Creating Video Testimonials from Text with Invideo

Meta Description:

A 2025 guide on how to use Invideo to turn text-based customer reviews into engaging, believable video testimonials using realistic AI avatars.

Why This Use Case Matters in 2025

Video testimonials are the most powerful form of "social proof," but they are extremely difficult to get from customers. While you may have dozens of 5-star text reviews, you have no video. As of late 2025, Invideo's "AI Avatar" feature solves this. It allows you to paste in your customer's text review and generate a realistic AI avatar to perform it, turning your static reviews into dynamic, trustworthy video testimonials.

How Invideo Simplifies Testimonial Creation

Invideo's platform is designed to create realistic "spokesperson" videos from a script, which is the perfect workflow for testimonials.

Automated Generation (Text-to-Video)

You provide a prompt that includes the text of the review and describes the customer (e.g., "a woman in her 40s in a home office"). The AI generates the complete scene with the avatar.

AI-Generated Avatars

This is the core feature. Invideo can generate a realistic, high-resolution AI avatar to represent your customer. You can choose an avatar that matches the demographic of the reviewer, making the testimonial feel authentic and relatable.

AI Script-to-Voice Performance

You paste your customer's review text as the script. The AI will then generate a natural-sounding voiceover (e.g., "friendly," "genuine," "excited") and have the AI avatar perform the lines with perfect lip-sync.

Intuitive Refinement (Text-Based Editing)

After the first draft, you can "direct" the avatar. Use simple text commands like, "Change the avatar to a 'man in his 20s' in a 'living room,'" "Make the avatar's tone 'more excited,'" or "Add a '5-Star' graphic on screen."

Step-by-Step Workflow

Step 1: Get Your Review Text

Copy the exact text from a 5-star customer review.

Step 2: Write the Prompt

Describe the "customer" and paste the review as the script.

  • Example Prompt: "Create a 20-second video testimonial. Use a friendly, female AI avatar in her 30s in a home kitchen. Her tone should be genuine and happy. Here is her script: '[Paste the customer's 5-star review text here].' Add a text overlay with the customer's name: 'Sarah K. - Verified Buyer.'"

Step 3: Refine with Text Commands

Use simple text commands to add credibility.

  • "Upload our logo and add it to the corner."
  • "Make the avatar smile more when she says the best product ever!"
  • "Add a text overlay of five stars at the bottom."

Comparison: Traditional Workflow vs. Invideo

| Factor | Traditional Method | Invideo (2025) |

| :--- | :--- | :--- |

| Timeline | 2-4 months (begging customers, coordinating shoots) | 5-10 minutes (copy, paste, generate) |

| Cost | Very High (video crew, or just no content) | Low (fixed subscription cost) |

| Skill Requirement | Professional (Videographer) or (Luck-based) | Accessible for any marketer (prompt-based) |

| Revisions | Impossible | Instant and text-based; create 10 different testimonials |

Expert Tips for Better Results

  • Get Permission: Always get permission from your customer before using their name and review text in a marketing ad.
  • Match the Avatar to the Customer: Use prompts to create an avatar that logically matches the reviewer. If the review is for a "fitness product," prompt for an "athletic-looking" avatar.
  • Use "Authentic" Tones: In your prompt, ask for a "genuine" or "authentic" voice tone, not a "salesy" one. This makes the testimonial more believable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this a real customer?

A: No. It is a hyper-realistic, AI-generated digital human (an avatar). It is performing the words of a real customer review, giving you the best of both worlds: a real, authentic script and a high-quality, professional video.

Q: Can I use the customer's actual review text?

A: Yes. That is the primary workflow. You paste the text from your 5-star review directly into Invideo, and the AI avatar will perform it as a script.

Q: How do I make it look trustworthy?

A: By using a prompt for a "genuine" or "authentic" voice tone, and by adding text overlays (like the reviewer's name and "Verified Buyer") to add social proof.
