Hedra is known for expressive talking characters, and its Hedra Agent now builds campaigns on a shared canvas. Morphic is a complete AI video production workspace with an agentic video editor: Copilot stages the talking shot with you in 3D Scene, runs the generations and the lip sync, and edits the multi-track Compose timeline on request. Storyboards, voiceover, songs, sound effects and subtitles share the project. Save your best process as a workflow, with the model and settings kept at every step, and it runs the same way on every brief. Teams co-edit with Live collaboration from the Pro plan, and Enterprise adds User groups and permissions, Credit limits, Model access and Connectors.

What is agentic editing on Morphic?
Agentic editing means an AI agent works inside the edit itself. On Morphic, Copilot helps you stage a shot in 3D, reworks a take from a written instruction, and changes the Compose timeline when you ask, over three stages.
- 01
Block the shot in 3D
Place the speaker and anyone listening, set the move, the lens and the camera height before a credit goes on video. - 02
Fix the take
Change a clip by describing it, extend it, relight it, or re-frame it from another angle. - 03
Cut with Copilot
Edit the Compose timeline yourself, or tell Copilot what to change and it does the work.
Any stage can be done by hand as well. 3D Scene warns you when a shot crosses the 180-degree line, and on paid plans Copilot builds the scene from a prompt and checks its own edits. Export the frame or the shot, attach it, and the model follows that staging.
Why teams choose Morphic over Hedra
Teams choose Morphic when the talking shot is one part of a video that still needs staging, a cut, a grade and a mix. These six parts carry most of that work.
Copilot on the timeline
Ask Copilot for a dissolve between every scene. One undo takes it all back.
Layered Compose cut
Lay the talking shot over b-roll and music, trim to the frame, edit captions.
Grade and key
Match skin tones with curves, wheels and LUTs, then key out a green screen.
Retakes in plain words
Describe what a take should change, or extend the clip past its last frame.
Notes pinned to frames
Pin a note to a spot, an area or a moment in the cut, then tag a teammate.
Ready for teams
Co-edit live from Pro. Enterprise sets groups, credit limits, model access.

FAQs
For a finished video where the talking character is one shot among many, Morphic is the stronger workspace. Copilot stages the shot in 3D Scene, runs the generations and the lip sync, and edits a multi-track Compose timeline with grading, keying and a layered mix. Hedra suits work centred on one expressive character speaking to camera, or a long presenter take from a single audio file.
Yes. Save the character as a Reference, generate the line as speech or a dialogue between voices, and run lip sync so the mouth follows the words. Because the shot lives in a Morphic project, you can block it in 3D Scene first, cut it beside other scenes in Compose, and add music, sound effects and subtitles in the same place.
Hedra pairs its own talking-character models with partner models, Hedra Agent, shared Spaces and a Composer timeline. Morphic is a complete AI video production workspace: 3D Scene settles where people stand and where the camera sits, Copilot runs the generations and edits the Compose timeline, workflows repeat your process, and teams co-edit live from the Pro plan.
Yes. Copilot is Morphic's agent. Give it a goal or a script and it plans the steps, picks a model for each shot, runs the generations side by side so the options arrive together, and returns finished assets. It also edits inside the Compose timeline and, on paid plans, builds scenes inside 3D Scene.
It fixes what a prompt leaves to chance: where each person stands, which way they face, the lens and the camera position. Block the shot with mannequins and cameras, let continuity checks flag a crossed 180-degree line, then export the frame or shot and attach it as the reference the model follows.
Yes. Upload your portraits, clips and audio, or give Copilot a link and it fetches them. Save each recurring character, product or style as a Reference, much like a Hedra Element, and it carries into every generation that calls for it.
Yes. The free plan takes a project from a first prompt to a finished cut before you pay. Paid plans add Copilot inside 3D Scene, exports without a watermark, upscaling and enhancement, and, from the Pro plan up, extra seats for live collaboration.
