Now that I use Synthesia I produce many more videos than I ever did before. I find that customers / potential customers find our video content much more engaging than simply images, so being able to create even short videos quickly is a huge advantage. In the past, I would sometimes opt for non-video content simply because there's no time or resources to do otherwise. With Synthesia this is not a problem. Overall, I am an absolute fan of Synthesia and I highly recommend it.

Pros

With Synthesia I can create great-quality, professional videos at the fraction of the time that it used to take me before, although I am an experienced user of other video creation tools, such as Adobe Premiere Pro. Synthesia is very easy to use, intutitive, and realy saves a lot of time. And the quality of the avatars is amazing. I created my own avatar using a simple self-made studio set-up at home. The avatar is great and I use it all the time.

Cons

I sometimes find it difficult to set the right pace for the voice-over i.e. when the avatar speaks I need to add quite a few pauses, etc. into the script even when I deliberately choose the voice which speaks slowly an clearly. I also sometimes have trouble with text editing. For example, I often cannot select the text I wish to edit right away and need to click / try 2-3-4 times before I can change font size, for example, or the fint itself. Don't know why this happens.

Reasons for Switching to Synthesia

Actually, I did not so much choose Synthesia over the alternative products, it's just that I use Synthesia for most video creation now and leave other types of video content creation to tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro. I still need other tools but for 70% of what I need in terms of video I can now do with Synthesia.

Overall I have had a positive experience with Synthesia. As long as clients know that we are using AI generated avatars, the output is well received the majority of the time.

Pros

I like the quick and easy workflow which allows me to generate content for my eLearning clients and edit it very quickly when required. I love the multi-lingual options too, and use these for localising content.

Cons

A frequent complaint from my clients is that we can't control the cadence of speech in Synthesia.

It’s a great tool for simple and professional looking videos, but I’d love to see more updates with extra customization options.

Pros

Synthesia is super easy to use, even if you have no experience with video editing.

Cons

I just wish there were more features and a bigger selection of video clips to choose from. It feels a bit limited at times.

The worst one that I could have. If you need to produce videos quickly, never go for Synthesia. You will eventually end up having to prove that your video is not a scam.

Pros

It's is intuitive, easy to produce, nice avatars.

Cons

They frequently do not approve videos due to "Internal Guidelines". The last onde was "Your video was moderated for violating our Financial Solicitation: Multi-Level-Marketing Schemes guideline."
My video had NOTHING related to this. And a previous video was approved and almost identical in content to the one that was moderated.

The worst part: 24h waiting review, 48h for appeal. It should be easy make an video, and it looks like we're criminals making scum.

It's easier to make a real video.
