**HeyGen Video 1** generates one unbroken shot from a description, up to a minute long. The clip lands in your
project's files, and the agent places it on the timeline.

## Ask the agent for a clip

<HoverVideo className="hf-aside hf-spot" src="https://static.heygen.ai/hyperframes-oss/docs/studio-demos/video1-tool-v2.mp4" poster="/public/images/studio-app/spots/video1-tool-v2.jpg" hasAudio={false} label="Tools (#), then HeyGen Video 1" />

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Tools">
    In the chat, type **#** to open **HyperFrames tools**, then pick **HeyGen Video 1**.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Set the length">
    Choose the length pill to open **Length in seconds**. A clip can be 5 to 60 seconds; it starts at 15.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Describe the shot">
    Say what happens, how the camera moves and how it should look, then send. The agent makes the clip and puts it on
    the timeline.
  </Step>
</Steps>


You can steer the clip in the same message:

- **Start from a picture**: give an image and it becomes the clip's exact first frame.
- **Match a look**: give up to 9 reference images.
- **Copy a movement**: give one reference video of 5 seconds or less (trim a longer one first; the app refuses it), plus a picture of the person who should do the move. The clip is then one take of up to 15 seconds, with no start picture.
- **Shape**: 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, at 480p or 768p (768p is the default).

## Or use Generate media

**Generate media** makes a clip without a chat message. Find it on an empty timeline, or in the words bar. Choose **Video**, pick the **Video 1** model,
set **Quality**, and add a **Start from** picture if you want one. This form makes clips of 5 to 15 seconds, in 16:9 or
9:16. The same form also offers **H3 Max** and **Seedance**.

## Change a clip you already have

Select a video in the preview and choose **Generate media** in the bar above it. Describe the change ("make it snow",
"turn it into a night scene") and choose **Make**. The bar shows what it will cost at most and what's left on your key
before you start.

*"Make it snow": HeyGen Video 1 whitened the roof and gave her a new movement, and the new clip lands in Media.
The wait is sped up.*

Keep the clip small: a 5-second 1080p file of 7.8 MB came back with **The references are too large to send**, while
the same shot at 720p went through.

## What it costs

In the chat, the agent makes the clip as soon as you ask, without a separate price check; the **Generate media**
form shows the price before you start. It is paid from your HyperFrames plan when
the plan covers it, otherwise from the HeyGen API credits on the key in **Settings**.

If a clip stops with **Out of API credits**, add credits in HeyGen and try again. If it asks you to set up your key,
add your HeyGen API key in **Settings**, or choose a plan.
