I love how Synthesia makes professional video creation simple by combining AI avatars, scripts, and scene editing in one seamless workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that rendering can take time and consume credits, especially when multiple scenes need adjustments. More flexibility in fine tuning expressions and transitions would also improve the creative experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Synthesia because of the avatars. They look really natural and make it easy to put in different types of dialogues. This feature allows the avatar to read or repeat the dialogues and become like a natural feed. I also appreciate how customizable it is, as the avatar sort of becomes my company's face. Whatever I write down into a dialogue, the avatar can say, giving me an easy digital employee to promote my business. Also, I find Synthesia much easier to use compared to other platforms, and it fits the direction my company is going for branding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish Synthesia could provide more avatars than they currently have. For each type of niche, like a software engineer or something that relates to my business, having an avatar for that would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The benefits are many. First, the productivity savings are amazing. Most learners adapt well to a narrated overview of a new product or solution, and Synthesia lets me be creative through the scripting process without the constant fear of, “Am I going to have to re-record this 10 times before I get it right?” That alone allows for more creativity throughout the production cycle.

Secondly, building on that same point, Synthesia makes it possible to expedite learning modules, with each one building on the content of the previous module. The AI customer support and overall ease of use are amazing, with clear, pointed answers offered instantaneously at the right time and in the right context.

Synthesia has changed the way I approach content creation, and it has helped build my personal skills as well as our in-house production skills. I’m using it every day and plan to continue, because my audience is as happy with the output as I am as the creator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hard to say at this point. Due to company policy, I cannot use AI generated avatars of myself, so that is not a weakness of Synthesia, more internal. The list of Avatars is really good however!

Update 6/2026 - its hard to dislike Synthesia, the learning curve for me was probably the most challenging based upon time on my side - I recommend if you are going to invest in the platform spend an entire day leveraging the training content and videos. I did it piecemeal and while my fault, not a ding to the Synthesia team or platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s very easy to create training for the organisation. The customisation resources and out-of-the-box solutions are plentiful, so I can simply use what’s available without much extra effort. Exceptional value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few features that aren’t enabled yet. For example, you can’t lock down the progress bar. I’ve raised this with the Synthesia team in the past, and they’ve added it to their roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really enjoy using Synthesia's AI as it automatically helps me script the video and creates a really high-quality video in just a matter of minutes. Using the AI feature, Synthesia quickly comes up with a cohesive story that then can be put into a video, including high-quality graphics. It's making my process a lot easier to create. The initial setup was extremely easy, and I was up and running in a matter of minutes. It's a very easy program to learn with a great user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it doesn't put in the appropriate graphic, so I wish maybe the library was a little bit bigger so that I didn't have to put in my own graphics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed and ease of updating and editing make this tool invaluable to developing training programs and quick informational pieces quickly. I love the ease of media creation and b-roll development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More ability to customize clothing (even just color?) for non-enterprise users to help fine-tune avatars would be nice. I suggest you enable at minimum color changes and clothing swaps. Would love to be able to choose avatar face and another's clothing sometimes. Also need more casual outdoor worker clothing for small business construction or landscaping.

The avatar selection, voices, dialects, and editing capabilities are the best in the business. This service blows my mind at the marketing and training potential for our business! This software has only grown more and more dynamic and has added more and more features that could be integral to any business model. It's easy to use and implement into your website or app with how you can link up your videos or even export/import into your workflows completely separate from the site. I guarantee you that if you adopt this software, you'll be using it almost daily to further your business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly can't think of anything I dislike... This software has been and continues to be exactly what it markets itself as. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Synthesia can take information I already have and turn it into a more engaging and professional-looking video without the need to record myself or spend a lot of time on complicated video editing. I also appreciate that it gives me another way to present information visually. The AI avatars and voice-overs make content feel more dynamic and easier for the audience to follow, plus they save me a lot of time. The initial setup of Synthesia was pretty easy, which is a bonus.

I think there's a little bit of a learning curve with Synthesia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best is the speed at which training content can be created, it’s incredibly efficient and saves a huge amount of time. The user experience is second to none, making it intuitive and easy to use from the outset. And in the unlikely event you need support, the team responds quickly and typically resolves any issues within minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I genuinely haven’t found any downsides. Whilst it’s not the cheapest option out there, it’s absolutely a case of getting what you pay for - the quality, speed, and overall experience make it well worth the investment.

I like how Synthesia turns simple scripts into professional videos using realistic AI avatars, saving time and eliminating the need for filming equipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some avatar movements and facial expressions can feel slightly artificial, and making small adjustments to video timing can sometimes take more effort than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
