How to create a video ad with Talking avatar?

Turn your script into a video ad that speaks for your brand. Pick an avatar, add your words, and let Zeely bring them to life.

Written by Viktoria Green

A talking avatar video lets you run ads on your own script, or let AI write it for you. Either way, the result holds up.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Open Zeely at https://app.zeely.ai/

  2. In the left-hand menu, go to Video ads, then click Talking avatar.

  3. Choose your AI avatar. Browse the library and pick the one that fits your brand’s voice and style. You can filter by gender, age, ethnicity, mood, style, and pose to narrow it down. Once you find the avatar you like, tap Continue.

  4. Choose a product for the future video ad and click Continue

  5. Write or paste your script

    • Keep it short and clear.

    • Around 200–400 characters usually fits into a 15–30 second video. Highlight one main benefit or message.

    • If you want to polish or improve your text, you can also use the Ask AI or Rewrite buttons.

    When everything looks right, click Continue to generate your video.

  6. You can find all your generated videos in Projects under the Videos tab. To narrow them down, click All assets and choose the product you used to create the videos. You can also click the arrow on the right to sort them by Newest first or Oldest first.
