Users can edit videos step by step using natural language to swap backgrounds, fix lighting, or add effects without starting over.
Personal avatars let users create a digital version of themselves from a selfie and short voice recording to deliver typed messages.
Access to personal avatars is currently limited to users 18 and older in certain regions, and avatars are restricted to the account holder's own likeness.
Every video generated includes an invisible SynthID digital watermark so people can verify it was created with AI.
