You're so talented! Thank you for sharing. I've heard Canva can be used for covers and I tried but I was very lost and just came up with something that looked bad 😂. Thank you for the in depth tutorial!!

As a Teacher Canva is my LIIIIIIIFE. So seeing it used for other things is refreshing and makes me think on how students can use it to make their own book covers for reports. Ty for the idea!!

This is neat. Even more fascinating is how you have an avatar animated to talk for you. How did you do that?

Hello! I made a 3d vtuber with VRoid which is a free software, and then I used Animaze which is a webcam/vtuber thing that makes a virtual camera except it shows your avatar instead. Then I recorded my self talking on video and boom! I also have a few settings like the blinking and idles and stuff XD

Would a tutorial on that be something people want? I'm trying to start a VAuthor trend XD

Tutorial would be awesome. I should try this too. Not sure if I’ll use it but looks like fun. By the way, you should connect this to your YouTube and post it there too. Would help with the visibility.

I do also have a youtube channel and its already up. Here is the link if you wanna share it out side of substack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERwR_JgfvlY

My you tube is very sparse right now though XD videos take so much longer for me than just typing up an article.

And I will plan on a tutorial at some point then! Hopefully it wont need to be as long as this one XD

Subscribed! I thought if the video is on YouTube it links and shows up on Substack. I think I’m wrong. It seems like 2 independent videos.

Artiranth Fields's avatar

Thank you so much <3

I know there is a way to link it so when you post to substack it puts it up on you tube. I'm just a bit of a control freak and like to put the videos up independantly so I have full control over the descriptions. Also I think imbedding it in the substack post directly makes it easier for people to view on substack?

So like if they dont have youtube premium it wont make them watch adds and stuff.

Bhavana Varma's avatar

Oh. Yeah, that makes senses. That’s so thoughtful of you. It’s like saying “If you want to watch this video Ad free, subscribe to my Substack” which is a nice idea.
