Elai AI Talking Avatar
Elai (elai.io), part of Panopto, is a talking-avatar studio: type a script, pick a presenter, render a slide video. Public pages list 80+ avatars, 75+ languages, and 300+ standard voices. Support: each slide can hold up to 300 seconds of audio at render. Free plan: 1 minute of render, up to 3 slides, speech per slide capped at 60 seconds. Export: 1080p Full HD; 4K on Team. ImgToVid does not run Elai; the generator on this page drafts on Seedance 2.5.
01 — Capabilities
A presenter studio, not an 8-second prompt model
Public Elai pages sell a slide with a talking avatar. Three hundred seconds is a slide audio cap. One minute on Free is a render quota, not every take.
01
Eighty-plus avatars read the script
Homepage: 80+ video avatars from real-actor footage, or a custom selfie avatar on higher plans. Type speech text, upload a voice file, or run the slide silent. The job is a presenter, not a blank cinematic prompt.
02
300 seconds per slide; Free stays at 60
Voice-library support: each slide supports up to 300 seconds of audio at render, or a voice file no longer than 300 seconds. Free plan: 1 minute of render across the account, up to 3 slides, speech per slide cannot exceed 60 seconds. That is a quota, not a one-shot generate length.
03
1080p on Creator; 4K on Team
Pricing: Creator lists Full HD. Team lists Ultra 4K HD. Formats: 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. Free copy also names 1080p or 4K export — 4K is a Team row, not every plan.
04
PPTX, a URL, or a storyboard in the same builder
Homepage: PPTX-to-video, article/URL-to-video, AI Storyboard, screen recorder, branching and quizzes. 75+ languages; voice clone listed in 28 languages. This site does not open that studio.
02 — Prompt to output
Prompts that match the clips above
Each prompt describes the picture on its card. “Use this prompt” sends that text to Create. The generator on this page runs Seedance 2.5, not Elai.
- 01 · Portrait
PromptClose-up of a young man with curly hair in a grey knit sweater, soft window light. He glances away, then smiles. Slow push-in, shallow depth of field.
- 02 · Product
PromptA white leather sneaker on a pale grey studio backdrop, soft diffused light. The camera orbits slowly. Stitching stays sharp, the look stays minimal.
- 03 · Street
PromptA slow dolly down a cobblestone lane in an old European village. Climbing roses on stone walls, café tables in morning sun, a few people walking in the distance.
- 04 · Character
PromptA young woman with shoulder-length brown hair in an olive t-shirt, late-afternoon gold light. She turns her head and looks off. Breeze in her hair, a handheld feel.
03 — Where it fits
Jobs a talking-avatar studio is selling
Public pages point at a presenter reading a script on slides. They do not sell one Elai-branded 8-second prompt model for every job.
A training or marketing presenter
Pick an avatar, paste the script, render. Length follows the slide audio cap and your monthly minutes. Picture is 1080p, or 4K on Team.
A PPTX or article turned into slides
Upload a deck or paste a URL. That run stays inside Elai.
A one-shot cinematic prompt
Elai does not sell that as the core job. Official copy starts from a script and an avatar. This page does not open the studio either.
A draft shot on ImgToVid
Write the shot here. Seedance 2.5 carries the prompt into Create. Membership and credits are checked there.

05 — Side by side
Elai, Veo 3.1 and Kling 4.0
Elai is a talking-avatar slide studio. Veo 3.1 and Kling 4.0 numbers below are from those vendors’ public docs — they are one-shot generate models, not an Elai monthly minute quota.
06 — How it works
Start a clip on ImgToVid
Step 1
Describe one shot
Subject, action, camera. Elai will not be the model that runs it.
Step 2
Use the generator on this page
It runs Seedance 2.5, because Elai is not offered here. The prompt and the settings carry into Create.
Step 3
Generate in Create
Membership and credits are checked there. Coming back to this page does not switch the model over to Elai.
07 — FAQ
Elai, in plain terms
What is Elai?
Elai is a talking-avatar studio at elai.io, part of Panopto. You type a script, pick a presenter, and render slides. It lists 80+ avatars and 75+ languages. It is not a first-party 8-second prompt model. ImgToVid does not host Elai.
How long is an Elai clip?
Support lists up to 300 seconds of audio per slide at render. Free: 1 minute of render, up to 3 slides, speech per slide capped at 60 seconds. Paid plans sell monthly minutes. Those caps are not one generate take on this site.
Does Elai generate audio?
Yes — the avatar reads speech text, or you upload a voice file. Library: 300+ standard voices; Team adds premium voices. Voice clone is listed in 28 languages. That is studio audio inside Elai, not an Elai-branded one-shot soundtrack on ImgToVid.
What picture size can I export?
Creator lists Full HD. Team lists 4K Ultra HD. Free copy names 1080p or 4K; 4K is a Team row. Aspect: 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1.
Can I generate Elai videos on ImgToVid?
No. The generator on this page runs Seedance 2.5 so you can draft a shot. Elai is marked coming soon.
Can I use the results commercially?
Commercial use of anything you generate on ImgToVid depends on your plan. Check Pricing and our Terms before you publish, and make sure prompts and uploads do not infringe someone else’s rights.
