How long does it take HeyGen to generate a video through Claude?

A roughly one-minute video typically renders in about 2 to 4 minutes. You can check render status through the MCP connection instead of waiting on the HeyGen dashboard.

How much does HeyGen cost after the free minutes run out?

The Creator plan is 29 dollars a month for 15 minutes of video, and the Business plan is 89 dollars a month for 30 minutes.

How do I connect HeyGen to Claude Code for video generation?

Run the http transport install command with your HeyGen API key as a Bearer token, since the server is hosted by HeyGen itself with nothing to install locally. The first request triggers a browser OAuth approval, and after that Claude can create and check on videos in later sessions.

Can HeyGen dub and lip-sync videos into other languages?

Yes. It supports translation with matching lip-sync across a wide range of languages and voices, which makes it useful for adapting one marketing video for multiple markets instead of reshooting it.

Does creating a video through Claude require any video editing skill?

No. You describe the script, tone, and length in plain language, and HeyGen's avatar and voice engine handles the actual production. There's no timeline or editor involved on the Claude side.
