How to create a new video project

Log into your HeyGen account.

Once you’ve logged in, you’ll be directed to the main dashboard, where you can click on the ‘Create Video’ button. Next, select “Avatar Video.’

How to add media

Next, you can either select ‘Start from scratch’ or ‘Use a template.’ For this tutorial, we’ll use a template.

Once you’re inside the template of your choice, you’ll need to select ‘Create with AI Studio.’

Choose your avatar

Next, you can choose the avatar of your choice, and add elements like stickers, images, icons, videos, shapes, and more.

To select an Avatar, go to the ‘Avatar’ tab, and choose from the large selection of avatar styles including ‘Instant’, ‘Photo’, and ‘Studio’ Avatars.

Edit your script and select a voice

Click on the existing script and edit it as you’d like.

You can also change the voice on any portion of your script or add your voiceover to the mix.

Add music to your video

Click on the existing music file on the video’s timeline to replace it.

Then, click on the ‘Elements’ tab in the HeyGen Library. Preview available music and select one for your video.

How to finalize and export your video

Next, you can review all the assets in your video and arrange it as you’d like.

You can drag clips around, add more media if needed, and more. Once you’re ready, give your video a preview and click the ‘Submit’ button to finalize it. Once it's available, you can access it in your library and use it as you’d like!
