AI Actors in Arcads are realistic digital people who deliver your script on camera with lip sync, facial expressions and gestures. They are based on real actors who agreed to have their likeness used and are paid for it.
What you can do
Browse the actor library and filter by age, gender, type and situation
Choose a talking model: Arcads 1.0 for fast, high-volume work, Audio-Driven for a performance driven by your own voiceover or a script with a library voice, or OmniHuman 1.5 for expressive video matched to the mood of the audio
Create a custom actor from a prompt, an image or a video (1,600 credits, once). Custom actors are private to your workspace
Clone yourself from a video of at least 2 minutes, and clone your voice (free on Pro and above, 80 credits on other plans)
Add expressive gestures and emotions with the Gestures preset
Use Skin enhancer to give AI images photorealistic skin before you animate them
Swap the person in an existing video with Replace Actor, keeping the script and timing
