High-quality training video, without the production overhead
Elai, Panopto’s AI Video Studio, lets your subject matter experts focus on what they know—not on recording schedules, production timelines, or post-production queues. Start from a template, an existing presentation, or a plain-text prompt, and publish polished, avatar-narrated video directly to your Panopto library in minutes.
Platform add-on
AI Video Studio requires the Panopto Video CMS
AI Video Studio is a platform add-on that extends your Panopto Video CMS with AI-powered video creation. Videos publish directly to your Panopto library, searchable and tracked from day one.

What organizations are achieving with AI Video Studio
Professional video from the content you already have
Lecture slides, training decks, compliance documents, and SOPs—Elai, Panopto’s AI Video Studio, turns existing materials into polished, avatar-narrated video without a camera, a studio, or a production team. What used to take weeks gets done in minutes, and everything publishes directly to your Panopto library.
Content creation
Turn what you already have into video learners actually engage with
Speaker notes become narration. Slides become scenes. The materials your subject matter experts already use for teaching and training become polished, avatar-narrated video—without a recording session or production queue. Everything is editable and publishable directly to Panopto before you’re done with your coffee.
Avatars and voiceover
The right presenter for every audience, in every language
Learners engage more with content that feels relevant to them. Choose from 500+ diverse, licensed AI avatars and 450+ voices, clone your own voice in 28 languages, or go screen-only with voiceover. For scenario-based learning, two-avatar dialogues add realism without adding production complexity
Avatar-free video is fully supported. Slides with voiceover, screen recordings with narration, and text-and-visuals-only formats are all available. Avatars are an option, not a requirement. Choose what fits your content and your audience.
Interactivity
Give learners something to do, not just something to watch
Knowledge checks, branching scenarios, clickable buttons, and chapter navigation are built directly into the same editor where the video was created—no separate authoring tool, no LMS workaround, no developer required. Learners make decisions, answer questions, and navigate content on their own terms.
Video editing
Keep content current without starting from scratch
When a policy changes or a product updates, editing a scene is as simple as updating the script text and re-rendering that section. The rest of the video stays exactly as it was. No new recording session, no full re-edit—just the change that needs to be made, made quickly.
G2 Spring 2026 recognitions
Recognized by the people who actually use it
In G2’s Spring 2026 reports, AI Video Studio earned five recognitions. What stands out about this set isn’t the volume—it’s what they measure: how easy the platform is to get started with, how the support team responds when something comes up, and whether users would recommend it to someone else.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need any video production experience to use AI Video Studio?
No, and that’s the point. AI Video Studio was specifically built to eliminate the production barrier. You don’t need a camera, a microphone, a studio, or any video editing skills. If you can upload a PowerPoint file or type a paragraph of text, you can produce a professional video.
How does PPTX-to-Video actually work?
AI Video Studio reads both the visible slide content and the speaker notes attached to each slide. If your slides have speaker notes, those become the narration script. If they don’t, AI generates a script based on the slide content. Each slide becomes a scene in the video, with your chosen avatar presenting the narration while the slide visuals appear on screen.
How good is the translation quality?
AI Video Studio supports 75+ languages with high-quality AI translation that handles most professional and technical content accurately. Voice cloning is available in 28 languages—allowing the original speaker’s voice to narrate in each translated version.
Can I update a video if the content changes?
Yes. Because the video is generated from a script and slides, you can open any video, edit the script for a specific scene, update the slide content, and re-render that section without touching the rest of the video.
