What is HeyGen?
HeyGen is an AI video platform that lets you create, localize, scale, and collaborate on videos from just a script, without a camera or film crew. Avatar V avatars learn speaking style, gestures, and movement to stay consistent across multiple angles and videos, and provide accurate lip sync in more than 175 languages and dialects. It offers a video agent that creates a finished video from a single prompt, AI Studio that edits like a document, and one-click video translation using voice cloning and lip sync. It can turn text, images, audio, and PPT/PDF into video, and also provides an API for developers.
