Hello, I am Honey Bear. Let us make something together. We can pause, take a breath, and explain the next idea. Thank you for watching.
With Halcyone Maker
- Reuse a saved character with a different audio file
- Frame the face and hand gestures in 9:16 before recording
- Keep the clip focused on one idea, with room for captions
How it works
Write one useful line
Start with a brief hook, one point and a closing line. Make an audio file using your own recording workflow.
Preview in a vertical frame
Open the speaking character, choose your audio and preview. Check that the face and hands stay inside the 9:16 guide throughout the gesture.
Finish for your platform
Export voice and motion as MP4 with Plus for social posts, or a green-screen MP4 to key out in your video editor. MP4 has no transparency. Add captions and other footage in your editor if needed.
Try a short creative tip
A script to try
Here is one way to make your next idea clearer. Show one example, explain one change, and stop there.
Use 9:16 and check the hands at the widest gesture. A solid background is a simple starting point; add captions after export.
After your first export
- Play the whole clip to check the face and hands are not cropped.
- Add captions with enough space around the character.
- Export the final file from your editor in a format accepted by your publishing platform.
Questions
What can I try for free?
Customize the character and preview up to 20 seconds of an audio file without an account. Silent MP4, WebM, GIF, PNG and GLB are basic exports: the first needs no account, and a free account makes them unlimited. Voice-driven exports and microphone input require Plus or Pro.
Is this automatic lip sync?
The mouth responds to audio volume, with quieter moments closing the mouth. It does not create phoneme-by-phoneme mouth shapes or generate a voice. Upload audio you have permission to use, or try the built-in example.
Can I upload the file straight to every social app?
Choose MP4 for social posts and YouTube. MP4 has no transparency; transparent areas are saved on white. For a video editor, choose Video editor in Clip → Export to save a green-screen MP4 you can key out; transparent WebM suits OBS and web pages. Check your destination’s current size and length limits.
