Unlike traditional avatars, Motion Avatars can walk and move, rather than sit or stand in one place. They’re perfect for any content that needs a bit of extra flair.<img alt="some-file-a2ed5332-98b8-428b-aaae-cce3ea7a02a5" src="https://d2xo500swnpgl1.cloudfront.net/uploads/heygen/some-file-a2ed5332-98b8-428b-aaae-cce3ea7a02a5-1730150263096.png"> <h3>Accessing HeyGen Motion Avatars</h3>To start, log in to your HeyGen account and head over to ‘Avatars’. From here, you can either access a Motion Avatar that you have created previously or create a new one. Let’s go ahead and create a new ‘Motion Avatar.”<img alt="some-file-0125b3f2-5394-426e-942e-022162945d3e" src="https://d2xo500swnpgl1.cloudfront.net/uploads/heygen/some-file-0125b3f2-5394-426e-942e-022162945d3e-1730150296120.gif"> <h3>Creating and customizing Motion Avatars</h3>Click on ‘Create Avatar’ and listen to the intro video.&nbsp;When you’re ready to move on, click ‘Get Started.’<img alt="some-file-9b184984-712f-4546-806e-670e4eff3f43" src="https://d2xo500swnpgl1.cloudfront.net/uploads/heygen/some-file-9b184984-712f-4546-806e-670e4eff3f43-1730150351733.gif">Next, click on ‘Motion Avatar’ and you’ll be taken to a set of instructions that you can either watch via video or read.&nbsp;After you review the instructions, click ‘Next Step.’<img alt="some-file-4bffb9b7-6af8-4d09-9278-6908c16a6fe1" src="https://d2xo500swnpgl1.cloudfront.net/uploads/heygen/some-file-4bffb9b7-6af8-4d09-9278-6908c16a6fe1-1730150384043.gif">Then, you’ll be asked to upload high-res video footage of yourself. Your Avatar will be based on the footage you upload, so make sure your footage is moving the way that you want your Avatar to move! For example, if you want your Avatar to be walking, your footage should show you walking. It’s best if it’s about two minutes long. You'll also see a checklist before you submit your video.<img alt="some-file-2850f0e6-ce2f-49c8-a93d-bf459ccaec91" src="https://d2xo500swnpgl1.cloudfront.net/uploads/heygen/some-file-2850f0e6-ce2f-49c8-a93d-bf459ccaec91-1730150417666.gif">Finally, you’ll be asked to record a consent video to prevent the misuse of your avatar in HeyGen. <img src="https://d2xo500swnpgl1.cloudfront.net/uploads/heygen/some-file-a3794e95-58b6-49f2-a52a-3ac465bd35ba-1730150446877.gif">Once your consent is given, HeyGen will upload your video and&nbsp;generate your Motion Avatar, which will be added to your assert library.You’re free to use your Motion Avatar in your videos! <img alt="some-file-ade1c3e3-e492-449a-b159-ffb946e1d6f8" src="https://d2xo500swnpgl1.cloudfront.net/uploads/heygen/some-file-ade1c3e3-e492-449a-b159-ffb946e1d6f8-1730150468244.gif"> <h3>Recap</h3>In this tutorial, you learned:<ol><li data-list="bullet">What are Motion Avatars?</li><li data-list="bullet">How to access Motion Avatars</li><li data-list="bullet">Creating and customizing Motion Avatars</li><li data-list="bullet">Editing your Motion Avatar</li></ol>We’re looking forward to seeing what you’ll create with HeyGen!If you’re posting your videos on social media, make sure to tag any videos you create with @HeyGen_Official so we can celebrate them with you.
