Default Avatar Selection
If you don't specify an avatar type in your prompt, HeyGen might choose an animated character by default. You can switch to a realistic avatar with just one click in 'Edit' mode.
Editor Flexibility
Even though the video is automatically generated via a prompt, every element—such as the script, voice, and background music—remains fully editable manually before you perform the final export.
Effective Prompting Tips
For the best results, ensure your prompt is specific. State your target audience and desired tone so the Video Agent can draft a more accurate script.
