belt login

# Recommended: P-Video-Avatar (fastest, cheapest, built-in TTS)
belt app run pruna/p-video-avatar --input '{
  "image": "https://portrait.jpg",
  "voice_script": "Hello, welcome to our product demo!",
  "voice": "Zephyr (Female)"
}'

| Model | App ID | Best For | Built-in TTS |

Cost & Speed Comparison

| Model | Speed (per sec of video) | Cost per second |

|-------|-------------------------|----------------|

| OmniHuman 1.5 | ~28s/s (15x slower) | $0.16 (6.4x more) |

Examples

Generate avatar from portrait + text script with built-in TTS:

belt app run pruna/p-video-avatar --input '{
  "image": "https://portrait.jpg",
  "voice_script": "Welcome to our product walkthrough. Today I will show you three key features.",
  "voice": "Puck (Male)",
  "voice_language": "English (US)",
  "resolution": "720p"
}'

With custom style control:

belt app run pruna/p-video-avatar --input '{
  "image": "https://portrait.jpg",
  "voice_script": "This is exciting news!",
  "voice": "Aoede (Female)",
  "voice_prompt": "Enthusiastic and energetic tone",
  "video_prompt": "The person is presenting on stage with dramatic lighting",
  "resolution": "1080p"
}'

With audio file instead of TTS:

belt app run pruna/p-video-avatar --input '{
  "image": "https://portrait.jpg",
  "audio": "https://speech.mp3"
}'

Full Workflow: Generate Portrait + Avatar

Use Pruna P-Image to generate the portrait, then create the avatar:

# 1. Generate a portrait image
belt app run pruna/p-image --input '{
  "prompt": "professional headshot portrait of a young woman, neutral background, looking at camera, studio lighting, photorealistic",
  "aspect_ratio": "9:16"
}'

# 2. Create avatar video with built-in TTS
belt app run pruna/p-video-avatar --input '{
  "image": "<image-url-from-step-1>",
  "voice_script": "Hi there! Let me walk you through our latest features.",
  "voice": "Zephyr (Female)"
}'

OmniHuman 1.5 (Multi-Character)

belt app run bytedance/omnihuman-1-5 --input '{
  "image_url": "https://portrait.jpg",
  "audio_url": "https://speech.mp3"
}'

Supports specifying which character to drive in multi-person images.

Fabric 1.0 (Image Talks)

belt app run falai/fabric-1-0 --input '{
  "image_url": "https://face.jpg",
  "audio_url": "https://audio.mp3"
}'

PixVerse Lipsync

belt app run falai/pixverse-lipsync --input '{
  "image_url": "https://portrait.jpg",
  "audio_url": "https://speech.mp3"
}'

Full Workflow: TTS + Avatar (Non-TTS Models)

For models without built-in TTS (OmniHuman, PixVerse), generate speech first:

# 1. Generate speech — Inworld TTS-2 for expressive character voices
belt app run inworld/text-to-speech-2 --input '{
  "text": "[friendly] Welcome to our product demo! [excited] Let me show you three features that will change how you work.",
  "voice_id": "Sarah",
  "delivery_mode": "CREATIVE"
}' > speech.json

# 2. Create avatar video with the speech
belt app run bytedance/omnihuman-1-5 --input '{
  "image_url": "https://presenter-photo.jpg",
  "audio_url": "<audio-url-from-step-1>"
}'

> Tip: For most use cases, P-Video-Avatar with built-in TTS is simpler — no separate audio step needed. Use this workflow only when you specifically need OmniHuman (multi-character) or PixVerse (realistic lipsync).

Full Workflow: Dub Video in Another Language

# 1. Transcribe original video
belt app run infsh/fast-whisper-large-v3 --input '{"audio_url": "https://video.mp4"}' > transcript.json

# 2. Translate text (manually or with an LLM)

# 3. Generate speech in new language
belt app run infsh/kokoro-tts --input '{"text": "<translated-text>"}' > new_speech.json

# 4. Lipsync the original video with new audio
belt app run infsh/latentsync-1-6 --input '{
  "video_url": "https://original-video.mp4",
  "audio_url": "<new-audio-url>"
}'

Avatar UGC Generation

Create UGC-style content with P-Video-Avatar — built-in TTS, no separate audio step needed:

# 1. Generate a relatable UGC-style portrait
belt app run pruna/p-image --input '{
  "prompt": "casual selfie-style photo of a young woman in a cozy room, natural lighting, looking at camera, warm smile, authentic feel",
  "aspect_ratio": "9:16"
}'

# 2. Create UGC avatar video with built-in TTS
belt app run pruna/p-video-avatar --input '{
  "image": "<image-url-from-step-1>",
  "voice_script": "Okay so I just tried this product and honestly? It is a game changer. I was not expecting to love it this much but here we are!",
  "voice": "Zephyr (Female)",
  "voice_prompt": "Excited, casual, authentic tone like talking to a friend",
  "video_prompt": "The person is talking casually to camera in their room, natural gestures",
  "resolution": "1080p"
}'

Why P-Video-Avatar for UGC

  • All-in-one — built-in TTS means no separate audio generation step
  • 30 voices, 10 languages — match your target audience
  • Voice + video prompts — control tone, emotion, body language, and background independently
  • 18x faster, 6x cheaper — produce UGC at scale vs. Fabric/OmniHuman/HeyGen
  • 1080p support — platform-ready vertical video from a single portrait image

Batch UGC: Same Product, Multiple Presenters

# Generate 3 different presenters
for voice in "Zephyr (Female)" "Puck (Male)" "Aoede (Female)"; do
  belt app run pruna/p-video-avatar --input "{
    \"image\": \"https://portrait.jpg\",
    \"voice_script\": \"This changed my morning routine completely. Five minutes and I am done.\",
    \"voice\": \"$voice\",
    \"voice_prompt\": \"Casual, authentic, like a real testimonial\",
    \"video_prompt\": \"Person talking to camera in a bright kitchen\",
    \"resolution\": \"1080p\"
  }"
done

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take aiskillstore/ai-avatar-video from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
