Is this HeyGen's avatar generator?
No. HeyGen Video invents a scene and its sound. It does not require selecting a presenter avatar or an existing look.

HeyGen Video From Spoken Scenes to Painted Motion
A lighthouse performance, a watercolor fox animated from its opening image, and a café shot guided by a cup reference show different starting points.
What Is HeyGen Video?
HeyGen Video is a scene-generation model built on MiniMax H3 and post-trained by HeyGen. It creates a short scene and its sound in one generation, rather than animating a chosen avatar from a script. This generator offers text, an opening image and image-reference modes.
- Invent a complete sceneDescribe the subject, place, camera and sound without choosing an avatar.
- Begin with your visualAnimate an opening image or use pictures to guide a new composition.
- Make a short finished beatChoose a duration from 5 to 15 seconds and an output tier before generating.
HeyGen Video Connects Your Brief, Image and Subject
Choose the input that carries the most useful direction, then describe a contained action and the sound that belongs with it.
Write the Picture and Sound Together
Describe a speaker, the room and a short line of dialogue in one prompt. The scene generates with its own sound, making it useful for a character introduction or a compact narrative beat.
- Name the camera position and the action
- Include room tone, effects and whether music should be absent
Give an Illustration Its Opening Frame
Upload an image in frame-to-video mode and describe what happens next. The watercolor fox input shown here anchors the corresponding example's opening; its proportions determine the composition.
- One opening image, with no ending-frame input
- Describe the physical marks of the visual style you want to retain
Place a Supplied Object in a New Scene
Add reference images and name their roles in the prompt. The cup reference shown here guides the café example; the scene can change around the supplied subject rather than having to start on that photograph.
- Upload 1–9 image references
- Refer to pictures in order as <Picture 1>, <Picture 2> and so on

HeyGen Video Inputs, Sound and Credits Explained
Choose the mode and output settings that match the scene you want to create.
What inputs does this page support?
Text, one opening image, or 1–9 reference images. Video and audio reference uploads are not offered by this task. There is no last-frame input.
Can I turn off generated audio?
There is no audio toggle for this task. Direct dialogue, ambience, effects and music in the prompt, and listen to the output before using it.
Which resolutions and lengths can I choose?
Choose any whole-second duration from 5 to 15 seconds and 480p, 768p, 1080p or 2K. Image mode follows the opening image; other modes expose aspect-ratio choices.
How many credits does it use?
A five-second clip costs 25 credits at 480p or 768p and 75 credits at 1080p or 2K. The generator updates the quote for your chosen duration before submission.
What should I keep simple?
Start with one subject and one action. Long text, delicate organic motion and close hand manipulation need careful review; add exact typography in your editor when it must be reliable.
