I'm attempting to save time building videos through the API. What I have found so far is that they don't look nearly as good as those I create directly via the HeyGen editor.

API video - https://app.heygen.com/videos/2a02d80abce24da2befbd755dc0937a3

HG video looks super crisp, lip sync is dead on, great movement, etc. (1080p)

API video is choppy, lip synce is way off, using more realistic mouth movements than cartoon movements. Biggest issue for me is that it doesn't fit the video canvas, I'm using 720x1280 for size.

Below is the JSON used to create the video, maybe there are options that I'm missing to get it to look better. I have tried one other avatar similar to this and not having these problems. It IS filling the canvas most of the way. Attached an image…

        "avatar_id": "2de8a5ccf58141ad9b4a47b04122fe0e",

        "talking_photo_id": "cc07414bd4fc4374808d8af3556caa57",

          "model": "eleven_multilingual_v2",

        "voice_id": "2902a715e2aa4012a4634fbaec3b2b0d"

API videos look awful - need guidance on API settings
