Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a montage maker and how does it work?

A montage maker combines multiple photos, video clips, or ideas into a single cohesive video. HeyGen uses an AI video generator approach to automatically structure scenes, apply transitions, synchronize music, and balance pacing, removing the need for manual timelines or detailed video editing skills.

How is an AI montage maker different from traditional editors?

Traditional video editors require you to manually arrange clips, transitions, and audio. An AI montage maker handles sequencing, timing, and flow automatically, generating a cinematic montage based on your inputs so you can focus on content rather than technical video editing work.

Yes. AI selects and synchronizes background music with visual pacing. Scene changes, transitions, and emotional beats are aligned to the audio automatically, creating a smooth viewing experience without manual trimming or audio editing.

Can I edit or update a montage after it’s created?

Yes. You can replace images, reorder clips, or adjust inputs and regenerate the montage instantly. AI preserves the overall structure and timing, so updates do not require rebuilding the video from scratch.

What types of montage videos can I create?

You can create personal memory montages, travel highlights, event recaps, brand storytelling videos, social media compilations, and educational summaries. The montage maker adapts visuals and pacing to fit different use cases and audiences, enhancing the overall video montage experience.

Do I need video editing experience to use it?

No. The montage maker is designed for users of all skill levels. AI video generation handles transitions, timing, and structure automatically, allowing beginners to produce professional quality montage videos without training.

What formats can I export montage videos in?

Montage videos can be exported in standard formats suitable for social media, websites, presentations, and internal sharing. Aspect ratios and resolutions are optimized for common platforms without additional formatting steps.
