HeyGen Video
HeyGen · Video · Text → Video
HeyGen Video — video with native audio from text, a first-frame image, or up to 12 reference images, videos and audio. Refer to references in the prompt as Picture 1, Video 1, in input order. Up to 15s at 768p.
heygen-video-1Workflow: heygen/v1/models/video/generateOverview
Alongside the unified model APIs, we expose compatibility APIs that take each vendor's original parameters exactly as the vendor defines them — nothing renamed, nothing reshaped on the way through.
That makes them the shortest path onto Picsart if you already work with the vendor directly: the request bodies you've already written keep working as they are. You keep their parameter names and defaults, and you get the vendor's full parameter set rather than the subset that is shared across every model.
The cost is that a request is written for one vendor — switching models later means rewriting it, and results come back in the vendor's own shape. When you'd rather write once and change models freely, use the unified API.
Make a request
Call the workflow with ai.apis.run() in TypeScript, or hit /workflows/{workflow}/execute directly — params is passed through untouched either way.
These endpoints are addressed by workflow name rather than model id: the one in this model's header, since one model runs as one workflow. Authentication is unchanged — your Picsart API key as a bearer token (see Authentication).
import { createClient, ApiRunMode } from '@picsart/ai-sdk';
const ai = createClient({
apiKey: process.env.PICSART_API_KEY,
apiUrl: 'https://api.picsart.com',
});
// Calls the 'heygen/v1/models/video/generate' workflow directly — params are sent as-is.
const { result, usage } = await ai.apis.run('heygen/v1/models/video/generate', {
prompt: "A serene mountain lake at golden hour, ultra detailed"
}, {
mode: ApiRunMode.SYNC,
});
console.log(result); // workflow-specific output
console.log(usage?.credits); // credits chargedAsync (submit & poll)
This model can run longer than the sync limit (~20s). In TypeScript, ai.apis.run(…, { mode: ApiRunMode.ASYNC }) polls for you; over HTTP, submit and poll yourself.
import { createClient, ApiRunMode } from '@picsart/ai-sdk';
const ai = createClient({
apiKey: process.env.PICSART_API_KEY,
apiUrl: 'https://api.picsart.com',
});
// mode: ASYNC submits the job and polls under the hood — you just await.
const { result } = await ai.apis.run('heygen/v1/models/video/generate', {
prompt: "A serene mountain lake at golden hour, ultra detailed"
}, {
mode: ApiRunMode.ASYNC,
});
console.log(result);Parameters
13 parameters, sent inside params. These are the vendor's own names, so they line up one-for-one with the vendor's documentation. Required ones must be supplied; the rest fall back to their defaults.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
promptScene description, 1 to 32,000 characters. Long prompts give materially better output. The generated audio is directed by the same prompt | string | yes | — | — |
modelModel identifier; defaults to heygen-video-1 | string | no | — | — |
modeHow the model is conditioned. Resolved from the inputs when omitted: image → image_to_video, any reference → reference_to_video, a bare prompt → text_to_video. Each mode has its own fields — a field from another mode is refused when it carries a value | string | no | — | text_to_videoimage_to_videoreference_to_video |
durationClip length in whole seconds, 5 to 15; defaults to 5 | number | no | — | — |
resolutionSize class; defaults to 768p | string | no | — | 480p768p |
aspect_ratioOutput shape. text_to_video defaults to 16:9; reference_to_video defaults to adaptive (the first reference's ratio); image_to_video always follows the first frame | string | no | — | 21:916:94:31:13:49:16adaptive |
prompt_enhancementPre-generation prompt expansion; defaults to turbo. Use disabled to have a fully written prompt followed word for word | string | no | — | turboqualitydisabled |
seedUnsigned 32-bit seed. The same prompt and seed return an identical clip; random when omitted. The completed job reports the seed it used | number | no | — | — |
imageFirst frame of the clip (image_to_video only, required there). The output opens exactly on this image and follows its shape | object | no | — | — |

Response
Over HTTP the output arrives inside a status envelope, at response.result. ai.apis.run() unwraps that envelope for you and resolves to { result, usage } instead. Either way the resultitself is the vendor's own shape.
