Things just keep getting wilders - day by day The AI-generated avatars are quickly catching up with real people avatars in terms of quality and realism What a time we live in
Next-level motion from @HeyGen_Official I got to play with the new AI Motion from HeyGen, and it blew my mind! You generate an image and describe the motion; then, you can generate long videos from that avatar. Sound effects included! 1. Tales from The Heartland

@MrBinspire @HeyGen_Official Thanks! I think the editing definitely played a bit part here But fun to see how far we can push the creative boundary

Creating high quality avatars has been one of the biggest bottlenecks for HeyGen - or any other AI video startups The quality of the output videos are fundamentally constrained by the quality of the avatars on the platform Being able to generate super realistic avatar model from text prompt is gonna unlock another layer of improvement in the video AI space
We have incorporated HeyGen's avatar model to work seamlessly with Sora, and the results are truly next-level. This is probably the most advanced talking avatar video to date—outperforming real actors in many scenarios. With this, we can precisely fine-tune movements, expressions, and actions without the hassle of repeatedly reshooting real actors. Plus, there's no limit to how long these videos can be. This isn't a digital clone—it's a fully AI-generated human avatar. Check it out!

Damn - this is how you know your team is shipping fast Community avatars is an idea we started kicking around late last year, and a natural next step for HeyGen. But I didn't work on this product directly, so I was even caught off guard by the timing of this release lol Shipping fast or just me not keeping up with my Slack updates. Who knows

@HeyGen_Official @joerogan Who's the person in the video? I mean the person that made the avatar

Joe - wanna create one for yourself? We got you - just holla
😱 Joe Rogan on HeyGen AI Avatars: “CRAZY… Pretty Extraordinary… This is the best version I’ve seen so far!” 🤯 The podcast king @joerogan is blown away by the latest tech from @HeyGen_Official ! When you can barely tell the difference between real and AI-generated content, you know we’re living in wild times. Wanna create similar realistic-looking avatars? Try HeyGen!

This is a bigger deal than most people realize What this unlocks is that you no longer have to provide a high quality video footage to create your video avatar Instead you can just leverage images (good or bad) to train the model For everyone here, we probably all have more photos of ourselves accessible in our phone, on the social media, etc. comparing to videos Meaning the train data is already there - it's just a matter of collecting/ingesting those data Additionally, the realness/quality gap between avatars trained by video vs trained by photos will continues to decrease Avatar creation is getting much easier and this will shake up the landscape. Don't sleep on this
Today, we’re giving creators more freedom to create videos and avatars — without stepping in front of a camera! Simply type what you want, or upload a few photos, and watch as @HeyGen_Official creates ultra-realistic, full-body avatars with natural motion in any outfit, pose, or background using using Multiple Looks. No filming needed—just endless possibilities for fresh video avatars, and on-demand looks. Big s/o to filmmaker @ChristianF369 for creating an awesome community walkthrough.

@businessbarista @HeyGen_Official You output is only as good as your input. And in this case, any emotion in your original recording will likely get toned down slightly in your avatar Over exaggerate your expressiveness + adding some slight body movement during the recording will help

It'd be cool when you can connect the interactive avatar to your twitter profile so you can get a real-time stream of knowledge base And as the Interactive avatar attends a meeting, it self-reinforces its knowledge from the meeting and becomes smarter
Ever wish you could be in two places at once? 🤔 With HeyGen’s Interactive Avatar, now you can! Let your AI twin take over meetings, interviews, sales calls, and more. Check out our launch on Product Hunt!👇
