Les images crées correspondent au prompt et adapter au Storytelling Cons Publicités mensongères: mon offre 30 dollars par mois ANNONCE: Video illimité (au bout de 10videos je suis bloqué) - Video de 30 min impossible max 5min. - Pas les droits de Copyright sur les outils délivré, 5 vidéos bloqué sur youtube parce que la musique utilisé ou autres appartiennent déjà à quelqu'un et malgré 4 demande à l assistant ia de changer pour essayer d etre en conformité, youtube bloque toujours.

Pros Easy to use even with their Avatars or my own Avatar. This is the only platform I use to lip sync my Avatar. You can use your own voice or Text to speech in HeyGen itself. Cons Video Avatar(Motion) have only 10 seconds and it will loop til the end of your VO or 'Text to speech' voice so ma be your clip will jerk every 10 seconds. Sometimes the Avatar don't follow your prompt but their staff said it's the early stage.

For faceless channels this can be a game changer. Pros Realistic digital avatars can be used to produce videos at scale. Multilingual support and fast video creation makes it ideal for e-commerce.

AU Anonymous User Project Leader Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Changing pricing of a subscription without any communication" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 August 7, 2025 I had been very happy with HeyGen up until now and had signed up for an annual subscription for translation services. Then, out of the blue, without any communication or explanation, the number of translation minutes was reduced overnight. When I signed up for the annual subscription, I was promised “unlimited” minutes, which is why I chose this option. Suddenly, it's limited to 120 minutes per month. When you contact support, they just say they had to change it and are in no way willing to find a good solution. I'm really speechless—I've never experienced such poor treatment of customers anywhere else. Pros I had been very happy with HeyGen up until now and had signed up for an annual subscription for translation services Cons Then, out of the blue, without any communication or explanation, the number of translation minutes was reduced overnight.

I have been using it to create talking avatars from pre-recorded audio and then synchronize the avatars, creating a fluid dialogue. Pros The app is frequently updated, with high production quality and good support for problems or questions. Cons Sometimes there is a delay in video production, but I believe that the wait has led to good results. There are faster plans available, at a higher cost.

AR Anthony R. Design Creator Entertainment ### "Hey gen, a solid avatar tool with more room for improvement " 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 7, 2025 It's a good avatar tool for product videos. One of the best you can get right now but still need more fine tuning on the lip sync as sometimes the lip sync gets off but i have used many lip sync tools and this one is better than many. Just know however it's not perfect but it's headed in the right direction. Pros Hey gen has some very realistic avatars. It has one of the best lip sync features i ever seen but despite it being good its not five stars yet but its at least four stars. Cons I like how the avatars look realistic in terms of aesthetic and skin tones. So the realism is almost there. Switched from [TalkingPhotos](https://www.capterra.com/p/10025052/TalkingPhotos/) Talking photos had a lot of issues with background when using its avatar feature.

Business Analyst Information Technology and Services ### "a new ai studio makes it easy to make videos." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 8, 2025 making films for my online store used to take hours and was a pain. that only takes about 30 minutes with heygen's ai studio. there's no need for a camera or other fancy gear for me to make product ads. it helped me post more on tiktok, and now i get more hits. it helps me get things done faster and better. Pros heygen's new ai studio is great for quickly making movies. i type a story, choose an avatar, and in minutes i have a video that looks like it was made by a pro. it's cool that i can change how my avatar moves to fit the mood with motion control. lots of voices and more than 100 characters let me make things for my small business that look real. it also works great for social media clips. Cons when they say strange words, the lip sync can look a little off. also, the free plan only lets you make three short movies a month, which isn't enough to really test it.

Makes things go faster and smoother. Pros I love how you create a talking avatar and make videos using a realistic human. All you do is type a script and choose your avatar and they have tons to choose from. Perfect for any type of online business. This saves me tons of time Cons If you're just a causal user, then it can be quite expensive. When you have to render a video, it can be slow. Some of the Avatar voices sound a little bit robotic.

Support is ignoring you" 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 2/10 May 5, 2025 They charge a lot of money for a subscription, but once you would pay they forget about your existence. No support, forget it. Pros They provide access to a very Interesting technology, but... Cons \- They would constantly reject your videos for false reasons even if the video consists of ONE word (legal one) - Only bots would respond if you contact within their support chat. Ther would be always the same standard reply, after which the dialogue would stop. - There would be no point in appealing a rejection to render a video. Your appeal would never considered on its merits and a problem would not be resolved Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

I just don't like waiting for the video as long as I have. Pros I love HeyGen because it allows me to create videos in a flash! It used to take me half a day to create a video back in my YouTube days, but now, it only takes about 30 minutes and that's with me creating the script Cons Sometimes it takes way too long. My short video has been processing for the last 20 minutes saying it's next in line. I know I'm only buying the $29/month service, but it's still taking way too long.
