I use it to create training videos. Many of my clients provide me with written content that they want to convert into video format. Some companies provide PowerPoint presentations, while others give me scripts to turn into videos. Clients contact me to produce videos based on their content. But I've also used it for creating TikTok videos, social media content, and even commercial videos and testing.

Enhances the aesthetics of my projects and allows me to be more creative
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
As a freelancer, my clients have experienced cost reductions when creating videos. Using AI tools like Synthesia, as opposed to Adobe Premium and similar software, has made video production more cost-effective. This has been well-received by clients and has led to positive reviews.
What is most valuable?
The feature I find most valuable is animation. Compared to other AI tools I've used, like Kaspersky and others, they lack the flexibility and automation that this tool offers. It really enhances the aesthetics of my projects and allows me to be more creative, unlike those other products which are quite rigid and limited in what they can do.
What needs improvement?
One aspect I'd like to see improvements in is the customization of avatars. Often, clients want to use their own faces or company representatives as avatars, but they find the current pricing of a thousand dollars for a custom avatar to be too expensive. This cost is a turn-off for them. I hope you can work on this by either reducing the cost or finding a solution to make it more affordable for users who wish to have a personalized avatar.
One concern is related to the cost, which some clients have raised. The second issue pertains to moderation and time zones. I believe they should address this concern because, recently, during testing, I encountered a situation where customer service was unavailable to manually review a video demo. This manual review process is important to ensure that the video complies with their terms and conditions and doesn't violate any guidelines. The video review process can take around five minutes, and it's crucial to ensure that users are creating content within the specified terms and conditions.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Synthesia for the past six months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The only issue I've encountered is with video generation. There have been instances where my videos were placed in moderation. I reached out to their customer service, but they were not available at that time. I believe they should improve their customer support's availability and align it with various time zones. This way, they can better assist users when they need it, ensuring that I don't have to wait for an extended period when trying to generate a video for a project.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable. They offer two, or maybe three, packages. Initially, there were just two: a personal account or membership for individuals and a family plan, which covers around ten seats. They also have an enterprise option for larger teams, accommodating over fifty users. This scalability is useful for various projects. For shorter ones, the personal account suffices. However, for more extensive projects, such as creating long videos, it can be challenging with the limitations of a personal account. In such cases, you might need to contact their support to upgrade your account to an enterprise level, allowing for more effective usage without the need to split the project into smaller segments.
How was the initial setup?
Setting it up is straightforward and user-friendly, even for those who may not be highly tech-savvy. When you sign up, the interface is clear and self-explanatory, making it very easy to use.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I have my personal account. However, when a project requires an enterprise account, I advise clients to get their enterprise accounts, and I work on those. Some clients prefer not to use my account and want me to use their own. In such cases, they provide me with their login details, and I create the videos on their accounts. This setup gives them control and ownership of the content, although it can be a bit tricky if they lack familiarity with the platform. I handle the costs, as well as any new features or enhancements they want to add to their personal accounts. They don't get access to edit the video directly in my account, so I encourage them to use their own personal accounts to have easy access to future edits.
The new pricing is fair and competitive. It compares well to other options on the market. The cost ranges from three dollars to approximately twenty-nine or even thirty dollars, with some specialized packages reaching the thirty-dollar mark.
What other advice do I have?
I will request this from them, depending on their enterprise focus. We are a sizable organization, and I would like to see if they can provide a solution tailored to enterprises. We have been using their platform for remote video production in our central installation business, and it has proven to be cost-effective. It has complemented our cost-saving efforts, as we used to spend a significant amount on both remote and on-premises solutions. Transitioning to their platform has been smooth, and it has worked well for us. If it continues to perform as expected, it might make sense to reduce our dependence on other HES platforms.
Overall I would rate it a nine out of ten.
Best AI Video cration tool I have ever used
What do you like best about the product?
Synthesia is truly an impressive tool that revolutionizes the world of video creation. The user interface is so user-friendly that even beginners can effortlessly work with it. What particularly impresses me are the extensive possibilities of avatars and the various languages, making it possible to create suitable videos for any occasion. The variety of available templates is impressive, and regular updates ensure that new content is constantly added. The ability to directly capture your screen in the video also opens up endless possibilities for personalized tutorials. In case you have any questions, the support is always there to fix the issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if the tool could automatically translate scripts, but this is expected to be available as a feature very soon. Then, the tool would be 100% recommended for my purposes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It seems like the tool has streamlined your collaboration with marketing departments, saving time and reducing costs. The added benefit of easily making adjustments, especially when dealing with recorded individuals, is a significant improvement. The tool appears to have eliminated the challenges you faced in the past, giving you the flexibility to handle things independently. That's a noteworthy enhancement!

Awesome video creation!
What do you like best about the product?
As a video creator willing to have a better turnaround time for producing marketing materials, training videos, and corporate presentations, Synthesia has been a game changer.
