AI Studio is HeyGenâs redesigned editor, built from the ground up to make AI video creation faster, easier, and more flexible. Traditional editors rely on complex timelines. But with HeyGen, you generate your video from a script, no editing knowledge required.

AI Studio replaces layers and tracks with a streamlined interface anchored around three areas:
- Script Panel â Write and structure your video with familiar text editing
- Canvas â Add and arrange avatars, visuals, and design
- Scene Timeline â Organize your video flow and manage scene breaks
Adding professional polish to your videos
Scene transitions and animations help create a seamless viewing experience while adding a layer of visual sophistication. With HeyGen, you can quickly enhance the pacing and structure of your video by introducing smooth transitions between scenes and timed animations that match your script. These subtle touches keep your audience engaged and make your content feel complete and well-produced.
Create smooth, professional transitions between scenes. You can also animate individual elements like text or logos, timed precisely to your spoken words using smart sync markers.

Fine-tune your avatar's voice and gestures with AI-powered controls
Gone are the days of "close enough." Now, HeyGen offers more fine tuned control over your avatar's vocal delivery, gestures, emotional tone, and more.
Control how your avatar delivers each line using simple text-based instructions. You can emphasize words, add pauses, adjust tone, and guide emotional deliveryâensuring your message lands exactly how you want it
Record your real voice, and your avatar will replicate it with stunning accuracy. Voice Mirroring captures your natural pacing, inflection, and toneâgiving you a lifelike, fully personalized performance without being on camera.
Bring avatars to life with natural, expressive movements. Gesture Control maps physical gesturesâlike hand motionsâto specific lines in your script, helping you add nuance and energy to your video.
