What I like best about Synthesia is how quickly I can turn an instructional concept or written script into a polished, professional video. The AI Video Assistant gives me a strong starting point. At the same time, the templates, avatars, voice options, and drag-and-drop editor make it easy to customize the presentation for a specific audience. As an instructional designer, I especially value the ability to revise a video without rescheduling a recording session or starting over. If content changes, I can update the script, adjust a scene, and generate a new version in much less time than traditional video production would require. This is particularly useful when developing learning experiences for older adults, where clear narration, readable text, thoughtful pacing, and a welcoming presenter are essential. An unexpected benefit has been how easily I can experiment with different approaches before committing to a final version. Synthesia allows me to test the organization, tone, visuals, and pacing of a lesson early in the design process. Overall, it helps me produce engaging learning videos more efficiently while still giving me enough creative control to make the content feel purposeful and audience-centered. Synthesia works well as the primary video-production tool within my instructional design workflow. I use Canva and Figma to create branded graphics, diagrams, interface mockups, and other supporting visuals, then bring them into Synthesia. PowerPoint presentations and written documents also provide useful starting material for the AI Video Assistant. After producing a video, I can export it for use in learning management systems, presentations, websites, and eLearning authoring tools. I can also bring the finished video into Camtasia when I need more advanced editing, detailed audio adjustments, or visual effects not available in Synthesia. The overall workflow is reliable, but not every connection is seamless. Some tools require manual exporting and uploading, and imported visual elements may flatten rather than remain individually editable. If an original Canva or Figma asset changes, I may need to update and replace it manually in Synthesia. Overall, Synthesia fits well within my technology stack because it handles the presenter, narration, and scene-based production efficiently. Stronger two-way integrations and automatic asset synchronization would make the workflow even better.

Amazing avatars that look truly professional. The software is easy to use.

Synthesia makes it incredibly easy to create professional videos quickly. The AI avatars look realistic, and the text-to-video workflow eliminates the need for complex recording equipment, which significantly speeds up our training content creation.
