Steps
1Choose the face
Click or drag a portrait into Import Avatar Image. Or take one from Sample below it.
2Add the audio
On Import Audio, drag in a recording between 5 sec and 3 min. Use Trim if it runs long.
3Or type a script instead
Switch to Text to Audio, type up to 1000 characters, and check Select a voice before you generate.
A voice is already chosen, so make sure its language matches what you typed. Click Change to swap it.
4Generate, then close the window
Click Generate. You can close the window while it works, and PowerDirector notifies you in the app and sends an email when it's done.
We tested these steps in PowerDirector 365 version 25.0.7 on Windows.
