Questions from the recording week

Will students know it is an avatar?

Tell them. A line in the course description or the intro lecture is enough, and the script and examples are still yours. Coursera and School of AI publish their avatar lessons openly.

Does it work with Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, Udemy or my LMS?

Yes. You download a standard MP4 and upload it like any recorded lecture. Nothing on the platform side changes.

Who can render videos with my likeness?

Only your account. Your avatar starts with a consent video you record yourself, and HeyGen removes an avatar on request.

Do I see the script before the video exists?

Yes. Nothing renders until you approve the script, and you can download the script with the MP4.

What happens when the material changes?

Edit the lines that changed and render again. No studio day, no matching the old lighting.

What does it cost?

You can sign up and draft for free. Plans and limits are on the pricing page.
