I find Synthesia very easy to use and appreciate its many features, like the quiz panel and the ability to increase the number of screens from 50, which are great for creating L&D content. I love the AI Avatars and the best part is the multilingual translation feature, which saves us a lot of time as we don't have to create content in multiple languages - people can understand the training in their own language. Synthesia's ongoing improvements and new features over the past two years have been very valuable. The initial setup was pretty easy too, thanks to the training provided by the Synthesia team.

I think Synthesia could improve by adding a drag and drop feature in the quiz section. It would make quizzes more interactive and engaging by allowing users to sort cards or items, which is a fun alternative to standard quizzes. Also, having common templates available for topics like health and safety would save development time and ensure consistency across different projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the creative freedom that Synthesia provides. It lets me combine AI-generated B-roll with the Avatar Builder to create settings that fit the learning experience I envision, rather than constraining my ideas to limited production resources. This ability is especially empowering for a small team like ours. The AI-generated B-roll is invaluable in adding visual context to our learning content, even when actual filming is not feasible. Our Customer Success Managers and the development team are also outstanding, listening to our needs and quickly turning feedback into improvements. Plus, the initial setup was very easy and straightforward. I highly appreciate the level of quality and flexibility that Synthesia brings, which was otherwise out of reach for us.

I don't have any significant dislikes at this point. Whenever we've had questions or requests, our Customer Success Managers and the development team have been responsive and supportive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Synthesia's versatility, especially the number of artificial intelligent trainers it provides. I appreciate being able to import our own staff and have them appear with the same brand kit, making it look like an in-house product. This customization and the ability to change content easily without reshooting are great. Synthesia is also very easy to set up and learn, without a steep learning curve. Having multiple avatars keeps our training materials fresh and engaging, avoiding monotony. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Synthesia has a lot of room to grow when it comes to basic editing features like sound effects and camera movement. The direction of avatars is a bit limited, which can restrict what you can do with them in terms of physical actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Synthesia's ease of use, especially compared to more traditional tools like Premiere or After Effects. The AI motion graphics tool is quick and useful, tying motion into the script without the hassle of key framing. The AI voices are excellent too, saving me from having to create voices in separate applications. I appreciate how both the motion graphics and AI features speed up my workflow significantly, being integrated into the tool for simple projects, while still allowing me to create more complex content externally if needed. The setup was also very easy for me, allowing me to efficiently set up brand colors and fonts, and create templates for daily use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish Synthesia had more actions like pan and zoom implemented and made those tools easier and more intuitive to use. I'd like the motion graphics to be object-based rather than overall, so I could tweak things like font size or move elements without regenerating them. Some of the control over motion graphics and AI portions could use more work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Synthesia to create engaging and accessible video content for learning and development and internal communications. I like how easy it is to use while making professional video content quickly, allowing us to turn training and policies into engaging videos without extensive video production experience. The features I value most include the AI avatars, voiceovers, easy scene editing, and interactive features, which make it easy to create professional and engaging training videos quickly. The platform's ability to create interactive scenes and upload them to our LMS is also a big plus, and the initial setup was very easy with an onboarding process.

The AI-generated visuals and avatar customization could be more consistent. At times, images can include watermarks or require replacement, and customized avatar outfits or logos may not generate exactly as intended. More precise control over branding, positioning, and AI-generated visuals would make the platform even more effective. More precise avatar customization and high-quality AI visuals would reduce the time spent regenerating or manually correcting content. Better control over logos, clothing, positioning, and brand consistency would make it easier to create polished, professional videos that align with our organization's branding while speeding up the overall production process.

I really like the customizable feel of Synthesia and the high-quality avatars and templates it provides. The range of avatars and templates means that no two videos have to look the same, making each one unique. The ability to transform a video's look and feel with new themes and background music is amazing. I also appreciate the one-click translation feature, which makes it seamless to convert videos into different languages, creating an inclusive learning experience for all learners.

Currently, Synthesia’s MCP for AI doesn’t work well for us because of its limited capabilities. The video creator native to Synthesia also needs improvement as it often adds irrelevant stock photos and videos to our content. We need actual applicable photos and visuals for technical training videos. Additionally, I feel like the setup experience could be more challenging now for new users due to the increased features, which could create a bigger learning curve compared to when we started using it a few years ago.

I really like Synthesia's interface, which allows you to edit videos almost like in a PowerPoint presentation format and add a personal touch using my own avatar and voice. This personalization is really important when sending out invites, making them feel more personable. The options to change expressions and tone in the script help me emphasize certain points, and it’s useful when leading with a question. The scalability of the personalized invites through APIs is incredibly useful, saving me a lot of time and effort by not having to manually personalize each one, and the onboarding process was good with helpful meetings to maximize usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the limits of the API are restrictive because if you want to send a particular video to more than a couple hundred people, it might be a bit of an issue, but I understand that this is something that can be solved by updating the plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Synthesia is wonderfully easy to use and creates professional looking training courses with very little fuss. The AI facility is really useful as a help to getting started and the range of avatars and voices make choosing a format simple. The ability to add animations to slides without having to worry about timings and changing text is fantastic as is the ability to place avatars on different backgrounds. It has been really easy to integrate into our other training product Articulate and courses are simple to implement. We use Synthesia for all of our courses.

I cannot praise this product enough as it has helped us to be able to deliver up-to-date and professional looking training courses extremely easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much really. The ability to start off in UK English each time rather than defaulting to US English is about the only thing I can think of. It would be good if there were more professional looking avatars wearing suits and ties - but that is a minor quibble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creating an avatar of myself and putting it into different spaces and outfits I think it is pricey but the best out there. Also, you should give bigger discounts when you want to get into specific industries. I think it is pricey but the best out there.

It produces different things, like different pronunciations of the same word in the same video. Even using the new feature of speaking the pronuciation of a word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Synthesia easy to use, allowing me to quickly create a working storyboard and produce a video in just an hour. It provides a consistent voice and style without sounding too robotic, which makes it more acceptable for users. The whole process is straightforward and user-friendly, enabling us to draft and polish videos to be client-ready with minimal effort. We quickly hit the ground running with Synthesia, as our first video only took hours to complete. I regularly recommend Synthesia to others as I find it very beneficial.

Some facial expressions don't always map right to the tone being delivered, but this can be worked around. It's not something that's 'wrong' per se, just something to be aware of. Like any use of AI, proof reading and sense checking is vital. It could be handy for the platform to have an option to set the tone or intention of a word, sentence, or paragraph.
