Creating your first project in HeyGen is where ideas turn into finished videos. The platform is designed to make the process fast, intuitive, and accessible, whether you’re brand new to video creation or already an experienced storyteller. With everything you need in one place, avatars, voices, media, and music, you can build professional-quality videos without complicated editing tools or long production timelines.
Start by logging into HeyGen and heading to your dashboard. Click Create Video, then choose Avatar Video to begin. You can start from scratch or use a template. Templates are a great way to speed up production, giving you pre-designed layouts that you can customize with your own content. Once you’ve made your selection, open the project in AI Studio, where all the creative tools live.
Next, choose your avatar. The Avatar tab lets you pick from a wide range of styles, Instant, Photo, or Studio avatars, each suited for different types of content. From there, you can personalize your project by adding visuals like stickers, shapes, icons, or uploaded media. Every element can be adjusted and arranged directly on your canvas, giving you complete creative control.
Your script and voice are what bring the story to life. Click on the existing text in the script panel to edit or replace it. You can assign any voice from HeyGen’s library or record your own voiceover for a more personal touch. If you’re using avatars, the selected voice will automatically sync with their performance, producing a natural and realistic delivery.
When your scenes are in place, preview your video to make sure everything flows smoothly. You can rearrange clips, refine transitions, or adjust pacing before finalizing. Once you’re happy with the result, click Submit to render your video. After processing, it will appear in your library, ready to download, share, or publish anywhere you need.
HeyGen’s project workflow is built to help you create efficiently without sacrificing quality. From the first line of your script to the final export, every step is streamlined, so you can focus on the story you’re telling, not the tools you’re using.
