Thanks to advances in artificial intelligence, video in e-learning is now instant and accessible. In just the past year, the quality of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jollydeck.com\/academy\/introducing-new-avatars-natural-relatable-trustworthy\/\">AI-generated avatars<\/a> has improved dramatically. And the progress isn\u2019t slowing down \u2014 avatars will only become more realistic, making video an even bigger part of the future of e-learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group highlight-special\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"highlight-special\">Most AI videos are produced in separate tools. With JollyDeck Create, you can generate video directly inside your e-learning authoring environment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest drawback right now? Most AI videos are produced in separate tools, forcing e-learning designers to step outside their workflow, juggle multiple tools, and pay for yet another subscription. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At JollyDeck, we want to make video creation truly convenient. That\u2019s why we\u2019re bringing the latest and <strong>most powerful text-to-video functionality directly into JollyDeck Create<\/strong> \u2014 so designers can generate, edit, and publish courses with video all in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introducing JollyDeck\u2019s new Text-to-Video feature (Beta)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jollydeck.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Safari-\u2022-Dark-Mode-ON-1024x621.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jollydeck.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Safari-\u2022-Dark-Mode-ON-1024x621.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.jollydeck.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Safari-\u2022-Dark-Mode-ON-462x280.png 462w, https:\/\/www.jollydeck.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Safari-\u2022-Dark-Mode-ON-768x465.png 768w, https:\/\/www.jollydeck.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Safari-\u2022-Dark-Mode-ON.png 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our new <strong>AI video authoring tool<\/strong> is now available in beta for all JollyDeck users. It lets you generate professional-looking video directly inside the authoring environment, with no need to leave your workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea is simple: make it effortless to create videos that look good, sound natural, and integrate seamlessly into your courses. No cameras, no editing software, no extra platforms. Just type your content \u2014 the AI does the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you can do today (Beta scope)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The beta version is deliberately simple. Right now, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create short video snippets by typing or pasting your text.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use one male and one female avatar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generate natural-sounding narration through default voices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place the generated video directly on your e-learning slides.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not feature-packed yet, but that\u2019s by design.
