## What it does

talking-head-video sends requests to each::sense AI to make presenter videos from a written script, a portrait, or an audio track. It can animate a still image, match mouth movement to existing speech, and shape the presenter’s delivery with different expressions.

You can describe a corporate spokesperson, training instructor, news anchor, or product explainer in the request. Supported outputs include portrait 1080x1920, landscape 1920x1080, and square 1080x1080 video up to 60s; headshot output is 720x720 for up to 30s.

The request uses the `EACHLABS_API_KEY` header with `https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions`. The API key is required for the request to work.
