Argil's shortcomings
- Language support
- Lip-sync matching issues: When generating Chinese videos, the degree of matching between lip movements and speech is not high enough, which reduces the naturalness and realism of the video and affects the viewing experience.
- Stiff voice and intonation: The intonation is relatively stiff and lacks the natural variation and emotional investment of a real person when expressing themselves, affecting the appeal and persuasiveness of the video content.
- Avatar types and features
- Limited types of public avatars: The number of public avatars provided is relatively small and cannot meet the needs of large-scale, diversified video creation.
- Insufficient body movements and camera angle changes: The types and variations are relatively limited, making the video appear somewhat monotonous and rigid in its presentation, lacking richer body language and camera perspective changes, and making it difficult to fully demonstrate the diversity and appeal of the video content.
- Pricing: The pricing is relatively high for ordinary creators, hindering its popularization and application among a broader user base.
