Avatar Prompts, AI Screen Recorder, and API Suite

We’re excited to share our November updates! This month, you can now create videos of yourself using just text prompts. With HeyGen, anyone can make videos 10 times faster and cheaper than traditional production.

Prompt Videos of Yourself

Now, you can generate videos of yourself in any location, outfit, pose, and style from a simple text prompt. No filming needed. Just upload a photo, and create lifelike scenes in seconds. If you can describe it, we can generate videos of it. Unleash your creativity with our new text-to-video technology. 

Try generating a new professional headshot, you in your next Halloween costume, or a personal greeting in a Santa hat. Generate those looks, and then bring them to life by adding motion. 

With our new ‘Add Motion’ feature, not only does your avatar move with your script, but it also brings the background to life. Think waves crashing, cars passing by, or leaves blowing in the wind. 

Virtual Avatar with Motion

No cast? No wardrobe? No location scout? No problem. 

In mere seconds, you can now design your own virtual characters and brand ambassadors in any outfit, pose, and background. 

Here’s what’s inspiring our early users: 

• A creator behind a meditation video series can prompt avatars that guide sessions from sanctuaries in Bhutan and the Himalayas

• A cyberpunk fashion brand can generate lifestyle model shots from Hong Kong to Tokyo

• A filmmaker can produce a short animated film with generated characters that are colorful and expressive 

Video Translation

HeyGen is the leader in video translation, using AI magic to go beyond dubbing and to do more than just lip-syncing. We know a great translation depends on sound quality. So, we’re letting you remove sound you don’t want and sharpen the sound you do want. You can now remove background music to make the speaker’s voice distinct and check the box for voice enhancement to automatically improve voice quality.

AI Screen Recorder (Beta)

Now, you can add HeyGen avatars to your screen recordings to send a message while keeping the camera off. Record your screen with our voice-only Google Chrome extension, and then HeyGen will automatically open, letting you edit and add your avatar. Choose your digital twin or one of our diverse cast members.

API Suite

We now have an API suite for developers, entrepreneurs, and marketers who want to automate and scale their content creation. Bring AI videos to your app, website, or products. Our API lets you embed avatar videos, localize videos, and integrate interactive avatars. Captivate, connect, and expand your reach with video experiences tailored to global audiences. The HeyGen API suite is available for all users on any plan, starting at FREE.
