Scripts are the foundation of every video you create in HeyGen. They tell your avatar what to say and shape the narrative across your scenes. Whether you're building a product demo, onboarding guide, or social content, your script is where it all begins.
Each scene in your video can have its own script, making it easy to structure multi-part messages and guide your viewer through a clear story. Let's dive in.
How to Add a New Script
To create a new section of your video with its own script:
Click Add Scene
Choose either Blank or From Template
Type your script directly into the script editor
That’s it! Once your script is in place, you can assign an avatar, voice, and background to match your message.
💡 Pro Tip: To get the best results, click the play button next to your script to preview how it sounds before submitting your video. This lets you catch any awkward phrasing or pacing issues early.
How to Add a Pause in Scripts
To make your script sound more natural, you can add pauses between sentences. Simply place your cursor where you’d like the pause, then click the Pause button. Use the + or – icons to adjust the pause length in 0.5-second intervals.
That’s all there is to it! We hope these tools make it easier for you to bring your words to life in AI Studio. For specific questions or troubleshooting tips, reach out to [email protected].
