Okay, so I've been kicking the tires on HeyGen for some explainer videos—you know, the "here's why our new microservice architecture is melting the budget" kind of thing. It's pretty slick for whipping up a talking avatar quickly.
But here's my beef: I can't seem to get a video out that looks crisp on anything bigger than a laptop screen. The max resolution I'm seeing is 720p. I feel like I'm deploying an app with a hardcoded replica count of 1—it works, but you wouldn't want to scale it. 😅
I'm trying to use these for internal tech talks, and when I throw it up on the big monitor in the conference room, it starts looking like a pixelated Kubernetes dashboard from 2015. Am I missing a setting buried somewhere, or is this really the ceiling? If it's the latter, that's a pretty serious limitation for anything beyond casual Slack shares.
For a tool that's this clever with AI, the output feels like it's stuck in a low-res config file. Anyone else run into this, or have a workaround?
