Exploring Genything
...
You can think about the Genything home screen as 4 sections, which can be broken down easily based on the scenario. For instance:
I want to create a PRESENTATION featuring BRENDA in the IVORY HALL talking about THE FUTURE OF AI in an EDUCATIONAL style.
Let’s explore each one.
Section 1 – Content Type
This first section is where you can choose what kind of content you would like to create.
...
For some content choices, you can choose a different export option than what may originally be chosen. For instance, if you chose Instructional mode, but actually just need a video not a SCORM export, that option is still available to you.
Section 2 – Avatar
Genything comes pre-loaded with stock avatars. You can choose from:
...

Section 3 – Environments
Genything also comes with a selection of venues, rooms, and backgrounds.
...
There is also the option to use the original background which is useful if you would like to feature your real background. Additionally, a green background is useful for chromakey for producing content for further processing in external video editing software
Section 4 – Topic and Delivery Style
This is the section where you can add a document, URL, or a prompt. You can choose to change the estimated time of the session, too. Choosing from the 6 pre-configured delivery styles or creating your own custom style will inform the way that the script is written when you press the ‘Genything’ button.
...
Please note: This field is not a prompt in the same way that you may have experienced with tools such as Bing and ChatGPT. You can write the name of the topic and omit any additional prompt instructions.
Creating a SynthMe
Pressing the ‘Create SynthMe’ button will open a new window. In this new window, position yourself as close to the frame as you can to create the best digital twin of yourself possible. When you are ready, click on the record button and speak naturally for the designated time.
...
Press ‘Clone’ to finalise this process and after cloning is complete, you will find your digital twin available to use in the My Twins tab on the Avatar area of the Genything home screen.
Creating a Genything Project
Once you have chosen your Content Type, Avatar, Venue, and Topic, press the ‘Genything’ button.
...
Preview — If there is no video generated for the entire presentation, ‘Preview’ will generate audio and video for all the slides and start playback in the Genything Preview window. If there is at least one slide with generated video, you will be asked if you would like to generate only the remaining non-generated slides or generate and overwrite everything.
Recording Content Using the Genything Preview Screen
Similar to the last screen, the Genything Preview Screen shows the slide thumbnails, along with a large view of the generated content. There are buttons for ‘Record’ and ‘Play’, along with a mute button above the progress timeline.
...
The ‘Speaker’ button will change to a camera sequence that focuses on the Speaker. The ‘Speaker + Content’ button will change to a camera sequence that focuses on the Speaker and the screen content. The ‘Content Mode button will change to static camera view of the content with the option to show or hide the Speaker as mentioned above.
The Editor button shown at the bottom-right corner of the screen will open the Genything Editor window. The ‘Start vCam’ button will allow the video output of Genything to be used in video conferencing applications such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom.
...
Please note: The first time this button is pressed, Genything will prompt you to install a virtual camera extension and ask you to allow using this virtual camera in System Settings.
Export Options
Once you have finished recording your session, Genything will present you with the available export options.
...
Once you have personalized the quiz how you desire, you can press the ‘Generate’ button to generate the questions and answers.
You can view the questions and the answers with the correct answer identified by an asterix.
...
You can close this window by pressing the red button in the top-left corner. You can then click ‘Save…’ to create a zip file containing all of the assets needed to deploy the quiz.
