Creating 'Community Update' Videos with Invideo

Meta Description:

A 2025 guide on how to use Invideos 'AI Avatar' feature to create friendly, personal "community update" videos for your online group.

Why This Use Case Matters in 2025

For a remote community (on Slack, Discord, or Facebook), a video update from the community manager feels far more personal than a text post. It builds connection. But filming daily or weekly updates is a major time sink. As of late 2025, Invideos 'AI Avatar' feature is the perfect tool for this.

How Invideo Simplifies 'Community' Video Creation

Invideos platform is designed to create consistent, spokesperson-led videos at scale.

Automated Generation (Text-to-Video)

You can paste your community announcement or script directly into Invideo. The AI generates a complete video.

AI-Generated Avatars

This is the core feature. You can generate a friendly AI avatar to be your consistent "Community Manager." This gives your community a recognizable face, without you needing to be on camera.

AI Script-to-Voice Performance

The AI avatar will perform your script with a "friendly," "welcoming," or "excited" voice. You can also use the voice cloning feature to have the avatar speak in your own voice for a personal touch.

Intuitive Refinement (Text-Based Editing)

After the first draft, you can use simple text commands: "Add a text overlay: 'This Week's Highlights,'" "Generate a clip of 'a trophy' to 'congratulate 'our 'winner," or "Make the music 'more 'upbeat 'and 'fun."

Step-by-Step Workflow

Step 1: Write Your Community Update Script

Write a short, friendly script for your community.

Step 2: Write the Prompt

Describe your presenter and paste the script.

  • Example Prompt: "Create a 60-second 'community update' video. Use a 'friendly female AI avatar' in a 'casual, cozy home office.' Her tone is 'friendly' and 'excited.' 'Here is her script:' '[Paste your community update script here].' Add our community logo in the background."

Step 3: Refine with Text Commands

Use simple text commands to add B-roll.

  • "In 'scene '2, 'when 'the 'script 'mentions 'our 'event, 'show 'the ''event 'poster' 'I 'uploaded."
  • "Add 'a 'text 'overlay 'with 'the 'key 'dates."
  • "Make 'the 'voiceover 'sound 'more 'energetic."
