Generate videos with HeyGen Video 1
HeyGen Video 1 is the video model from HeyGen, the company known for its talking avatars, released on October 9, 2026. It makes 5 to 15 second clips with the sound already in place: lines written in the prompt are spoken on screen, with the ambience and sound effects that go with them. Its strong suit on the canvas: wire in a photo and a recording of your voice, and the person in the photo says your words, in your voice, lips matched. It also starts from plain text or up to nine reference images, in 480p, 768p, 1080p or 2K. In 480p it is one of the cheapest video models in the catalog.
