The versatility of how we can use Synthesia in our video editing and creation process is amazing. The fact we can use and leverage AI personas (and even clone ourselves) to create multiple videos for multiple purposes is a great advantage. As more people are consuming different media and more people are watching content over reading it, Synthesia will give an unfair advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wanted to create a Youtube ad. And while I was able to do all the editing I wanted in the video, one thing was missing... I couldn't change the transitions of each slide/scene. So I can't use the video I created for this purpose of running it as an ad, but the easy of use was really good. Plus, the team shared they will add this feature to their roadmap.

The application has proven to be extremely effective usefule and simply to use. the result are video extremely well done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
to the point that we have started producing over 20 videos for our company. However, this has made it necessary to upgrade our subscription plan. Our intention was to invest in a package with more minutes, but the only option available beyond the "Creator" plan (€700 per month) is the "Enterprise" plan, which costs a staggering €9,000 per month, with no intermediate options.
This lack of flexibility in pricing represents a significant issue, limiting scalability for companies like ours that need a moderate increase in resources without having to face such a disproportionate cost jump. The absence of mid-tier plans seems unreasonable and penalizing for those who want to invest more but cannot justify such a high expense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I was amazed at what this software can do. Creating professional video content is so easy - from uploading source material, to editing scripts, searching media content in the app, and then publishing. It took me maybe 4 hours to create a product video that it would have taken months and tens of thousands of dollars to create before. Maybe best of all, it is intuitive to the user. I did not need any manuals or how to videos to use it effectively. Using this felt like discovering AI again for the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are only small improvements I would suggest. Sometimes the cadence and inflection of the avatar voices are a little off from the script (only minimally), and of course the mouth movement is not 100% real, but it is VERY close. The "use your own avatar" beta feature, being beta, still requires some improvement to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface is easy to use and the templates mean you can get up and running quickly. I also like the fact that you can duplicate and edit the videos accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No ability to buy extra minutes. We have maxed our two accounts for a client. I have contacted sales to see what can be offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using AI and AI Avatars video platforms for business-related projects for some time now. I can affirm that Synthesia have the best video quality output and the most realistic avatars in the industry. Synthesia have also the best in class video editor and the most productive workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are some serious improvement opportunities in the platform.
1) Huge price gap between the self-service Creator plan and the Enterprise + Agency plans. A new plan bigger than Creator and smaller than the Enterprise would be a nice fit for some customers.
2) The creator plan has a very small 360 min videos limit per year. Comparing with HeyGen, Colossyan and others, this is a serious limitation. I also use Colossyan because of this.
3) Shallow and obscure moderation policy. I had blocked videos that have no relation to what is written in the moderation policy page. The worst is the appeal process. If your regular paying customer is asking for an appeal, even if that is the case of really being rejected, the customer should receive some clarification of why the video content was blocked and not just a standard message. Reading a standard denial message, I really felt like Synthesia's answer was: "you know what? I don´t care, I will not render your video and I don´t have time to tell you why". BTW, the video draft is deleted and you lose all your work. Important: I understand the moderation policy is important and should be enforced but the rules of the game must be clear.

The suggestions for templates and the use of the AI have been very helpful. I typically start off with the suggestions and then add to it to make it fit what my company needs are for my training videos. The seamlessness of the videos make for a very professional product that I feel proud to present to my teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The lip sync is still not where it needs to be with the avatars - they are making improvements, but I still am not comfortable using a full screen avatar in my videos because the lip sync is distracting. It needs more English/US voices and avatars - the majority of the avatars are foreign and so it's not as relatable. I use the same avatar (I use the small square of them - not full screen) and the same voice for my videos - I would like more options for the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've tried several applications in the past, for those times they were interesting new things but
a little funny and unreal, nothing in comparison to Synthesia.
The system isEasy to use and growing and expanding. Customer support is highly skilled and always available.
The system could represent a cost for who is just having fun but for professionals and bloggers chances to surprise customers are high.
I'm a video ADV and explainer video producer and more often at least once a week I use it
Often my edited footage is integrated with my avatars.
Me too sometimes is an avatar.In the hurry of delivering ideas I have no time to set up cameras only to produce demos.
It includes a powerful AI video editor and script assistant.
Translations and foreigner VoiceOver are fast and real.
Sometimes my projects in Synthesia become the final version.
I discovered so many features easy to implement in my system
Now Synthesia is completely integrated with my studio tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Preview of the final project should be the same as the output, animated as it is, also with more moving watermarks for protection but real, just to let the author correct some little details not visible in the draft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Utilizing state of the art technology in AI text to speech AND video generator to create content. Being able to take your ideas and key parts of the content (or script) and assigning different images/videos to create visual associations. All tools seem pretty intuitive and editing is easy.
Best things I like about Synthesia are the premium Avatars and premium voice packs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only downside experience is if a video so happens to have not met standards, (outside of restricted content) that the entire video is flagged and then deleted. If someone had put a tremendous amount of time and effort into editing and creating the video, and to have it deleted due to technical reasons, it is pretty discouraging.

Synthesia's quality, ease of use, implementation and the videos are saved on my Youtube and marketing platforms to use forever! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Synthesia is as easy implementation and integration as the tutorials demonstrate. I have no patience for creating. Synthesia allows me to provide general ideas that are turned into well thought out marketing videos with art and vid along with professional ai characters. You can also create your own ai character that looks and sounds like you! Its amazing and so affordable! I use these frequently in my marketing campaigns weekly. Customer support was amazing when I called as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Game changing application, after months of lurking on the free version, I finally persuaded management to purchase a licence. blown away by not only the quality of videos, but the ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the video generation speed could do with improving. the editor is slightly difficult to gauge sometimes as the audio and visuals are shown, but the avatar is not moving, to view accurately I need to generate video, but then wait 20 minutes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What stands out most about Synthesia is how incredibly easy and efficient it makes creating professional-looking videos without the need for traditional filming or editing. The platform’s user-friendly interface allows quick script input and instant video generation, which has been invaluable when developing engaging and consistent eLearning content, especially for large-scale projects we have been working on. Synthesia’s multilingual support is also impressive, making it perfect for reaching a middle east audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Synthesia is fantastic overall, it would be helpful to have even more customisation options for avatars. Easier use of translating with KSA in mind would benefit my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
