AI video start-up Hedra aims to expand its AI video platform from the creator economy to the enterprise, and has recently raised $32 million to help it achieve that goal. Hedra has raised $44 million since its last fundraising effort in 2024.
Hedra offers a unified solution for creating AI-generated high-quality videos from dialog and image input. With the Hedra Studio content creation platform, users can create professional videos by inputting dialog and generating or uploading character images, and then the company’s AI platform takes over. It processes images, text, and audio simultaneously to create high-quality videos featuring talking, singing, and rapping characters. The centerpiece of Hedra’s offerings is Character-3, which the company claims is the first omnimodal AI foundation model that seamlessly blends text, images, and audio to generate character performance videos.
