Tutorial: creating a realistic Doubao avatar from shoot to on-camera prompts

On 2026-11-06 at 13:37, the Chinese developer community site Juejin published a tutorial titled "Doubao Real-Person Avatar Tips: The Full Workflow from Shooting to On-Screen Prompts". The piece walks readers through creating a real-person avatar with Doubao, the AI assistant developed by ByteDance, so that someone can appear to star in a video without actually sitting in front of the camera. According to the summary, it is written as a hands-on, step-by-step guide rather than a conceptual overview: it begins with shooting and recording the source footage of the person who will be replicated, and stresses the need to keep the shooting environment consistent so the avatar stays convincing across clips. The second half focuses on prompt design for the on-screen appearance, including how to write prompts that make the avatar look like a real performer, and closes with a list of pitfalls to avoid, such as details that commonly break the illusion. The stated goal of the tutorial is to let readers produce AI-led videos in which an avatar that looks genuine acts as the protagonist. The source material available so far consists of this single Juejin article, so no other outlets' coverage, user feedback, or follow-up developments could be verified, and it is not yet clear from the materials whether the workflow has been independently tested or how widely it has been adopted.
