What still needs editing after you translate a walkthrough?
HeyGen can translate the spoken audio and, in supported modes, align lip movement or add translated captions. A button label baked into the original footage stays in that language. Plan a separately recorded screen or replace those graphics in an editor if the viewer needs the new wording on screen.
The translation guide expects one spoken source language. Review names, steps and timing with someone who understands the target language. The built-in Proofread tool is limited to the plans listed in the translation guide.
What should you check before using a face, voice or private demo?
Get permission for any material you provide. To create a video-based Digital Twin, HeyGen requires the same person shown in the footage to record their own consent video. For a finished clip, check the Share audience before copying its link. Anyone-with-link sharing can reach people beyond your team.
What does your plan let you download?
On current credit-based subscriptions, different video generation and translation features use credits at different rates. Free uses a quota rather than credits and lists a 720p sharing link. The paid export guide describes file download and separate captions. Keep the source footage, revised script, finished video and caption file when your plan allows downloading them.
How can you review a translated clip before sharing it?
Write two lines for a fictional walkthrough and draw the on-screen button next to them. Do this on paper without uploading footage or creating a presenter.
- Check each layerMark the spoken line, captions and button text separately. The viewer should hear the right instruction and see a matching button.
- Decide who should see itWrite down the intended audience and which link or file would go to them. The paper check does not test link permissions or translation quality.
