Pros

Very positive experience and good customer support so far. Seems like they are continuously adding more avatars too, which I appreciate.
Very easy to use, beautiful templates. The voice is very professional and pleasant.
The interface is easy to understand and navigate. I love how previous versions of projects completed are saved in the workspace.

Pros

Overall quality is great , I think it's probably the next best thing to sliced bread an I dare say better than sex.
Clients have referenced that the client assistance, cost and quality are great worth.
Some features very likeable so very nice tool that's colled AI and so amazing.

Cons

Sometimes you have to make adjustments to the text in order to sound right, that can be a little tricky and annoying at times.
Many of the avatars still look and sound fake.
The diction can sometimes be difficult to navigate.

Cons

It is way too slow for me. It keeps stopping mid sentence and I have to continue it and in order to pick up where it left off, I have to remind it where it was cut off.
Nothing honestly and if I had something bad to say trust me I would DEFINATELY say it.
For instance, the word "Digital" in Spanish is pronounced as English, and it sounds a little weird. Also, my last name (Pinkus) is pronounced as it were two words Pink+Us.

Using Synthesia allows me to write up a script, put it into the platform, adjust a few items and boom, I'm done. In the past year Synthesia has released multiple updates that make the user experience as simple as can be, showing they are taking feedback from their users and implementing it.

Went down the Synthesia Rabbit Hole

Reviewed a year ago

The format tends to guide you away from all of the traditional mistakes. Like waffling, drifting off topic and providing videos that are just too long. The first marketing video I did for a resale had 41% viewing to conclusion of video compared to 8% that we achieved with me rambling on and boring everyone.

Pros

Using video for digital marketing and franchisee newsletters. Its fast inexpensive compared to how we used to do it and the editing is much simpler.

Cons

The AI is still not quite there yet, that could be me not using all of the gestures.

Notes from the cutting floor

Reviewed a year ago

Synthesia is a great AI video creation tool, with a plethora of options and avatars available. As time goes on, these are added to, and with it new features. My experience at creating Synthesia videos has sharpened my grammar skills, because I have realised that after the AI has analysed my script, the avatars speak more naturally and realistically if my script is written properly.

Pros

Timely use of animations can make Synthesia videos shine. The variety of animations available is pleasing. I also love that stock footage is available to use (videos/still images). Some of the avatars move so naturally (to the AI interpreted hand written script) that i find it hard to remember that they are AI generated.

Cons

Synthesia frequently release new content and updates, which is great. The trouble is, sometimes it causes my home made uploaded images to be disconnected from video templates that I have placed them in previously.

Michael Du Preez review on Synthesia.io

Reviewed a year ago

I am able to convey large amounts of materials that would have otherwise taken a lot of time in meetings and it also saves a lot of students money from class by having most of the basic information up on the internet as a nice engaging video, with an AI to act as a kind of "teacher". It works very well and the feedback on using AI for the Hemp industry's videos have been great.

Pros

The text to speech and selection of real life looking avatars gives the impression that its someone real, in fact many of my peers enquire if the avatar is doing fine, as I give them a name in the videos! The video recording feature is a life-saver, because that removes the image only limit and greatly increases the type of content to present. The many different template layouts also make it an easy to use and choose option.

Cons

They removed the ability to easily copy the subtitles because even if you draw up a script, once busy with the video editing, the script changes as I make it suit better. Now the subtitles have to be downloaded, which requires an additional download from the internet to find a suitable application to open the subtitles file. It was an oversight and an unnecessary change from the developers' side.

In my company, Synthesia holds the top position as the preferred collaboration and video presentation tool

Reviewed 5 months ago

Synthesia is a tool that helps me in minimizing repetitive meetings and tasks. It replaces me in various platforms and thereby represents me in a much more professional way. Using Synthesia, I'm able to summarize complete processes and procedures, and thereby reduce the efforts I'd normally have to devote myself into.

Pros

With just a few simple mouse clicks, I can transform plain text and ideas into professional videos effortlessly. The integration of AI, particularly, empowers me to produce captivating and polished videos.

Cons

I find very little to dislike about the application. I am astounded and pleasantly surprised by the extensive range of features and functionalities the tool offers.

Very Pleased with the software

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

We have been using Synthesia for over 6 months now and are pleased with it. In the time that we have used it, they have regularly made improvements and upgrades to it, so it is even better now than it was when we first started with it. We have used it for many purposes- presentations, Facebook ad videos, YouTube FAQ videos, and more.

Cons

The AI movements have improved but still have some weird quirks and room for improvement. Also, the pronunciation of certain words is odd, even when you tell them specifically how to say it.

Saves time & money

Reviewed a year ago

Saving time and money creating professional training materials.

Pros

This tool is easy to use and allows the user to create professional productions cheaply and quickly. It integrates well with other tools, and I am able to pull in elements from other AI and creative tools. I am also able to use materials produced on Synthesia as components of productions created using other tools and platforms. For me, they most attractive feature is how it speeds up production time and lowers production costs. Need an edit? No problem. The whole process is smooth and quick. The AI narration voices include some very natural sounding voice options. The AI scriptwriting tool is great. It allows me to move outside of my normal "voice" as it comes up with creative ways to phrase ideas. I am a big fan of Synthesia!

Cons

The music options still need a bit of refining. I would like to be able to search by mood, tempo, or genre. I would also like the option to fade the music by a certain percentage at specific places in the scenes. I would like to be able to have the music automatically adjust around the speech, with a continuous track for the whole presentation. At the moment, I add music to the final production in using video editing software. Some of the AI avatars are a bit twitchy when you have a pause in the narration.

Synthesia

A Powerful AI Video Creation Tool

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

The thing I liked most about Synthesia is how quickly and easily it can create high-quality AI-generated videos from just text. Simply type in a script, choose a voice model, and Synthesia handles the rest - lip sync, gestures, facial expressions, everything. The end result looks very natural and human-like. This makes it super simple for anyone to generate professional video content.

Cons

The main downside is that Synthesia is still a relatively new product and has a few limitations. For example, there are limited options for syncing an avatar with your own (uploaded) voice. There are also limited options for customizing the virtual humans. So while it's fantastic for basic videos, Synthesia may not be robust enough for more complex, highly-produced video projects. But I'm sure it will continue improving over time.

Even with some bugs on the way and missing some features that I am sure are on the way to being fixed and released, using Synthesia was a very dynamic process and experience!
