Key features

Specs are HeyGen's own, from the HeyGen Video 1 model listing. HeyGen Video 1 is not on Morphic, so the clips on this page were made on Morphic with Morphic H3, which generates video with native audio today, and Veo 3.1 for the spoken-dialogue clips.

Use cases

Ads with a spoken line

A short clip where someone talks to camera comes out with the line, the room tone and the lip movement already in place, ready to post.

Food and street scenes

Busy scenes bring their own sound, the sizzle, the crowd, the clatter, so a market or a kitchen clip feels alive without a sound library.

Cinematic b-roll

Mood shots get the rain, the wind or the room they need, timed to the picture, so a cutaway sounds like the place it shows.

Sports and action

Fast action lands its own hits and bounces on the beat, so a rally or a run reads as motion and sound together, not a silent clip.

Product and craft shots

Close work carries the small sounds, the wheel, the wet clay, the water, so a making-of clip feels handmade and in the room.

Home and lifestyle

Everyday scenes get the kettle, the pan and the morning radio, so a lifestyle clip sounds like a real kitchen instead of stock footage.

Overview

HeyGen Video 1 is HeyGen's text-to-video model. It writes the picture and the sound in one pass, so a clip comes back with its dialogue, its ambience and its effects already timed to what happens on screen. Clips run 5 to 15 seconds, up to 2K, in framings from 21:9 widescreen to 9:16 vertical.

What HeyGen Video 1 does differently

Most video models return a silent clip, and the sound is a second job: find effects, line them up, add a voice, lip-sync it. HeyGen Video 1 makes the soundtrack with the video, so the words, the room and the action already match the moment you get the clip back. It is a post-train of MiniMax H3, tuned by HeyGen for its own look and sound, and it holds a scene together well as the clip plays.

HeyGen Video 1 on Morphic

HeyGen Video 1 is not on Morphic. For text-to-video with native audio, Morphic H3 does the same job today: open Copilot, describe the scene and the sound you want, and it returns the picture and a synced soundtrack in one run. For a clip that turns on a spoken line and lip-sync, Veo 3.1 is the stronger pick. Every clip on this page was made that way. For how to prompt it, see the HeyGen Video 1 guide, and for how it compares with the base model, see HeyGen Video 1 vs MiniMax H3.

FAQs

What is HeyGen Video 1?
HeyGen Video 1 is HeyGen's text-to-video model. It writes the picture and the sound in the same run, so a clip comes back with dialogue, ambience and effects already timed to the action. Clips are 5 to 15 seconds, up to 2K, in widescreen, vertical, square or portrait.
Is HeyGen Video 1 on Morphic?
No. HeyGen Video 1 runs on HeyGen and a few model services, not on Morphic. For text-to-video with native audio on Morphic, Morphic H3 does the same job today: it writes the picture and a synced soundtrack in one run. Veo 3.1 is the pick when a clip turns on spoken dialogue and lip-sync.
Is HeyGen Video 1 the same as MiniMax H3?
HeyGen Video 1 is a post-train of MiniMax H3, so it starts from that model and is tuned by HeyGen for its own look and sound. MiniMax H3 is the open base model, and Morphic runs it along with Morphic H3, a version with native audio. See the HeyGen Video 1 vs MiniMax H3 comparison for how they differ.
Does HeyGen Video 1 make the audio too?
Yes. The soundtrack is generated with the picture in one pass: spoken lines with matching mouth shapes, the ambience of the setting, and effects on the action. There is no separate lip-sync or sound-design step after the clip is made.
How long and how large can a clip be?
A single clip is 5 to 15 seconds, which is longer than most models allow in one take. Resolution goes from 480p for quick drafts up to 2K for a finished clip, with the higher tiers costing more on the services that host it.
Is HeyGen Video 1 the same as HeyGen's avatars?
No. HeyGen's avatar product turns a script into a presenter video from a stock or custom avatar. HeyGen Video 1 is a general video model that builds a whole scene from a prompt, with its own synced audio. They are different tools from the same company.
Were the clips on this page made with HeyGen Video 1?
No. HeyGen Video 1 is not on Morphic, so every clip here was made on Morphic with other models: the ambience and effect clips with Morphic H3, which generates native audio with the video, and the spoken-dialogue clips with Veo 3.1.
