Recap
What is AI Studio?
AI Studio is HeyGen’s 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 – Write and structure your video with familiar text editing
Canvas – Add and arrange avatars, visuals, and design
Scene Timeline – 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.
Control how your avatar delivers each line using simple text-based instructions. You can emphasize words, add pauses, adjust tone, and guide emotional delivery—ensuring 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 tone—giving you a lifelike, fully personalized performance without being on camera.
Bring avatars to life with natural, expressive movements. Gesture Control maps physical gestures—like hand motions—to specific lines in your script, helping you add nuance and energy to your video.
Keep teams aligned and in sync
AI Studio supports improved real-time collaboration features. Add comments, tag collaborators, and co-edit in one shared workspace—perfect for marketing teams, agencies, or internal comms.
Here's what's new:
Comments
Collaborate with teammates directly inside AI Studio to streamline reviews and speed up content production. You can leave targeted comments on specific scenes or elements, tag team members for feedback or approval, and track resolution in real time—all without leaving the editor. Comments help align cross-functional teams, reduce revision cycles, and keep communication centralized throughout the video creation
Single Editor Mode enables seamless video collaboration by allowing multiple teammates to work together in the same project—live and in sync. You can co-write scripts, assign avatars, adjust design elements, and manage pacing together in real time. Whether you’re building content with a colleague or collecting feedback from stakeholders, Single Editor Mode keeps the entire process efficient, organized, and collaborative.
Recap
Now you're ready to create polished, professional videos using HeyGen’s AI Studio—where every word, every gesture, and every edit is fully in your control. With intuitive, script-based editing and powerful AI tools, you can bring your ideas to life without the complexity of traditional timelines.
