What you'll accomplish

By the end of this guide, you'll have produced a professional-looking presenter video for your eLearning course — without a camera, a studio, a video crew, or even a human presenter. You'll be able to create module introductions, segment narrators, and course conclusion videos from a script in under an hour. When the presenter's lines change because a stakeholder wants edits, you regenerate in minutes rather than rescheduling a shoot.

What you'll need

  • A HeyGen account (heygen.com — free trial includes 1 minute of video)
  • A finalized script for your presenter video (150–300 words per 1–2 minute video)
  • Your course's color palette or branding guidelines (if matching to a client template)
  • Time needed: 45–60 minutes for your first video; 15–20 minutes after you know the workflow
  • Cost: Free trial (1 min) / $29/month Essential / $89/month Pro
