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.

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 workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
