API README

HeyGen Video Agent V3

heygen/video-agent/v3 builds a complete presenter-led video from a high-level creative brief, coordinating planning, script, visuals, narration, and assembly. Video Agent V3 improves autonomous storytelling and scene construction, turning an objective into a more coherent finished video with less manual orchestration. This combination makes the model a practical choice when the creative outcome depends on those qualities rather than on a generic media conversion.

For production work with heygen/video-agent/v3, it is useful for explainers, marketing concepts, educational content, and rapid video production when the desired outcome can be described at the campaign or story level. The result is most reliable when the source material and creative brief clearly describe the intended subject, progression, visual or sonic character, and the qualities that must remain unchanged.

Highlights

Autonomous video planning turns a high-level objective into a structured sequence.

Integrated script development creates narration and scene progression around the brief.

Coherent visual assembly coordinates presenter, supporting imagery, pacing, and transitions.

End-to-end generation reduces manual handoffs from concept through completed video.

When to Use

✅ Good fit❌ Consider alternatives
The model's named workflow matches the source material and intended outputA different input modality or model route is required
A managed asynchronous result is suitable for the production pipelineA synchronous, interactive editor is essential
The documented controls cover the required duration, framing, or formatThe project needs controls outside this endpoint's schema
Creative iteration benefits from a repeatable request structureExact deterministic pixels, frames, geometry, or samples are mandatory
A finished downloadable media asset is the desired deliverableEditable source layers or a native project file are required

Prompt Guide

For generation, state the intended result first, then add the subject or source treatment, progression, style, and delivery constraints. Keep one creative variable per phrase, use the documented field names for controls, and change one setting at a time when comparing results.

  "prompt": "Create a 30-second product demo video showcasing our new AI features with professional lighting and modern graphics."
