How to Use Instant Highlights

Step One: Accessing the Tool

Sign up or Login to your Heygen account (Instant Highlights BETA is available for both Free and Paid users). Navigate to the Instant Highlights feature in the Labs section of your dashboard.

Paste the video URL or Upload the video you want to create a highlight reel from.

Step Three: Choose your input language

When submitting your video, you’ll select the INPUT language (the video’s original language). Please note that this feature does not translate the highlights into another language. If you need translations, you can use our Video Translate feature afterward!


Step Four: Customize Your Instant Highlight Clips

  • Highlight Instructions: Specify the parts of the video you want to highlight.

  • Clip Duration: Set the desired duration range for your highlight clips.

  • Clip Aspect Ratio: Choose the aspect ratio for your clips (16:9, 9:16, or 1:1).

  • Caption Settings: Toggle captions on or off as needed.

Let our AI automatically identify and create the highlights for you.
