Creating a video avatar that moves like you, gestures like you, and expresses emotion the way you do is now possible with HeyGen. The Digital Twin workflow powered by Avatar IV takes a short video of you and transforms it into the most advanced personal avatar yet. It doesn’t just replicate your appearance, it captures your body language, facial expressions, and natural performance style, then adapts those qualities to any script you write.
Most avatars rely on preset gestures or simple head movements to match the text on screen. A Digital Twin is different. Because it’s trained on your real footage, it understands the subtle details that make your communication unique, an eyebrow raise, a pause before an important point, the way your hands emphasize what you’re saying. These details carry over into every video, so your avatar feels authentic and consistent, not generic.
When you create a Digital Twin in HeyGen, you can use it in any project. Open the editor, add your avatar, and switch to the Avatar IV model. From there, write your script as you normally would, or upload an audio file if you prefer to guide delivery with your own voice. The system intelligently adapts your avatar’s gestures, facial expressions, and even full-body movements to align with the rhythm and emotion of your script. Once you generate, you’ll have a video that feels as if you were there presenting it yourself, without stepping in front of the camera every time.
The best part is that your Digital Twin is reusable. Once it’s created, you can generate unlimited videos with the same authenticity and presence. Whether you’re training a team, pitching a product, or delivering a message at scale, your Digital Twin makes it possible to show up for your audience with the same energy and personality you’d bring in person.
With Avatar IV, being present no longer requires being on camera. Your AI-powered self is always ready to deliver the message.
