Turn scripts or audio into announcements, greetings, training, education, product demos, and explainers with your chosen presenter.\n• Generate AI videos. Create product demonstrations, ads, animations, and visual scenes using HeyGen Video 1. Generate video from text, animate images into video, or create videos using reference media.\n• Build longer visual stories. Combine generated scenes with narration, captions, and supporting graphics to tell longer stories, then refine the result through conversation.\n• Create and use avatars in your videos. Build Digital Twins, create photo or AI-generated avatars, or choose from available public presenters.\n• Create voices and voiceovers. Turn text into standalone narration with text-to-speech (TTS), choose from available voices, or create a reusable custom voice.\n• Translate and dub videos.

"Create AI videos, talking avatars, AI images of people, voiceovers, voice clones, and translated videos with HeyGen in ChatGPT. Turn an idea, script, article, document, photo, product, audio recording, or existing footage into marketing videos, ads, product demos, UGC, explainers, training, tutorials, presentations, greetings, and social videos for YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, LinkedIn, and websites.\nWith HeyGen, you can:\n• Make talking-avatar videos. Have an AI avatar, AI presenter, or spokesperson deliver your script or audio for announcements, sales outreach, onboarding, HR and compliance training, courses, lessons, presentations, customer messages, and birthday or holiday greetings. Add B-roll, music, captions, and motion graphics for a finished edit, or export the avatar on a transparent background to overlay on your own content.\n• Clone yourself. Create an AI clone of yourself: a Digital Twin from a short video, or a photo avatar from a single image. Clone your voice so you can make videos without filming.\n• Make a photo talk. Turn a photo or portrait of a person into a talking, lip-synced video, or create an avatar from a photo or a text description, and give your avatars new looks and outfits.\n• Create voiceovers and audio. Generate AI voiceovers and text-to-speech (TTS) narration in many voices and languages, design a custom voice from a description, and add background music and sound effects.\n• Create AI images of a person with HeyGen Image. Put yourself or your avatar in any scene for AI headshots, profile pictures, photoshoots, new outfits and settings, and a consistent character across images. HeyGen Image keeps the face from your photos and takes the pose, outfit, lighting, and background from a reference image, then you can animate the result into video.\n• Generate AI videos with HeyGen Video 1. Text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video for cinematic scenes, product videos, ads, animations, B-roll, and short clips in landscape, vertical, or square. Animate a photo or product image, or guide the look with reference images. Create Cinematic Avatar scenes with up to three of your avatars.\n• Make longer videos. Turn a topic, blog post, article, or document into a narrated video with scenes, B-roll, captions, music, and on-screen graphics using Video Agent, then refine it in chat. Make faceless videos, faceless YouTube explainers, narrated picture stories, slideshow-style videos, and multi-scene videos.\n• Make UGC and social ads. Create AI UGC ads, UGC-style product videos, product reviews, tutorials and how-tos, try-on hauls, unboxings, website and app promo videos, e-commerce product ads, and ASMR or aesthetic product videos from your product photos or website.\n• Plan content. Write video scripts and hooks, and plan and produce a recurring video series for YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram on a schedule.\n• Translate and dub videos. Use AI dubbing and video translation into 175+ languages and dialects, including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, and Arabic, with voice cloning, lip-sync, and subtitles to localize ads, courses, and YouTube videos. Lip-sync any video to new audio to replace or fix lines.\n• Repurpose and clean up footage. Use AI clipping to turn long videos, video podcasts, webinars, and livestreams into short clips and highlights for Shorts and Reels, and remove filler words and long silences.\n• Personalize and scale. Turn a video into a reusable template, swap names and text, and generate many personalized videos in one batch. Apply brand kits with your logo and colors, and use brand glossaries for pronunciation and terminology.\n• Manage your HeyGen library. Browse and organize videos, avatars, voices, templates, translations, and assets in folders, check progress, and download finished videos.\nConnect your HeyGen account to get started."

      "long_description": "Create AI videos, talking avatars, AI images of people, voiceovers, voice clones, and translated videos with HeyGen in ChatGPT. Turn an idea, script, article, document, photo, product, audio recording, or existing footage into marketing videos, ads, product demos, UGC, explainers, training, tutorials, presentations, greetings, and social videos for YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, LinkedIn, and websites.\nWith HeyGen, you can:\n• Make talking-avatar videos. Have an AI avatar, AI presenter, or spokesperson deliver your script or audio for announcements, sales outreach, onboarding, HR and compliance training, courses, lessons, presentations, customer messages, and birthday or holiday greetings. Add B-roll, music, captions, and motion graphics for a finished edit, or export the avatar on a transparent background to overlay on your own content.\n• Clone yourself. Create an AI clone of yourself: a Digital Twin from a short video, or a photo avatar from a single image. Clone your voice so you can make videos without filming.\n• Make a photo talk. Turn a photo or portrait of a person into a talking, lip-synced video, or create an avatar from a photo or a text description, and give your avatars new looks and outfits.\n• Create voiceovers and audio. Generate AI voiceovers and text-to-speech (TTS) narration in many voices and languages, design a custom voice from a description, and add background music and sound effects.\n• Create AI images of a person with HeyGen Image. Put yourself or your avatar in any scene for AI headshots, profile pictures, photoshoots, new outfits and settings, and a consistent character across images. HeyGen Image keeps the face from your photos and takes the pose, outfit, lighting, and background from a reference image, then you can animate the result into video.\n• Generate AI videos with HeyGen Video 1. Text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video for cinematic scenes, product videos, ads, animations, B-roll, and short clips in landscape, vertical, or square. Animate a photo or product image, or guide the look with reference images. Create Cinematic Avatar scenes with up to three of your avatars.\n• Make longer videos. Turn a topic, blog post, article, or document into a narrated video with scenes, B-roll, captions, music, and on-screen graphics using Video Agent, then refine it in chat. Make faceless videos, faceless YouTube explainers, narrated picture stories, slideshow-style videos, and multi-scene videos.\n• Make UGC and social ads. Create AI UGC ads, UGC-style product videos, product reviews, tutorials and how-tos, try-on hauls, unboxings, website and app promo videos, e-commerce product ads, and ASMR or aesthetic product videos from your product photos or website.\n• Plan content. Write video scripts and hooks, and plan and produce a recurring video series for YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram on a schedule.\n• Translate and dub videos. Use AI dubbing and video translation into 175+ languages and dialects, including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, and Arabic, with voice cloning, lip-sync, and subtitles to localize ads, courses, and YouTube videos. Lip-sync any video to new audio to replace or fix lines.\n• Repurpose and clean up footage. Use AI clipping to turn long videos, video podcasts, webinars, and livestreams into short clips and highlights for Shorts and Reels, and remove filler words and long silences.\n• Personalize and scale. Turn a video into a reusable template, swap names and text, and generate many personalized videos in one batch. Apply brand kits with your logo and colors, and use brand glossaries for pronunciation and terminology.\n• Manage your HeyGen library. Browse and organize videos, avatars, voices, templates, translations, and assets in folders, check progress, and download finished videos.\nConnect your HeyGen account to get started.",
