## Kaltura VOD Avatar Studio API

The VOD Avatar Studio lets you create pre-recorded avatar video presentations programmatically. You can select an AI avatar, write scenes with narration text, optionally use AI to compose scripts from existing video content, and generate a professional video of the avatar delivering the content. The generated video is saved as a standard Kaltura media entry.

**Base URL:** `https://video-avatar.$REGION.ovp.kaltura.com/api/v1` (default region: `nvp1`)  
**Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer $KS` header  
**Format:** JSON request/response  

**Widget URL:** `https://unisphere.nvp1.ovp.kaltura.com/v1` (for browser embedding)

This guide covers two integration paths:
- **Server-side API** (sections 4–10) — Full programmatic control over avatar videos: create, compose, generate, manage  
- **Widget embed** (section 11) — Drop-in browser UI for end users via the Kaltura embeds framework  

For **real-time conversational avatars**, see the [Conversational Agents](/docs/conversational-agents/conversational-agents) or [Live Avatar SDK](/docs/conversational-agents/agentic-avatars-sdk/prerequisites).
