Key features

Features of an Educational Video Maker for Lessons and Training

AI generates scripts from your notes

Add lesson notes, an outline, or a few text prompts, and watch it generate a script with natural narration and visual cues. The video script generator organises your ideas into a clear storyboard, so you can start creating your video quickly instead of beginning with a blank timeline.

Natural voice-overs in over 177 languages and dialects

Choose from AI voices for lesson narration in over 177 languages and dialects. Adjust the voice, pronunciation, pace and script in the editor, then use AI dubbing to localise completed educational videos for different audiences.

Captions, subtitles and text animations

Make every learning video accessible right from the start. Captions and subtitles are generated automatically and remain synchronised with your narration, while text animations highlight key points. Simple editing tools and drag-and-drop controls allow you to adjust any video content, and the subtitle generator refines the wording with a single click.

Ready-to-use templates and scenes

Start with ready-made, customisable video templates designed for lessons, then adjust colours, fonts, visuals and scene elements. You can also upload lesson documents and use PDF to video to turn PDF material into narrated scenes without starting from scratch.

Edit, update and embed any lesson

Keep content up to date without filming again. Change a sentence, replace an example or update a figure in the text-based editor, then re-render it in minutes. The AI video editor quickly refreshes outdated lessons, and you can embed each finished video in your LMS to ensure video-based learning remains accurate.

How can I create an educational video using AI and my own notes?

Begin with lesson notes, an outline, or a script. HeyGen can transform this material into a script and scene structure. You can then select the presentation style, voice, visuals, and captions, review the result, and generate the educational video.

Is there a free educational video maker, and what additional features do paid plans offer?
