Spend Credits on Purpose
Plans, the credit ledger, free-plan limits and the habit of budgeting every video before the first render.
Academy / HeyGen Music Video Ladder / Level 1
HeyGen Music Video Foundations: AI Music Video
Level 1 takes you from a finished song to a first exported music video with HeyGen. You learn what the tool is and is not, read the plan and credit ledger before you render, prepare a performer with a consent record, run your first sung performance, plan shots from the song and release your first cutdown.
Let the Song Drive
Preparing a master, Photo-to-Video, Presenter Mode with audio upload, Cinematic B-roll and the honest limits of lip sync.
Plan, Check and Release
Shot lists, a quality-control checklist, AI Studio captions, export settings and your first social cutdown.
What You’ll Cover
Go from a finished song to a first music video without wasting a credit.
Twelve sessions covering the workspace, the consent ledger, a first sung performance, Presenter and Cinematic modes, shot planning, quality control, lyric captions, export and the MWHQ song-to-video-to-social pipeline.
You can budget a short music video, generate and review performance and B-roll shots, finish the cut with your own master and export a release-ready file.
Where This Level Fits
Level 1 gives you the method and the ledgers.
Level 2 adds full-song timelines, Video Agent, editor finishing, character consistency and a release workflow. Level 3 applies everything to the API, clients, rights and business.
Right if you have a finished song you hold the rights to and a modern browser. No video experience required.
