What it is

Persona Shorts is one of three video render paths in Kompozy. It runs a HeyGen avatar, adds auto-captions, and optionally layers B-roll. No composition template — the avatar sits on HeyGen’s default background (or a solid color).

Use Persona Shorts for straightforward talking-head social video. Use Persona Frames when you want the avatar inside a branded scene. Use Marketing Shorts for a 4-second hook plus demo footage.
