Hello, everyone. Welcome to HeyGen Tutorials by HeyGen. Have you seen our new public avatars? Blake, Edward, Austin, Leah, and more will soon appear in our avatar library. Today, Edward and I will guide you through using public avatars in HeyGen.

How to Use Public Avatars in HeyGen

Step 1: Accessing the Avatar Library

Go to HeyGen main page and click the 'Avatar' tab. Below it, you will find the avatar library full of public avatars ready to use.

Step 2: Exploring Public Avatars

In the avatar library, explore all public avatars in Avatar Pro. These models and actors gave permission to use their avatars, so there are no copyright problems. You can create videos with these avatars and upload them on YouTube or social media for your video marketing.

Step 3: Choosing an Avatar

Pick your favorite avatar from the library. You can then create an avatar template or create video directly

Step 4: Creating a Video

Click 'Create video' to go to the video editing page. You will see many video templates here.

Step 5: Using Predefined Templates

Choose a video template that fits your needs. Custom video marketing strategies include templates with avatars and video backgrounds. After picking a template, it opens as a new scene. To change avatars, click the scene and select your avatar.

Step 6: Customizing Your Video Backgrounds

If the ready-made templates do not match your needs, you can do your own avatar customization. The scene with only the avatar is like a blank canvas where you can upload your own video backgrounds or images.

Step 7: Adding Text and Using ChatGPT Script Optimization

Type your script in the box. You can click the icon to use ChatGPT for script optimization. You can also translate your script using the translation feature. Next to the text box is where you pick your voice.

Step 8: Voice Selection from the Voice Library

Click on "HeyGen's voice library" to find many voice options. You can filter by language, gender, age, and voice type. If you want, upload your own audio or record your voice to link to avatar animation.

Step 9: Exploring Avatar Animation View Modes

Public avatars in HeyGen support three view modes for avatar animation: close-up, half-body, and circle view. Close-up and half-body have transparent backgrounds that fit your video backgrounds. Circle view has a round shape and fixed background color, but you can change it.

Step 10: Adding Video Captions and Text

Add titles, subtitles, and body text with the Text feature on the editor. To add a video caption, finish rendering your video, then click it to add captions.

Note: We suggest adding images showing models signing contracts and sample videos to better explain avatar animation.
