HeyGen (heygen.com), which creates videos from your text: pick a realistic AI avatar (or create your own), paste your script, and the avatar presents it on camera with a natural voice, in French.

How it works

Trigger: You provide a script — generates the voice, animates the avatar, and syncs the speech, and you get a video presented in French, ready to review.

Step-by-step setup

  1. Create a HeyGen account and choose an avatar from the library.
  2. Write or paste your script in French.
  3. Generate the video and check the voice-image sync.
  4. Add your subtitles and logo, then export.

✅ Strengths

  • Videos presented by an avatar, without showing your face or filming.
  • Permanent free plan (3 videos/month), no credit card required, to test.
  • Creator plan at $29/month (600 credits) when the free plan is no longer enough.

⚠️ Points to watch

  • The free plan is limited: 3 videos/month, 1 minute maximum, with a watermark.
  • State clearly that the video uses an AI avatar: transparency builds trust.
  • Proofread your script carefully: the avatar will say exactly what you write, mistakes included.
⚠️ Guardrails: Clearly state that the video uses an AI avatar: transparency builds trust. Proofread your script carefully: the avatar will say exactly what you write, mistakes included.
