Where to Access the AI Video Generator?
This is no longer just about avatars speaking, it’s about complete video video assets (B-roll) generation.
The power of B-roll is integrated exactly where you need it:
The " App Library" Tools Section: Navigate to Apps → Generate AI Video. This is your dedicated workspace for batch-creating high-fidelity environment clips, product close-ups, or motion backgrounds before you start your main edit.
How to Video assets
AI Video Generator gives you control like a real production set:
Avatar → choose or create a character (realistic or stylized)
Location → place your scene anywhere (studio, office, beach, city…
Camera angles → close-up, wide shot, dynamic movement, tracking shots
Music & sound → set mood with background music or ambiance
Reference assets → upload images or videos to guide the style
Prompt direction → tell the system exactly what to do
👉 You’re not just generating a video, you’re directing it.
Use HeyGen's presets for fast, high-quality creation
The result: a natural, dynamic video that feels much closer to real production than a traditional talking-head avatar.
Powered by Seedance2 & VEO 3.1
The engine behind AI Video Generator combines powerful models:

VEO 3.1 → advanced image-to-video transformation
How many credits does a video cost with Seedance2 & VEO3.1?
Generating video assets with Seedance2 uses 4 premium credits per 1 seconds of video at 720p resolution, and 10 premium credits per 1 second of 1080p video. 4K video creation is not currently available on Seedance 2 inside HeyGen. A 15 second video using Seedance2 can cost either 60 or 100 premium credits, depending if you choose 720p or 1080p resolution.
Generating video assets with VEO3 costs 90 credits for any generation, as the length and resolution are controlled via the prompt itself, but with less precision than with Seedance2. HeyGen recommends using Seedance2 for more accurate video asset generation.
Together, they deliver cinematic-quality output from minimal input.
