Video Generation

HeyGen Video is a general-purpose video generation model from HeyGen. It renders short clips with synthesized audio (dialogue, ambience, and sound effects) in a single call, working from a text prompt, from a first-frame image, or from a set of image, video, and audio references that the prompt can address directly. It is aimed at short-form business video with a lot of motion in frame: brand moments, product and equipment demos, and training or onboarding content.
