AI Video Generator

What is HeyGen's AI Video Generator?

HeyGen's AI video generator turns a script, URL, or creative idea into a finished video, without a camera, crew, or editor. Write what you want, avatars perform it, B-roll fills it in, voiceover narrates it, and captions sync to every word. The whole thing runs in a browser tab.

Features

Everything you need from an AI Video Generator

Prompt to finished video, all in Video Agent

Skip the blank canvas. Describe the AI-powered video you want, and Video Agent handles scripting, scenes, avatar, voice, pacing, and captions. Available in HeyGen, ChatGPT, and via API. Start from 100+ templates for ads, social media, demos, and explainer videos, or generate AI videos from a URL, PDF, or deck. The fastest way to produce a polished video when you need it instantly.

Cinematic B-roll with the best AI video generators

The best AI video generators on the market are integrated directly into the editor: Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, and Kling 3.0. Pick the right model for the shot, drop a video clip into your scene, and keep working. No extra subscription, no second login, no exporting and re-uploading. Turn simple text into cinematic video, animate AI-generated images with first- and last-frame locks, or generate AI videos for product moments and lifestyle shots without leaving the workflow.

The most realistic avatars, powered by Avatar V

Avatar V is HeyGen's newest avatar model. Record yourself once on a webcam for 15 seconds. Avatar V learns how you move, gesture, and speak, then performs in any outfit, any setting, any look, with phoneme-level lip sync in 175+ languages and dialects. Use a stock avatar, create a digital twin of yourself, or animate a still photo with Avatar IV.

Direct your video shots like a filmmaker

Pick a lens. Choose a move. Stack them. Dolly, push, orbit, crane, or handheld with real depth of field and natural parallax. Advanced controls give you a seamless transition between shots. Drop in a reference clip, and the AI matches the pacing, gestures, and choreography. Add a description of the mood and tailor the visual look without writing a 200-word prompt. The closest thing to a real film camera without one.

Add voices, sound, and captions in one place

Layer in AI voiceovers in 175+ languages and dialects, clone your own voice, or one-click sync any character to any audio. Drop in licensed music, create sound effects from a text prompt, and auto-caption every clip with frame-accurate subtitles. Save them as SRT or burn them in.

Edit videos in AI Studio, no reshoots required

Upload existing footage to AI Studio and change the visual style, swap an object, re-light a scene, or refine details, all from a text prompt. Frame-level control when you want it. AI does the rest when you don't. The full editor sits next to the generator, so you move from rough cut to polished asset without switching tools.
