Try It Like This

1. 1
   Two-minute product explainer for web

   Access HeyGen via the web app → paste or import your product script (Google Docs supported) and pick an avatar and motion template → generate the clip; short 30–90 second drafts usually render in under 2 minutes, while a full 2-minute explainer with complex motion can take several minutes.

2. 2
   Localize an onboarding module

   Upload or type the trainer script in your source language → enable multi-language export and select target languages (170+ available) → generate localized versions with matched narration; expect per-language renders to add time, so queue exports and monitor progress.

3. 3
   Avatar-led sales demo from slides

   Prepare a concise slide outline or paste text from slides → choose an avatar (or upload your own) and assign the outline to consecutive clips → export the narrated demo; simple slide-to-avatar clips typically render quickly, complex animated slides increase render time.

4. 4
   Short social hook (image-to-video)

   Type a 15–30 second cold-open script and select a motion-forward template → (optionally) upload a brand still to animate and pick the output resolution → generate the 15–30s clip; short social clips commonly finish in under 2 minutes on basic templates.

5. 5
   High-resolution speaker video for keynote

   Draft the full script and select Pro (or higher) tier export → pick 4K output and any voice/lip-sync settings → render the final video and download the 4K file; 4K exports are available only on Pro+ and can take noticeably longer than 1080p renders.
