Turn any product asset into a polished, on-brand video with HeyGen's AI Product Placement Video.

Works for ecommerce, UGC ads, social content, and multi-market launches.
Features of AI product placement video
Product image and avatar upload
Upload a product photo and a face photo — your own or a sample — and HeyGen combines them into a presenter video that highlights your product. The product image should be 720p or higher with the product front and centre. The avatar image needs a clearly visible face. No studio setup, no green screen, no filming required.
Script-driven product narration
Add a script to your product video and HeyGen generates synchronized narration in your avatar's voice. Write or paste copy describing your product's features, benefits, or call to action, and the AI matches the audio to the presenter's on-screen delivery. Available in 175+ languages with AI voice cloning and lip-sync for global campaigns.
Combined image generation
After uploading your product and avatar photos, HeyGen generates a combined visual that places the presenter alongside the product. Review the composite before proceeding to the full video render. This step lets you verify the pairing looks right before committing to the full production.

Frequently asked questions
What is an AI Product Placement Video and how is it different from CGI?
An AI Product Placement Video is a video ad where your product is digitally placed into a realistic, AI-generated scene rather than physically filmed in a studio. You upload a product photo, HeyGen's AI builds an environment around it with accurate lighting and depth, adds motion and narration, and renders a finished video. The result looks like a professionally filmed product ad without any physical production.
How realistic is the final placement compared with a real photoshoot?
HeyGen's rendering engine matches lighting direction, shadow placement, surface reflections, and spatial scale to the generated environment. Products are integrated into scenes at the pixel level, not layered on top. The output is designed to pass the quality threshold of paid ad platforms and product listing pages where viewers expect polished, studio-grade visuals.
Can I use my own scene or only the stock library?
Yes. You only need a product photo, which can come from a render, a manufacturer sample image, or a 3D mockup. This makes AI Product Placement Video especially useful for pre-launch campaigns, crowdfunding promotions, and product announcements where physical inventory is not yet available for traditional shoots.
Does it handle multiple products in a single video?
There is no fixed limit. You can generate dozens of variations by changing the scene environment, narration language, and visual style. This makes it practical to produce a full set of ad creatives for A/B testing from one product image, all within a single session.
Can I produce product videos in multiple languages?
Yes. Write your script once and HeyGen generates narration in 175+ languages and dialects with natural pacing and pronunciation. You can also clone a specific brand voice and apply it across every language version. Combined with localized captions, one product placement video becomes a complete global advertising asset without re-recording or re-filming anything.
How long does it take to create a product placement video?
A traditional product video shoot requires renting a studio, hiring a photographer and crew, sourcing props and set design, filming multiple angles, and editing in post-production. That process typically costs thousands of dollars and takes days or weeks. AI Product Placement delivers comparable visual quality from a single product photo in minutes at a fraction of the cost, and every variation or update is free of reshooting.
Can I batch many product videos for a catalogue?
HeyGen exports product placement videos in MP4 format. The aspect ratio of the output matches your source product image, and the resolution is adjustable for each render. Subtitles can be exported as SRT files for accessibility and platform compliance.
How much does AI Product Placement Video cost on HeyGen?
HeyGen offers a free plan with no credit card required that lets you explore the product placement workflow and generate videos. Paid plans starting at $24 per month unlock higher-resolution exports, longer video lengths, voice cloning, and access to the full library of scene templates and visual styles.
How do I keep every variant clearly on brand?
Yes. The videos HeyGen generates are designed for commercial use across all major ad platforms. Output meets the technical specifications for Meta Ads, Google Ads, and TikTok Ads Manager, including resolution, aspect ratio, and file size requirements. You own the output and can publish it directly to your ad accounts.
Can I use generated product videos in paid ads and retail?
Set up a brand template with your logo, colour palette, fonts, intro and outro cards, and preferred visual style. HeyGen applies these settings to every video you generate, ensuring a unified look across your entire product catalogue and campaign. Updates to the template propagate to new renders without rebuilding existing videos from scratch.
