Data Transfer Guide
Export final video files from HeyGen by downloading them individually or in batches as MP4 files. Scripts should be copied manually or exported as text files—there's no direct script export feature. AI avatars and voice clones cannot be transferred; you must recreate them in Colossyan using their avatar library and voice recording system. For team migration, export user lists and project metadata separately. When importing to Colossyan, upload video files as reference material only—you'll recreate videos using Colossyan's native tools. Scripts can be pasted directly into Colossyan's editor. Organize imported assets using Colossyan's project folders for better management.
