HeyGen Likes & Dislikes
What I like most about this product is how quickly I can turn a script into a polished, professional looking video without needing any filming editing or voice resources. Also, translations are done great because you record a video in English and it gives you dozens of different languages with one click. The avatar functionality looks surprisingly natural, especially with the latest lip-sync improvements, and the quality is consistently clear and human-like. This has dramatically cut down our production time for training and customer facing video content and explainer videos that we develop. I also appreciate how simple the workflow is, just drag drop, edit and render. It feels designed for non-experts, which makes adoption across the team extremely easy.
Voice cloning, multilingual dubbing, and the customizability of the avatars has made a huge impact in the speed of video production and go-to-market.
My favourite tool within HeyGen is Avatar IV. It's truly impressive. Some additional minutes in the Creator Plan for this tool would be great though.
It makes video creation incredibly fast and simple, and the avatars and video quality are strong enough to use in real production content. What I like most is the workflow being intuitive so that anyone on our team can produce polished videos in minutes. What I dislike most is the limited avatar customization. For example, you cannot always fine tune gestures, expressions, or pacing. Also, rendering slows down during peak times, which may be a case only for me but most of the time it is quick but occasionally the render queue up longer than expected. Another issue that I observed is the audiovisual mismatches in complex scripts when scripts include technical terms or fast pacing or multiple languages in the same script the lip sync and intonation can sometimes slip.
There are still some limitations, of course: The avatars sometimes lack emotional nuance and can feel robotic. When reading a script with AI voiceover, there are sometimes unnatural pauses and you have to fiddle with the copy in order for HeyGen to read it correctly. And, the pricing structure is a bit confusing.
Sometimes the generate motion tool to bring life to an image goes wrong (awkward backwards blinking etc) and then you quickly run out of generate motion-credits for an image.

Effortless high-quality AI video creation that feels like magic
Overall, my experience with HeyGen has been excellent, the platform consistently delivers high-quality AI videos with very natural lip syncing and voice performance, which has made it incredibly easy to scale the production without relying on video recording again and again. We mostly use this tool with our team for translating videos to different languages. There's almost no learning curve. Updates are done frequently without disruption or loss. Reliability has also been a major differentiator for us for our projects exports are fast and quality is consistently strong, especially the lip-sync feels like magic. The combination of ease of use, realistic outputs, especially the facial details and dependable performance is ultimately what made this rating. - Marketing Program Manager50M-1B USDSoftwareReview Source
AI-Powered Avatars Accelerate Video Creation but Emotional Depth Remains Limited
HeyGen has significantly expedited the creation of certain types of video content by using AI voiceovers and other avatar features. - DIGITAL MEDIA PRODUCER50M-1B USDRetailReview Source
Avatar Creation Features Are Strong, But Motion Generation Needs Improvement
We use HeyGen as a tool to create our own Avatars in different outfits and scenarios. However, in my opinion there is room for improvement in the "generate motion" section. Motion can get haywire sometimes and turn into cringeworthy blinking and rather unnatural movements. HeyGen IV is very impressive and the lip sync feels very natural and the lighting throughout the scene is consistent (which superior to other AI video generators). - HEAD OF COMMUNICATIONS1B-10B USDEnergy and UtilitiesReview Source
Easy dubbing for materials in multiple languages
HeyGen's dubbing helped our team deliver multilingual induction videos for our operations sites, without a full production workflow. It was accurate enough for our needs and most importantly fast. - Product Marketing Manager<50M USDIT ServicesReview Source
AI Avatars Offer Variety But Lack Realistic Expressions and Dynamic Voices
It is an extremely useful tool for creating Sales & pre-sales content. I would have liked it to have more realistic avatars with better expressions though. It is very easy to use.
