Scale video production with Text to Video AI
HeyGen turns your text into polished videos with AI avatars, voiceovers, and captions, with no camera or production crew needed. Paste a script or describe your idea, and create a ready-to-share video in minutes. Choose an avatar and voice, customize your script and visuals, add your branding, resize for any platform, and export, all in one place.
Everything You Can Do with Text to Video AI
Turn scripts into lifelike presenter-led videos
Paste a script, and the text-to-video generator delivers a finished take in minutes. Avatar V carries full upper-body movement and natural delivery on long-form scripts. Pick from 700+ avatars or build your own digital twin from a 15-second clip. Or skip the presenter and ship a voice-over only cut, visuals doing the talking.
Multilingual voice and natural narration
Generate an AI voiceover that sounds human, or use AI voice cloning to keep one presenter across markets and campaigns. Dub a single script into 177+ languages and dialects with lip-synced movement, so global teams ship the same message without re-recording any voiceovers.
Easily add AI B-roll, animations, and visuals
Skip the stock footage hunt. Name the look, minimal, cartoon, cinematic, or retro, and scene-matched B-roll builds from motion graphics, Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.0 AI video, or stock, no second subscription. Every shot ties back to your prompt.
Captions, subtitles, and global delivery
Word-synced captions and subtitles are produced automatically with the AI subtitle generator. Localize captions across 177+ languages in the same render, then add licensed music and sound effects from the library. Accessibility, sound, and reach ship as one pass.
High-quality export and 4K delivery
Export high-quality video in 4K MP4 (16:9, 9:16, or 1:1) from one project, ready for YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, or your LMS. Brand kits keep typography, colors, and logos consistent across every video cut, so a simple text prompt feeds every channel.
Real-world uses of text to video AI
Marketing teams wait weeks on edits and translations. Paste a campaign brief, pick a presenter, and generate video content for promo, product, and demand-gen.
L&D teams replace stale modules and slow reshoots with text-driven training videos. Update the script, regenerate, and push to your LMS or training workflow.
Creators rarely have a film crew. Paste a script to video prompt, pick a presenter or go faceless, and ship vertical or horizontal clips for YouTube and TikTok.
Studios and shoots stall ecommerce launches. Drop your product copy in, generate a presenter-led explainer with auto B-roll, and publish to your store, ads, and social.
Course creators ship lessons faster. Turn an outline into short videos, animated videos, and a narrated lesson with captions and translations in minutes.
Generic sales emails stall pipelines. Batch Mode turns one script list into a clip per prospect, each greeting them by name, or automate via HubSpot.
Filmmakers burn days and budget shooting scenes that a prompt can generate first. Write a script to video prompt and generate cinematic AI b-roll with Seedance.
Paste a brief, pick an approved presenter, and generate on-brand video with SSO, role-based access, and SOC 2 Type II compliance built in.

Text to video AI FAQs
How can I convert text into a video using AI?
Paste your script into the editor, pick a presenter and voice, then refine visuals, captions, and music. The AI text-to-video engine renders videos from text prompts automatically and the AI turns the script into a finished video in minutes.
What types of text can I use to generate videos?
Pretty much anything you already have written down. You can paste in a polished script, a product description, a blog post, or even a few bullet points from a meeting, and HeyGen will read the context and build a video around it. The more detail you give, the more tailored the result will be, but a rough idea is still enough to get a solid first draft you can refine.
How do I write a good text-to-video prompt?
Lead with the script or the message, because the words matter most. Add a tone line and a style descriptor, then say which media to use: motion graphics for data, AI video for ideas, stock for places.
Can I generate videos in multiple languages with subtitles?
Yes. The AI video translator dubs your video into 177+ languages with synced lip movement and auto-generated captions. Captions, subtitles, and voiceovers localize in the same render, so global teams ship one script across every market.
What is the best AI text-to-video generator?
HeyGen is the best AI text-to-video generator for presenter-led video: G2's #1 most realistic avatars, Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.0 B-roll, 177+ languages, and videos up to 30 minutes, all in one editor.
Can I use AI text-to-video videos commercially?
Yes. Videos generated on paid plans are licensed for commercial use across marketing, sales, training, and product channels. Brand kits keep logos, typography, and colors consistent, so every video ships on-brand and ready for ads, landing pages, and outreach.
Can I edit parts of a generated text-to-video?
Yes. Update the script and the AI video editor regenerates only the changed section, so you skip re-recording or rebuilding from scratch. Swap the presenter, voice, captions, or B-roll any time without redoing video editing from zero.
How long does it take to generate a video with text to video AI?
A one-minute script is usually ready in 5 to 10 minutes. Video Agent renders at about 5 to 10 times the video's length, voiceover, captions, and B-roll included, so longer scripts take proportionally longer.
Can I use my own voice or my own presenter avatar?
Yes. Record a 15-second clip and the platform builds a custom presenter and a cloned voice. Reuse both across every project so the same face and voice deliver in any language without filming again.
Can I choose a visual style, like animated or cinematic?
Yes. Name the look in your prompt, minimal, cartoon, cinematic, flat design, or retro, or attach a Brand System so Video Agent keeps colors, fonts, and logos consistent in every scene.
What inputs can AI video generators use besides text?
Plenty. Upload a PDF or PowerPoint, attach images, screenshots, or video clips as reference, or start from an audio file. Video Agent pulls the script, picks the scenes, and renders the full video.
Which AI models power text to video on HeyGen?
Avatar V and Avatar IV render the presenter, Seedance 2.0 and Veo 3.1 generate B-roll, and Nano Banana and Seedream create still images. All of them run inside one HeyGen subscription.
