Presentation video with avatar and pictures using Heygen

How To
1

Hi

I want to create a video avatar presenting a list of books.

Inputs to Heygen:

  • book title (from Google sheet)
  • book author (from Google sheet)
  • book cover page (image from Google sheet)
  • book summary (text from another AI)

I am able to create a video avatar for each book using title, author, summary fields.

I don’t understand how to add and position an image (cover page) on the video together with the avatar. I want the image to be of the left and the avatar on the right of the screen.

I mention I was able to create the desired video layout manually directly in Heygen. The difference here is that I am using Heygen API Key in Make.

Second optional question is how to concatenate all videos together since Heygen is currently generating one video per book (Google sheet row).

Thanks

I am in UTC+3, available for next 14 hrs, and flexible since it’s the month of Ramadan.

Feel free to ping and we can work it out then.

Attached screenshots showing layout objective and Heygen dialog box. I don’t know how to configure an item to add an image.

Those extra layout features might not be available through the Heygen API.

You might want to take a look at a couple of other widely used video manipulation tools available on Make that could add those to your Heygen videos:

Both of these provide features for adding cover pages, chyron/ticket strips and video concatenation.

Thanks David. I will have a look.
Do these tools offer free API Key access even for a limited use? that would be sufficient for my project.

I’d suggest checking the Pricing pages of both tools for the authoritative answer.
