create-video

What problem does it solve?

Create complete videos from a plain-language prompt without manually writing detailed scene-by-scene configurations, selecting avatars, or orchestrating rendering steps. The skill automates script writing, avatar selection, visuals, voiceover, pacing, captions, asset referencing, and status polling so you can move from idea to finished video quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Generate videos from a single optimized prompt using HeyGen Video Agent for quick prototyping, explainer videos, product demos, and marketing clips.
• Prefer HeyGen MCP tools when available for authentication and request formatting, with direct API fallbacks for generate, status, list, and delete operations.
• Support for uploading and referencing assets (images, audio, video), choosing dimensions/orientation, checking quota, and using webhooks or polling for completion.
• Use-case examples: rapid one-shot promotional video from a brief, 60–90 second product demo, or quick social clips for testing creative concepts.

Quick Start

Generate a 60-second product demo by prompting: create a 60-second product demo video that highlights feature X in a professional tone and use HEYGEN_API_KEY for authentication.
