Vyond's AI Features
1. Vyond Go
With Vyond Go, you can generate animated videos with audio in just a few steps and minutes by simply entering a short prompt (instruction). The generated animation can be used as is or further edited, allowing you to create animated videos quickly and easily in an astonishingly short time.
* This feature is available to all Vyond subscribers (usage limits apply depending on your subscription plan).
2. AI Avatar
You can have any script read aloud by a human-like AI avatar. Not only can you create it in Japanese, but you can also easily translate it into other languages. You can also create custom avatars (optional), making it easy to publish videos featuring yourself, instructors, and various other people.
3. Other AI Features
Additionally, various AI features are implemented, including image generation, synthetic speech (with over 20 Japanese-speaking voices), automatic translation (supporting more than 70 languages), and character generation.
Examples of Usage
The animations you create can be output not only as video files such as MP4 and WebM but also as GIF animations, allowing you to utilize them in a variety of scenarios.
Embed in PowerPoint
By inserting videos into PowerPoint presentations, even abstract themes can be conveyed intuitively, leaving a lasting impression on the audience's understanding and memory. Furthermore, dynamic animations serve as eye-catchers, attracting attention and effectively transforming monotonous explanations.
Example: Animation introducing the benefits of DX promotion, animation illustrating customer experience, etc.
Embed in your website
By placing animations on product or service introduction pages, visitors can instantly understand "what benefits are offered." Videos in a story format where characters perform operations or provide explanations are more memorable, directly leading to increased inquiries and purchases (conversions). Of course, videos created with Vyond can also be used on YouTube and for advertising distribution.
Examples: Animation introducing the benefits of IT products, success story animations, etc.
*The video at the beginning of this page was also created and embedded using Vyond.
Embed in e-learning (iSpring, Articulate, etc.)
By incorporating animations into e-learning materials, learners can virtually experience "failure cases" and "key points for success" through stories.
Introducing an instructor character helps enhance understanding while maintaining concentration, significantly improving learning outcomes.
Examples: Security incident case animations, instructor (narrator character) animations, etc.
Example of Articulate Storyline (Implementing branching choices in Storyline for Vyond animations)
