# What’s new at HeyGen: July 2026 By Steven Van · 2026-08-17 The updates are live, with 30-minute avatar videos available through both the API and web app. Custom motion graphics are now part of Video Agent in [HeyGen](), alongside a new two-host Video Podcast app and longer avatar videos. The [July release roundup]() also adds ways to turn websites and Figma designs into videos. All of the updates were live at publication. ## Two-host video podcasts Video Podcast turns a script, URL, PDF, document, or topic into a show with two AI hosts sharing a studio scene. It automatically adds wide shots, host close-ups, and B-roll over the dialogue. Users can edit individual script lines before rendering, with the voice updating automatically. A real co-host can join through an email invitation using their own avatar, without needing a HeyGen account. ## Custom graphics from a prompt HyperFrames now runs inside Video Agent in the web app. A single prompt can generate a script, voiceover, avatar presenter, pacing, captions, music, and motion graphics written as code. The agent builds graphics around the request and can pull images from the web or generate media to use within them. ## Continuous 30-minute avatar videos Avatar III, IV, and V can now generate a single **30-minute** talking video in one pass, on both the API and the web app. That is ten times HeyGen's previous maximum, allowing courses, training modules, and long explainers to use one continuous video without stitching short clips together. ## More HyperFrames workflows - **Website to video:** Pasting a URL lets the agent capture the site's screens, fonts, and colors, write a story, add narration and music, and render a launch video. The first try is free. - **Figma to video:** A new /figma skill takes a Figma URL and creates a video that preserves the file's colors, fonts, and frames. - **Media library:** HyperFrames includes more than 10,000 music tracks and 75,000 images, plus sound effects, logos, and access to HeyGen's generative image and video models. It is free with any HeyGen login, and assets cache locally. - **Storyboarding:** Companion mode proposes five angles, presents a storyboard, and sketches key frames for approval before building. Users steer the process and render only what they have approved. - **Open-source KeyFrames:** Code-based keyframe animation lets agents inspect and fix their motion output. HyperFrames Studio also includes a visual keyframe editor for manual adjustments.
