Creating an Ideal AI Webcam Template
Learn how to create the ideal 720p MP4 template video for CANVID’s Synthetic Webcam. Follow best practices for lighting, framing, length, and movement to generate a more realistic AI avatar.
When using CANVID's AI Webcam, you can create your own Avatar template. The ideal input is a 20–30 second, 720p (16:9) MP4 video of yourself looking directly into the camera.
The best results come from a natural, relaxed recording:
- Small head and facial movements are encouraged
- Natural eye blinks are important
- Light mouth and facial muscle movement is fine
- Avoid speaking if possible
Here is an example of an ideal short 720p webcam recording made using XSplit Broadcaster, but you can also use tools like OBS, or any other camera app.
