The easy way to generate my own AI avatar.
It could be cheaper for educational goals.

4+/5 Usability and generation results are great, only minus is pricing.
Video generation, voices, video editing is easy and intuitive... so Everything except the things below.
Pricing is a big minus from the perspective of a solo creator from a not-so-developed country. Little minus, is still seeing unnaturality of the character, but I guess that will improve day by day.

In essence, I really like using HeyGen, especially in terms of its use.
Its use is very easy to put into practice.
The free credits are few and the package price is beyond my reach.

The HeyGen artificial intelligence tool is an excellent solution for those who need a spokesperson to convey information to the viewer but lack someone available to record or the necessary equipment. HeyGen has the ability to turn any photo into an animated character, offering various options for customization according to the client's needs. Unlike other tools, HeyGen stands out for providing natural movements and facial expressions to the avatar, avoiding distortions in the image as seen in other platforms.
Improving lip synchronization in other languages, especially Brazilian Portuguese, which was the language I used, is crucial. Another negative aspect is the pricing. Unfortunately, pricing is only available in dollars. It would be interesting to expand to other regions, adjusting prices to different local currencies, making the tool more accessible and fair here in Brazil.

As I am only in day 1, the overall appeal to become better affluent with the platform will come in due time. So far I am happy with the ease hence the reason I paid for a monthly subscription.
The ability to find what I needed easily readily available to me in a short amount of time.
Cost for trying something before you buy in to a subscription was not there. I would like the ability to purchase said credits needed to test out products before you fully commit.

I plan to use it to create the daily weather forecast and present it to our radio listeners on Facebook. But as a freelancer, it's too cost-intensive in the long run. I'll have to wait until it's cheaper.
It was easy to use. It worked well for me.
I would have liked to have had more time to test the product for my needs. That means more credits.

Best pro and worst con aside, the overall experience is still generally crappy. It's full of bugs, updates aren't tested before deployed and wind up breaking things, the UI is hard to use, and elements are just generally laid out counterintuitively. Oh, and it locks your video file after submitting for animation, so you're f'd if there's an error that needs to be fixed. Idk if this particular issue is limited to HeyGen or afflicts the AI avatar market on the whole, but it's frickin' dumb and if it IS a market problem the first one to find their way around it will win my business and maybe even be able to charge a premium. Because the way at least HeyGen does it now is duuuuuummmb.
It's got AI avatars? Seriously though, I don't "like" anything about HeyGen. The best I can say is that I guess I dislike the login portal the least, but it's sadly true. The ONLY reason to come to HeyGen is for the AI avatars, and you can get those elsewhere. So although it may sound hyperbolic, it's true: the thing I "like" most about HeyGen is that if you're willing to suffer through the rest, you will--eventually--get an animated avatar video.
Honestly, it's usually terrible support for basic features that drives me to actually leave a review, but while the support team is seemingly never online and refuses to actually read tickets, that seems to be industry standard for silicon valley these days, so this time the most offensive problem is the content moderation, and not just the absurdly puritanical nature of their filter but how long it takes to get dealt with as well.

The product not only meets but exceeds expectations, especially in the domain of voice cloning. From my perspective, the quality of the voice cloning technology is unparalleled, making it a standout choice in the competitive market. The lip synchronization feature, although not perfect, is impressively effective, showcasing its capabilities even in the Instant Avatar plan.
The investment in this product is significant, with its pricing positioned on the higher end of the spectrum. However, the value it delivers, in my view, is well-matched to its cost, particularly when compared to alternatives that fall short in quality. A minor hiccup I've encountered is the occasional voice fluctuation, where the avatar adopts an unusual accent via the text-to-speech functionality. This aspect, though a slight drawback, is something I am keenly working to overcome, exploring various strategies to enhance the overall experience.

I had a small problem at the beginning to validate my instant avatar but after contacting customer service they very quickly studied my problem and above all solved it. it must be said that the instant avatar validation system is hard but essential, because people with bad intentions could deceive people with this high quality of rendering
above all heygen offers a modern, professional and very accessible interface, you can easily find everything in the right place. having tested almost all the other solutions currently available, it is by far the most qualitative and the most affordable.
without menagment I have difficulty finding them because there is no really comparable competitor when we test them, I would say I can't wait to see the future improvements

Using it has been a wonderful experience with a moderate learning curve that allows us, as users, to quickly become familiar with its operation.
What I liked the most is the great variety of options it offers. A dozen avatars, with clothing options and several voices in many languages for these. Also the studio with which you can generate videos and the resources you have to decorate them. I think it is a very complete tool.
It can be expensive, but it is worth it.

1. The quality of the video production. 2. The quality, particularly the variety of inflections in the voices.
The price will be a deciding factor for many, although it has to be compared to the cost of hiring voice over artists and/or actors and the time it would take to script, record and edit videos of this quality.

again, it looks good so far! Looking to see what else it can do.
I am enjoying what I see so far... still new to its use but very impressed at what I can do thus far.
the upgrade price was a little much for me and I would have loved to try the full avatar in the free version (at least for a small time to test it out

The level of video outputs that you get. Those are the best Ai avatars on the market. So good some people wont even notice the difference from real videos. Saved a lot time
I am not a big fan of the pricings. And I would love to have a bit more flexebility with the creation of Ai avatars.

ABSOLUTELY love the virtual clone! HAHA it's great!!! Thank you for an amazing product. [sensitive content hidden] YouTube channel
I do not like that the credits are rounded up to 30 seconds. It's not a cheap product so I'd like to get more use out of the credits that I purchased.

Video making is easy and enjoyable. The templates and video clips are great. It's a pleasure to work with.
The platform is so easy to use. It saves me time and the avatars are so real.
It's a bit expensive and a couple of times I looked for a feature and realised that it had been moved.

In the brief time I have played with it, with the functionality it would have for me as a user, I can absolutely see the potential to make quality training and marketing videos for a lot less money than hiring a specialty firm to do it for us.
The pricing, while I think is a little expensive, is on par with its competitors and actually enough cheaper with better functionality to warrant the cost. I am researching for a potential purchase. It has risen to the top. Now to convince the Finance Dept.
The avatars speech patterns were awkward at times, compared to the competitors, but the hand gesturing and facial movements and expressions made up for it.

AMAZING. Like, seriously, AMAZING! My mind is swirling with ideas on how I can use this super powerful (and super affordable) tool!
Super easy to use, while giving outstanding quality at the same time.
So far, nothing. It's an amazing tool. Once I find something I don't like, I'll tell you.

HeyGen is the best neural network for generating a digital avatar. There is no such quality anywhere. I will use it and recommend it to my friends! Develop!
there is no negative feedback, I like everything

Very good. Great to see what it could do with a photo to make it look like its speaking.
Interesting way it makes photos talk. Great for my film clips.
The proposed cost per year. I am in between jobs at the moment and a bit strapped.

Awesome experience with Hey Gen. Would highly recommend it, bar the higher price.
Loved how intuitive Hey Gen is :) Easy to use, lots of options.
The price of Hey Gen is a little expensive for markets that do not use the Dollar.

I especially liked the ease of use (hence the title), the easiest of all gen AI tools I have used so far.
How easy every step, from onboarding, to uploading assets, to generatiing voice and video is. Integration with other voice services
I think the price is OK for professional use, but for recreational use a little too high.
