CraftStory launches low-cost AI avatar video generator
CraftStory is an AI-powered platform for generating hyper-realistic, human-centric videos designed for Learning & Development (L&D), podcasts, and user-generated content (UGC). Built by the team behind OpenCV and Itseez3D, CraftStory allows users to generate talking presenter videos from a single photo or train custom digital avatars using a 15-second video clip. The platform utilizes a proprietary AI model trained on professional actor footage licensed through revenue-sharing agreements, delivering expressive, high-quality video content at an accessible rate of 4.5 cents per second.
CraftStory sets a compelling baseline for affordable and ethically licensed human avatar video generation by leveraging deep computer vision expertise from OpenCV's creators.
