Feature requests, feedback and ideas for the HeyGen team

Feedback & Requests

I know I've nmentioned this previously but I figure I'll keep at it until I hear something concrete either for or against.  I don't see much about the URL to video feature discussed much of anywhere, I guess maybe it doesn't get a lot of use.  For the longest time it always was listed as “Beta”, but now that the link has been moved to the apps section it says “New” so maybe it's here to stay. 

I find this an invaluable resource for my particular products as currently I have over 500 products and being able to drop in a product URL and have the application source my images for the product, include my store logo and generate several scripts to select from, and then compile it all into a completed video saves me an immense amount of time.

With that said the downside is that there are very view public avatars that match my brand voice and image. Frankly there's only one public avatar that comes even close and I have predominantly used it for these videos, which I post to my various social media platforms and use in paid advertising as well. 

I would like to have the ability to use my own generated avatars, which the application does support but not on my plan tier. The requirement is that “Only Avatar with background removal enabled are available for URL to Ads" And I cannot create one under my cretor plan and I do not need, want or can afford the additional features on the higher tiers.

I would be willing to pay for a monthly add-on feature much like the additional generative credits if I could use this feature with my own avatars.  There are only 25 public avatars available to use in this feature and to be honest none of them really fit my brand image/voice. I target a very specific niche demographic and I prefer my avatars to meet this standard. 

Currently there aren't that many generation platforms that offer this feature. Some that do are; Invideo AI, VideoGen.io, Vidboard.ai and Kapwing, but Invideo is the only one that I currently have an account with and have explored their other features.  I don't really like to jump around from platform to platform as it makes organizing workflow that much more difficult.

Anyway, I just wanted to keep this thread active on the forums in hopes that the situation might change. If I could have this ability as an add on then 99% of my video generation can be done just with Heygen. That and it's more economical than having numerous subscriptions on different platforms to complete the video projects I utilize the most.

Use of own avatars for URL to Video
