Videos with a 3D character, no animating required.
By the Olo Studio team · Updated
Short answer
With Olo Studio you write (or paste) a dialogue in the “Name: text” format and Olo, a 3D character, acts it out by itself: it moves its mouth in time with every word, picks gestures and camera shots based on the emotion of each line and adds animated subtitles. You only choose its look and the set, and export a 9:16 video. No animation skills and nothing to install.
Step by step
- Open olomni.com/studio and pick a ready-made story or write your script, one line per message:
Olo: Did you see what she posted? - In Look, choose the set (lofi, podcast, newsroom, courtroom…), plus Olo’s accessory, color and finish.
- Press play: Olo acts out every line with its voice, gestures and camera.
- Adjust anything in director mode (each line’s pose or shot) and press Export.
What Olo decides by itself
- Voice and mouth: every word moves the mouth with its sound.
- Gestures and pose: depending on whether the line is a question, a surprise or good news.
- Camera: close-up, medium shot, crash zoom or handheld.
- Subtitles: word by word, with the spoken word highlighted.
To make it look professional
- Short lines: one idea per message.
- A hook in the first line, for the first two seconds.
- A set that tells where the story happens before anyone speaks.
