As a newbie to Video creation and editing I tried about six other video editing software products and couldn't figure out how to even start to use them. I then discovered Synthesia by searching google with, "simple video editor a child could use.". I couldn't believe how powerful and simple it is to use. My favorite part is the Live Chat provided, they are great and I can't believe how productive I've been creating video's for my new YouTube Channel and our website.
My only frustration so far, is I wish that I could upload an existing .mp4 created somewhere else and be able to edit it and add an Avatar, etc.
I love that I don't have to bother setting up a microphone and camera to record me talking in the video, love the Avatars and text to speech
Synthesis's easy of use , quality renderers, and templates make it extremely easy to generate high quality videos.
sometimes my imported images seem to lose their original Hd quality. still need to investigate with their support team. likely an operator error in my part!?
video explainers made simply and affordably with Synthesia
It is quite intuitive in using platform and requires minimal training to fully utilise it. Apart from its easy-to-use interface, CS team is able to respond to my questions almost immediately.
It's difficult to keep track on the actual usage as there is no usage count. Also, the drafted video can only be fully seen how its actual look would be only after exporting it, but it will count your monthly credits by doing so.
It greatly saves my time in making short videos by shortening maybe around hours video shooting and postediting work to half an hour more. The avatar is also quite realistic with various choices.
Trabajo en el diseño y desarrollo de materiales de formación y he encontrado en este herramienta la posibilidad de crear vídeos atractivos y útiles para los cursos en línea, a través de un proceso sumamente rápido y sencillo.
Solo podría decir que el único aspecto negativo es la cantidad de minutos que se ofrecen mensualmente para la generación de videos. Sería excelente que fuesen ilimitados.
La creación de videos para materiales de capacitación en cursos para la modalidad elearning, reduciendo sustancialmente los tiempos de producción de creación de materiales de capacitación
I have learned to appreciate Synthesia because it offers a great way to engage my audiences, especially when I have to speak for 4 hours or more. This is something YouTube could not do since I did use it often.
I would like to suggest the inclusion of many more older Spanish South American voices as an option. This addition would provide users like myself with a more diverse and versatile range of vocal choices for our presentations. Other than that, I have nothing I dislike about Synthesia.
Synthesia is a valuable tool for me because when I have to speak for several hours, it provides the audience and me with a break. Participants feedback has been very positive.
Simple, easy, great support. Its a tool that is set up for quick use. A tool that doesnt require much to get started. This is an excellent tool even for students.
The avatars "miss" a few communities (yong people in disasvantage, vulnerable environment, most are "academic") our communication is not always towards work/academic work.
Ability to communicate with people that do not speak the native language. Possibility to transform information normally coming in text format into voice, for Community's that do not read
Their avatars are magnificent, they look real; furthermore, the editing program is very comprehensive and easy to use. Additionally, I can use my own background content, such as pre-edited videos.
At the moment, I can't find anything negative. I had a problem with the approval of a video, but I reached out to support and they resolved it very quickly.
Currently, we don't have an image that creates our content professionally, which is why the avatars have been truly useful.
The pressure decreases to get the script, production and editing right on the first few "takes" of a standard video. The on-screen talent is always ready to go!
It won't fool most people. It's still AI. But in our productions, we indicated the person was AI; we're not going to hide behind it or try to pass it off as an actual person on-camera.
We offer some sales promotions that can be considered confusing to understand. This year, we wanted to turn to video, but our timeline didn't allow us to write a script, hire a camera crew, have that crew film, then edit and add presentation slides. Instead, I was able to do all that while simultaneously working on other projects. A major time-savings that allowed us to also come in under a budget we didn't have.
The world of AI has taken another remarkable leap with the AI Avatar Creator, a true marvel of modern technology. As someone who values effective communication across languages and cultures, I am thoroughly impressed with this innovative tool's ability to generate avatars that not only speak but also converse fluently in multiple languages. Allow me to share my excitement about what makes this AI Avatar Creator truly exceptional.
i would kike to put my on animated avatars because we have an avatar on my company and we are really looking for this specific task, anyways synesthesia only for real people
in a world constantly seeking process optimization, the AI-Powered Content Creation Tool has emerged as a true game-changer. As someone who values efficiency and effectiveness in content creation, I am genuinely impressed by this innovative tool and how it has tackled one of the most pressing challenges: more efficient content creation. Allow me to share my enthusiasm about what makes this tool exceptional.
I like how easy it is to create easy to follow instructional videos for our customers using templates. Also it is really easy to add in different screen recordings into the templates.
Sometimes the editor is a bit tricky to get a hold of and sentence structure is a bit hard to get correct within Synthesia. More natural soynding would be great.
We have customers who need to know how to do simple tasks within our software. They don't like to read a ton of text in order to get to their solution so we use Synthesia to create quick 1-2 minute videos.
