Happy Synthesia Customer & Advocate!

Very positive overall with Synthesia and I'm very happy that we're using it. I hope to have it expand to more licenses across the company. That's my goal at least.

Functionality

Pros:

It's an incredibly intuitive tool. If you successfully navigate a tool such as PowerPoint, you can be off and running on this. Plus, features like the on-screen AI personas are neat, but we've found just having AI help to edit and punch up scripts, while awesome narrators are included? Makes a big difference.

Cons:

Interface updates feel like they roll out regularly, even small scale ones, without enough advance notification.

Functionality

Pros:

Simple, clean UI with amazing AI support to generate scripts and some very realistic AI avatars. The reduction in overhead and time-to-deliver has been game-changing for us, enabling our organisation to support our clients with engaging content at 10% of the cost, delivered in hours, not weeks. The video screen capture browser extension save further time and means the content can be created end-to-end in the one platform.

Cons:

The video editing tools are still in development. They are functional, but currently missing a few features that would further reduce efforts. The voice actors for my region (Australia) are limited, but they seem to be adding new options regularly.

Reasons for switching to Synthesia

AI features and the content output quality in Synthesia was far, far superior

Helping us remain lean and scale at the same time.

Account engagement has been first class. As for the tool, creating your own avatar is very simple. I'm keen to test with the Studio grade avatar with correct lighting and chromakeying.

Functionality

Pros:

After assessing with other competitors, I haven't found any who comes close with the right balance of believability and quality of their avatars. The ease of use is also a great plus. I don't need complexity of features right now. For us, it offers true scalability and believability to our videos. We are also looking to scale out to other countries so offering translation capabilities is going to be a massive hit when we do.

Cons:

Workspace needs some work. Inability to share Avatars in an enterprise environment. Although simple to use, and despite my comments earlier, a few extra editing tools would be useful. Being able to add emphasis to specific words over and beyond offering a phonetic spelling. Ability to slow the speach in places would be useful too. Adding pauses is a good compromise, but compromise it is still.

Reasons for choosing Synthesia

Superior Avatars. Built in Personal Avatars in price.

Sythesia is Setting a Standard in AI Video Creation

I am thoroughly enjoying the platform, though, it would be nice to get some additional voice controls to slow their pace down. Not sure if you allow SSML tags, but that would be a simple solution until you can do a full feature build (if you wanted to go that route). But I've made several videos on the platform and plan on making many more while I have the minutes. But, unless the Starter plan provides more generative time, I will have to discontinue my account because I just can't afford that.

Functionality

Pros:

It's very easy to use and the selection of stock assets is incredible! I love how they offer photos, videos, icons, and even music. It helps streamline the process because I just grab most of my stock items directly within my workflow. Also, the voices are the most natural sounding AI voices I've heard so far and I used to have a WellSaid Labs account. They adapt beautifully to the script.

Cons:

There are some editing features that would be nice to see, like additional global controls for editing multiple scenes. Also, there are a lot of connection issues that interrupt my work flow. Some of the models used for the Avatars could be a little better put together to enhance their appearance. Kind of off putting when I am trying to produce a professional video and the person on screen looks like they just rolled out of bed lol. Also, the monthly time limit allotted on the Starter plan is abysmal and waaaaay too low. That alone gives me pause for continuing my subscription long term.

Reasons for choosing Synthesia

Because Articulate's AI Video creator is not yet available to users. WellSaid took too long to generate just audio.

Pros:

The ease of creating an AI Figure, initial text content and the great synchronization of the software. It performed very well after tweaking it.

Cons:

There was a bit of work needed once you started editing the text and/or chaning AI Figures where the didn't want to speak (mouth moving). But after working through it in the end, it came out perfect. Also the customized AI of yourself did not work, I tried it several times.

Reasons for choosing Synthesia

Made more financial sense even though I had to do the work myself.

Avoid this honey trap

Great videos that they randomly moderate and refuse to let you download without an explanation. There is an appeal which seems to automatically turn you down. I make real estate videos, nothing in the least bit controversial, but if I upgrade they may approve them.
