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.

Before

  • Your tutorial needs a presenter, but you prefer to stay off camera
  • A still avatar cannot gesture while you explain
  • Rebuilding a character for every episode breaks continuity

With Halcyone Maker

  • Edit a dress-up mascot to fit your channel
  • Try your narration free for 20 seconds before choosing Plus
  • Save the character and studio setup for the next episode

How it works

1

Make your presenter

Start with Honey Bear. Adjust the face, colors and clothes, then keep the same look across your videos.

2

Add one short explanation

In Clip → Voice, choose Audio file, Play voice example, or type a Script with Plus. Preview the mouth and gestures; fit the speaking take to your audio when needed.

3

Record and assemble

Choose MP4 for social posts and YouTube, or a green-screen MP4 to key out in your video editor. Export with Plus, then add the clip, slides and captions in your video editor.

A script to try

Today, we will turn a complicated idea into three simple steps. First, let us look at the example on screen.

Start in 16:9. Keep the mascot away from the area where your slide text will sit. Choose transparent only if your editor supports WebM alpha.

After your first export

  1. Test the exported WebM in your editor before recording the whole lesson.
  2. Position the presenter beside your slide content and add captions.
  3. Save your character; for the next episode, reopen it and choose a new audio file.
Follow the voice guideChoose the right background

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.

Will transparency work in my editor?

That depends on support for WebM alpha. Test a short export first. If transparency is not supported, record a greenback for chroma key or use a solid background. MP4 exports directly with a solid background; transparent areas are saved on white. Use WebM if you need transparency.
