What HeyGen does

The quickest route in HeyGen is Video Agent: type a prompt and it returns a finished video you can still edit. For more control, AI Studio works like a text editor, where the script sets tone, delivery, gestures and emotion for avatars running on the Avatar V and Avatar IV models. Videos can also start from images, audio files, or PowerPoint and PDF decks.

A custom video avatar uses your own likeness and voice, and HeyGen requires on-camera identity verification from the person depicted before one is made. HeyGen Voice handles voice cloning and text to speech. Video Translation carries a video into 175+ languages and dialects with voice cloning and lip-sync, which suits re-releasing your own content for new audiences.

Auto captions, B-roll and a Brand Kit cover finishing work, while teams can comment, tag and edit together. Developers can call APIs for Video Agent, video generation, translation and lip-sync. Paid plans run on a monthly credit allocation: Creator lists 600 credits and Pro lists 1,000.
