HeyGen Extends Text-to-Video Model to Generate 30-Second Clips in Single Pass at Discounted Rate

HeyGen has expanded its proprietary video generation model to produce complete 30-second videos from text or images in a single generation pass, marking a significant jump in creative output capacity. The extended capability, now live via HeyGen's API, represents a substantial increase from the model's initial 5–15 second range introduced at launch on September 30, 2026. During the platform's limited promotional period through October 2026, users can generate video at $0.01 per second for 480p resolution, with standard pricing reverting to $0.02 per second afterward.
