Step 01
Provide the character and sound
Upload the drawing, illustration, or photo, add the line or audio reference, and use @ to mark what each image should guide.
Talking Drawing
VideoAI turns artwork, a talking photo, or a talking image into a speaking character video while you choose the lines, sound, camera motion, and rhythm.
Who Plans Talking Drawing Videos
Talking Drawing Artists
When your character already exists as a drawing, VideoAI lets you add dialogue, audio direction, and camera notes so the scene reflects your intent.
Explainer creators
Turn a drawn presenter into a short explanation by writing the message, assigning reference images with @, and setting the pace by second.
Brand teams
Use a mascot or brand illustration as the character reference, then create versions for vertical, square, landscape, or 4:5 video placements.
Shape Talking Drawing Scenes With Control
When a talking drawing needs to match a creator brief, decide the image references, speech, scene rhythm, and output ratio before generation.
Talking Drawing Voice Direction
Start with a drawing, illustration, or front facing photo, then add dialogue, AI voice direction, or uploaded audio as the speaking reference.
@ reference roles
Tell VideoAI which image is the subject, scene, first frame, camera movement, or character reference so each asset has a clear job.
Second by second pacing
Arrange what the character says and how the shot changes across short segments, which helps a talking drawing carry a clear story or explanation.
Reusable character references
Use several drawings of the same character to keep visible traits connected across shots, especially for recurring mascots or illustrated presenters.
From Sketch To Talking Drawing
Build the video in a clear order, from image reference to preview, text revision, extension, and MP4 download.
Step 02
Describe the speaking shot
Write how the character opens, what the camera does, and how the scene changes, then split by second for tighter control.
Step 03
Preview, revise, and download
Generate a version up to 30 seconds, refine it with text, extend from the current video, and download MP4 up to 4K.
Where Talking Drawing Helps Creators
Use the same workflow for short character pieces, campaign assets, explainers, and support clips.
Talking Drawing Shorts
A finished character sheet can become a short speaking scene, with reference drawings guiding the same person across multiple shots.
Course and explainer clips
Creators can let a drawn presenter deliver a compact lesson by pairing the script with paced visuals and camera instructions.
Mascot campaign videos
A brand mascot can speak in vertical, square, landscape, or 4:5 cuts, with finished videos available without a watermark.
Support guide characters
A repeated illustrated helper can explain one task at a time, using saved workspace assets and reference images for continuity.
FAQ
Talking Drawing Questions Before Creating
A talking drawing is a speaking character video made from a static drawing or illustration, with dialogue or audio guiding what the character says.
Upload the image, mark the character or scene with @, add dialogue or audio, describe the camera and timing, then generate and refine with text.
A drawing can guide a speaking character video, while a front facing photo can guide mouth movement with the supplied sound.
VideoAI starts with 10 credits for video generation, and account login is required before you generate, so you can test a talking photo workflow before planning a longer piece.
You can upload audio as a generation reference or add AI voice direction so the character video follows the intended speech and pace.
Multiple reference drawings can carry recognizable character traits across shots, which helps recurring presenters, mascots, and story characters feel connected.
Download an MP4 up to 4K in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or 4:5. Generated videos have no watermark and can be used commercially, while you remain responsible for rights to uploaded artwork and audio.
After previewing the result, use text instructions to revise the current video or extend it from the existing version.
