November Updates

by Alec Lindsay

Our recent HeyGen Webinar walked through using the HeyGen Create Video from Template functionality to dynamically generate videos. You can check it out on YouTube here!

Secondly, we have made a few improvements to different endpoints, including:

  • The Video.List endpoint will now return all videos generated, including Translated Videos, and other useful details, such as Video Create Date.
  • We have increased the maximum number of Scenes that can be created with the Generate Video endpoint from 10 to 50. Create longer and more complex videos!
  • Enterprise customers can now utilize a Brand Voice in the Video Translate endpoint.

As a reminder, you can utilize the Get Remaining Quota endpoint to see how many API Credits you have remaining at any given time.

  • Translate a Video Action: You can now translate your videos into various languages directly through Zapier. Integrate video translations seamlessly into your workflows.
  • Enhanced Help Texts: We've added detailed explanations and usage tips for all parameters across every action, making it easier to understand input formats, limitations, and more.

The HeyGen Zapier integration 2.0 is here! 🎉 Here are some of the key updates:

  • Custom Avatars: Custom avatars are now supported in the "Create an Avatar Video" and "Create a Video From Template" actions.
  • Multiple Scenes: Added support for multiple scenes in the "Create an Avatar Video" action.
  • V2 API Update: All parameters for the "Create an Avatar Video" action are now supported, along with the latest AI Studio changes for your templates.
  • OAuth Issue Fixed: The OAuth issue has been resolved, ensuring no more Zap interruptions.
  • And more updates are coming soon!
