The mainstream options include JIANYING Digital Human, Tencent Zhi Ying, Synthesia, Chanjing, and Mofayouyan, with a variety of 2D and 3D choices available.
What are their unique features, and how should one choose? Today, I’ll clarify everything for you.
1. JIANYING Digital Human
The JIANYING Digital Human is part of the JIANYING software, allowing for seamless use with other editing features. It’s very user-friendly. Just input the text, choose a digital human, set the background, shot type, and voice tone, and you can generate it with one click.
The advantage is its simplicity and ease of use.
However, the number of digital humans available is limited, and it’s not possible to further edit the details of the character. Customization is supported but the steps are complex, the voice is not very natural, and the movements are repetitive, resembling a video loop. The generated digital human videos cannot be adjusted.
JIANYING Digital Human has limited applicable scenarios and is more suitable as a “spice” in short videos.
2. Tencent Zhi Ying
Tencent Zhi Ying offers a variety of styles in 2D and 3D digital human characters, and can automatically generate characters based on user descriptions, though the characters cannot be customized.
It also provides a variety of voice tones, capable of adjusting the voice pitch accurately according to the emotional tone of the text.
In addition to the digital human function, Tencent Zhi Ying also integrates video editing capabilities, making it very comprehensive.
However, the actions of Tencent Zhi Ying’s digital humans are limited and easily repetitive. When performing complex actions or multiple action combinations, they appear stiff and unnatural. The scenes in Tencent Zhi Ying are also limited, and the digital humans do not blend well with the background, resulting in a noticeable “cut-out” effect.
Tencent Zhi Ying’s digital humans are more suitable for explaining PPTs, and they fall short in more complex application scenarios.
3. Synthesia
Synthesia’s digital humans are highly professional, making them suitable for business presentations or product introductions, showcasing a professional and authoritative demeanor. Simply input the text script to generate the corresponding video content. Changing the text allows for one-click video updates, and subtitles and music can be added as well.
Synthesia’s digital humans have rich and appropriate body language, and the voice synthesis supports multiple languages, which is very practical for multinational companies, meeting the diverse video production needs of enterprises.
However, Synthesia’s subscription fees are relatively high, making it unfriendly for beginner creators with limited budgets, and most of the digital human characters are foreigners, making it more suitable for creating overseas digital human content.
4. Chanjing Digital Human
Chanjing provides 2D digital humans suitable for domestic use, with a rich set of built-in templates. By inputting the script, you can directly generate videos using the built-in digital human templates.
Here is a compilation of effects I previously created using multiple templates.
Additionally, it supports character customization; by uploading a few minutes of video, you can clone your real self to replace yourself on screen, and in the future, you only need the script to generate voice-over videos directly.
5. Mofayouyan
Mofayouyan focuses on 3D digital humans. If you’re not familiar with what a 3D digital human is, start by watching a short video.
You can choose from thousands of characters in various styles and ethnicities for your 3D digital human.
You can even “create” a satisfactory on-screen character yourself, customizing every aspect of the 3D digital human’s facial features, makeup, clothing, and accessories.
These “on-screen actors” not only have vivid expressions and movements but can also switch between natural voice styles and different languages, ensuring your video characters have excellent and stable expressiveness.
Moreover, you can “instantly” have access to millions of dollars’ worth of “locations”.
From studios to speaking stages, classrooms, offices, and trendy streets, Youyan offers hundreds of professional-level 3D scenes in various styles and types, all equipped with realistic and natural lighting and layout, almost meeting all your video scene needs.
Finally, you can “freely” obtain a professional shooting and post-production team to complete video creation in one stop.
From wide shots, close-ups, and medium shots to frontal and side views, Youyan can automatically generate professional shooting angles and movements, and through AIGC, it can generate 3D videos of digital humans from different angles and shot types in 3D scenes, as well as complete subtitles, captions, music, and sound effects in post-production.
Inputting a text script can generate a video, and AI can also automatically generate scripts.
After the video is generated, adjustments can be made multiple times, and the actions of the digital human, as well as the scenes and shots, can be selected according to your ideas.
Mofayouyan’s digital human voices come in various styles, meeting the needs of different content types, and are better suited for multiple scenarios, such as e-commerce promotions, program broadcasts, etc.
Currently, Mofayouyan also offers over 500 editable PPT templates, which is really comprehensive.
Mofayouyan has an official user group where you can consult customer service for any usage issues, making it quite suitable for Chinese users.
