HeyGen.
Make a presenter video or translate one you already have.
Turn a script or photo into an avatar video, or translate an existing video with a matching voice and lip-sync. Use a ready-made presenter or create an avatar from material you have permission to use.
Getting started: EasyStart in the web editor with a short script and a ready-made presenter. Review the words, voice and video before sharing. A custom likeness needs consent. Our setup guide, not a performance score.

Getting started.
Choose a ready-made presenter and a short fictional script. Check the current Free limits before generating. Preview the wording, pronunciation and exported video before sharing it.
Only use a real person’s face or voice with their consent. HeyGen requires a consent recording for video-based Digital Twins. Review translations, pronunciation and lip-sync; these examples are provider capabilities, not our own test results.
Make a fictional club update.
Try this task
- You’ll need
- Eligible HeyGen access, an available video allowance and a ready-made presenter. No real person’s likeness or voice is needed.
- A request to copy
Make a short presenter video using only this script: "Our fictional drawing club has six interested people. We plan to meet on Saturday, but the room and time are not confirmed. We will share those details later." Use a ready-made presenter. Do not clone anyone, invent details, publish the video or buy credits.
- What to expect
- One short video draft to review before sharing.
- How to check it is done
- Check the names, spoken words and lip-sync. The room and time must stay unconfirmed. Inspect the watermark, duration and usage charged.
