How it works

How to Use the AI Video Editor

HeyGen makes AI video editing approachable, even if you have never touched a timeline before. The workflow guides you from raw footage to finished content in a few clear steps.

Step 1

Import your video or recording

Upload your footage or bring in a recording from your preferred source. The editor prepares a transcript and overview so you can see your content as both text and video.

Step 2

Choose your format and style presets

Select output formats for your channels and apply brand presets. This sets fonts, colors, and basic layout choices from the start with the best AI design practices.

Step 3

Edit using text and simple controls

Use the transcript and text level commands to cut, move, and adjust scenes. Add titles, captions, and simple transitions with a few clicks.

Step 4

Preview, export, and repurpose

Review the finished video and make small tweaks as needed. Then export your main version plus additional sizes or orientation variants for platforms like TikTok.
