Summary
A creation studio for character video — expressive talking avatars from a single image and an audio track.

Description
Hedra makes characters talk. Give it one image and an audio clip and it produces video with lip sync, facial expression, and head movement that tracks the emotion of the speech — a much higher bar than mouth shapes moving in time.
What is in the studio
- Character video from a photo, illustration, or generated image plus audio
- Voice generation, so you can go from a script to a finished speaking character without recording anything
- Image generation for creating the character in the first place
- Video generation for scenes and B-roll around the talking shots
- A timeline editor that assembles the pieces into a finished video rather than leaving you with loose clips
Who it is for
Creators making explainer videos, educators producing course content, marketers localising a message across languages, and anyone who needs a presenter without a camera. It works with stylised characters as well as photorealistic ones, which is unusual and makes it viable for animation.
Free credits are available; paid tiers add length, resolution, commercial rights, and API access. Consent for any real person's likeness is a requirement, not an afterthought.
