Make presenter videos with HeyGen

15 min read · Intermediate · Guide 6 of 9

HeyGen gives your lesson a presenter: an AI avatar that speaks your audio, or a translated copy of a video you filmed. HeyGen lists Haitian Creole for video translation, so it can also make your Kreyòl version (HeyGen help).

Way A: an avatar speaks your audio

1. Pick a stock avatar, or make an avatar of yourself. Never make an avatar of another person without their written consent.
2. Upload the audio for one lesson and one language.
3. Watch the whole video once. Check that the lips match and nothing is cut off.

Way B: translate a video you filmed

1. Film yourself teaching in English or French. A phone on a stack of books, at eye level, near a window, is enough.
2. Use HeyGen's video translation to make the other languages.
3. For Kreyòl, test one short lesson first. Lip-sync can be less good in languages with less data, so check it before you translate the whole course.

Keep the video light

• Export at 720p. Learners on cheap phones do not see more, and the file is much smaller.
• Keep each lesson under 6 minutes.
• Use few words on screen. Learners often listen more than they watch.

Kreyòl check: the speaker watches every Kreyòl video before you publish it. A translation can be right in text and still sound wrong when spoken.
