Character-3
Hedra Character 3 turns an image and audio track into a lip-synced talking or singing character video.
Hedra Character 3 is an image-to-video model for creating speech-driven avatars, presenters, marketing clips, explainers, and character storytelling. It processes a start frame, audio, and optional text, with outputs up to 10 minutes long.
It supports 540p, 720p, and 1080p video across several aspect ratios, plus multi-language and audio-driven generation. Use requires Hedra credits or API access; the model does not create a complete edited production by itself.
