Your Sixth Day in MITO: Put a Person On Screen, Then Say It in Another Language
One image, one voice, one script. Then the same clip again in Spanish, still sounding like the same person.
Day 6 of 8 in the MITO onboarding series. See all eight days →
Day five gave you a voice. Today puts a face in front of it, then makes that face speak a language it does not speak.
Avatar Studio
One image of a person, plus a voice, plus a script, comes back as a talking video.
Before anything else. Only make an avatar of yourself, or of someone who has given you permission. The walkthrough says it at thirteen seconds in, which is roughly how important it is.
Avatar Studio, a minute and a half.
Open it. Plus menu in the toolbar, then Avatar. It is also in the left menu under Apps.
Pick the image. My Assets for something already in your project, or Select to upload. The example uses Maya, a woman generated in MITO. Name the avatar, click Create avatar, and it comes back with its orientation set, landscape or portrait.
Pick the voice. Explore searches the library by name, gender or accent and previews each one. My voices holds anything you cloned yesterday. You can also clone a new voice right here from about three seconds of audio.
Write the line. Under Script, type exactly what the avatar should say. The credit cost sits next to Generate. If you have a real recording instead, switch Script to Audio and attach it.
Generate. Resolution is in settings. The result lands under Takes, and from there it copies into the project, downloads, or shares.
If you want the longer version of this, including getting a usable image of yourself in the first place, there is a full guide to making an avatar of yourself.
Then say it in another language
You do not remake a video to reach another audience. You dub it.
Translate and dub, just over a minute.
Click the video on the canvas, open Director, and ask: dub this video into Spanish.
What it does, in four steps. Pulls the audio out of the video. Clones the speaker’s voice from it. Writes a new transcript in the target language. Generates that transcript in the same cloned voice and syncs it back onto the picture.
The result is the same person, in the same voice, in a different language. Spanish in the example, and it handles others, Chinese included.
One rule before it ships. Have a native speaker watch it once. The voice and the sync will be right. Whether the wording is right is a different question, and not one the model can answer for you.
Before you close the tab
Make a short avatar video. Of yourself, or of someone who said yes. Twenty seconds is plenty.
Then dub it. One sentence to Director. Watch both versions back to back and notice how little is different apart from the language.
Tomorrow is the team: where work lives, and how it gets reviewed.
The short version. Image, voice, script, generate. Then one sentence to Director and the same clip exists in another language, in the same voice. Get a native speaker to check it before it goes out.
All of these walkthroughs are inside MITO too, under Tutorials in the sidebar.
Frequently asked
- Whose face am I allowed to use for an avatar?
Your own, or someone who has given you permission. That is the whole rule and it comes before everything else in the walkthrough for a reason.
- Where is Avatar Studio?
Inside a project, open the plus menu in the toolbar and choose Avatar. It is also in the left menu under Apps.
- What does Avatar Studio need from me?
Three things: an image of a person, a voice, and a script. The image can come from My Assets if it is already in your project, or you can upload one. The example uses a woman generated in MITO.
- Can the avatar use my own cloned voice?
Yes. Voices you cloned on day five appear under My voices. You can also search the library in Explore by name, gender or accent and preview each one, or clone a new voice from about three seconds of audio without leaving the panel.
- Can I use a real recording instead of typing a script?
Yes. Switch Script to Audio and attach the recording.
- How do I know what an avatar video will cost?
The credit cost sits next to the Generate button before you run it, the same as every other generation in MITO.
- Where does the finished avatar video go?
Under Takes. From there you can copy it into your project, download it, or share it.
- How do I dub a video into another language?
Select the video on the canvas, open Director, and ask it to dub the clip into the language you want. Plain language is enough: dub this video into Spanish.
- What is Director doing when it dubs?
Four steps. It pulls the audio out of the video, uses that audio to clone the speaker’s voice, writes a new transcript in the target language, generates the new audio in that same cloned voice, then syncs it back into the original video.
- Which languages does it handle?
More than the example. The walkthrough does Spanish and mentions Chinese among others.
- Should I ship a dub without checking it?
No. Have a native speaker watch it once before it goes out. The voice will be right and the timing will be right, but that is not the same as the wording being right.
