 languages. Not only the text on the screen but also the synthesized 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.

    ■Image Generation

    ■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 (supports contemporary style only).

    ■Video to Action

    You can recreate the movements of live-action characters using Vyond characters.
