What is an AI actor?
An AI actor is a digitally generated human created with artificial intelligence to appear and perform like a real person in videos. They can speak, show expressions, and be customized in appearance, voice, and language.
AI actors are used in movies, commercials, and UGC-style content to produce videos quickly and affordably. Instead of filming with real people, creators can script scenes and generate performances on demand.
Are AI actor videos royalty-free and commercially usable?
Yes, you have the right to use the images and videos you create with your AI actors anywhere, including for commercial purposes.
Can my AI actors speak?
Yes, you can prompt Kapwing AI to have your actors speak naturally. Choose a voice for your character from our ElevenLabs-powered AI voice library, or upload recordings to create a voice clone. Then enter a prompt like "Create a video where @emily says 'Welcome to my channel!'" Kapwing AI will automatically sync your AI actor's lip movement to the speech.
Can I change the voices of my AI actors?
Yes, you can choose from our stock library of voices or create an AI voice clone by uploading voice recordings.
Which AI models does Kapwing use?
Kapwing uses leading AI models for every generation. Kapwing AI is integrated with Veo, Seedance, and Kling, so you can create multi-scene videos with the same actors. You can also design your own start frame using an AI image model like GPT Image or Google Nano Banana, then turn it into a realistic video.
Can I edit my AI actor video after generating it?
Yes. After generating a video, you can edit it in Kapwing Studio by adding subtitles, stickers, logos, overlays, B-roll, captions, and platform-specific resizing.
Can I make an AI actor from a photo of myself?
Yes. Kapwing lets you upload photos of yourself to create an AI clone, then use that AI actor in generated videos.
Can I create AI actor videos in different languages?
Yes. Kapwing supports AI actor videos in 40+ languages with lifelike voices, lip syncing, and subtitles, making it easier to localize videos for different audiences.
