How do I translate a video with HeyGen?

Short answer: You can translate video in HeyGen by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the HeyGen Translate Video action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Translate Video.

What does the Translate Video action do in HeyGen?
Takes a source video and target language, produces a localised version with lip-sync re-aligned to the new audio. The HeyGen differentiator — best-in-class video translation for global content workflows.
What inputs does Translate Video require?
Required: Video URL, Output Language. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if HeyGen returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message HeyGen returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Translate Video support batch operations?
Run Translate Video inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within HeyGen's rate limits.
