# Face Clone

> Create a custom digital face clone to maintain a consistent presence across all your Velo video projects.

Velo allows you to create a custom face clone to use across your video projects. This feature enables you to maintain a consistent digital presence without needing to record new footage for every message. You can choose to use public faces or build a personalized version of yourself.

## Accessing the Face Clone Gallery

**Step 1:** Select **Face clone** from the left-hand navigation panel.

**Step 2:** On the **Face Clone** dashboard, select the **Create face clone** button.

## Customizing the Background

Once your picture is captured, the system provides several options to refine the look of your VeloTwin. You can browse through various environmental presets - such as an office setting, by selecting **Change Background**. If the initial capture isn't ideal, select **Retake** to try again. When satisfied with the preview, select **Continue** to save the clone.
