Simplifies Video Tutorials, Excellent Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I find Synthesia incredibly user-friendly, which made it easy to start using the platform after finding it through an internet search. I appreciate its intuitive user interface and the availability of good templates, which streamline the setup process without much difficulty. The software is a good fit for our business case, as it eliminates the need to hire someone specifically for creating tutorial videos, saving us both time and resources. Synthesia's feature of text and video synchronization is particularly innovative; using avatar text as the timeline serves as a smart and efficient idea. This functionality proves beneficial, especially when making quick updates in response to changes in our software. Additionally, integrating Vimeo with Synthesia enhances our video production workflow, as Vimeo effortlessly handles video capture and basic editing before importing into Synthesia for further use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the selection of English (GB) avatar voices limited, which restricts the diversity of voices I can use for my videos. It is a subscription service, a PAYG model might suit smaller businesses better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Synthesia to eliminate the need for hiring someone to create tutorial videos, making it easier to update them when our software changes.
Well-Designed Templates That Simplify Work
What do you like best about the product?
I like the templates—they make work easier and are crafted with great attention to detail.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t like that I can’t adjust the speaking speed of the uploaded personal avatar, that it gestures too much, and that it often fails to lower its voice at the end of a sentence or where it should. Of course, this might only be an issue with the Hungarian language. Sometimes I have to edit the video afterward because it automatically inserts a small image of the avatar between two scenes, which doesn’t fit there. I also don’t like that the remaining available time isn’t shown in minutes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me create corporate video content for advertising purposes. Additionally, videos made with the personal avatar eliminate the need for lengthy video shoots to produce the materials.
Quick, Easy and Fun
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. It's very easy to create a video from scratch or upload an AI created script.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far everything's been great. I have only been using it for about a month so I don't have any dislikes yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is taking the place of a manager performing these trainings.
Intuitive and Fast, But Timeline Editing Takes Getting Used To
What do you like best about the product?
Super quick and easy to use. Very intuitive, no training required.
What do you dislike about the product?
I struggled to work with the timeline , moving items around and changing timing wasn't as easy as some video editing software - but that could be because I am not used to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easier to create engaging online learning
Synthesia Supercharges Video Creation, But Needs More Editing Flexibility
What do you like best about the product?
Synthesia makes video creation ridiculously efficient. I can turn a script into a polished, professional-looking video in minutes — without needing a camera crew, actors, or editing software. The avatars look real enough to keep attention, and the voice quality has gotten impressively natural over time. For my coaching and online courses, it’s been a game-changer: I can create educational content fast, test ideas quickly, and stay consistent with my brand tone. It’s perfect for creators who want quality without wasting hours in post-production.
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s powerful, but still has limits. Some avatars feel slightly robotic in emotional delivery, and the editing tools could use more flexibility — things like finer pacing control, camera movement, or more natural hand gestures. Uploading brand assets also feels a bit clunky compared to traditional video editors. It’s not a dealbreaker, but a few UX tweaks and creative upgrades would push it from great to exceptional.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synthesia saves me from spending hours filming, editing, and re-recording. I can produce professional, on-brand videos for my coaching business and online courses without hiring talent or dealing with a full production setup. It bridges the gap between ideas and execution — letting me turn written content into engaging video in a fraction of the time. That speed and flexibility have helped me scale my content output while keeping quality consistent.
Intuitive and Efficient for Video Localization
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate the intuitive and easy-to-learn interface of Synthesia. For someone who had never used it before, it was very straightforward and clear, allowing me to navigate the tool with ease. The automatic translation feature is incredibly beneficial, as it simplifies the localization process; I just need to review the translations rather than creating them from scratch. This significantly speeds up our workflow. I also like how quickly I can produce a high volume of content, which is essential for our email marketing campaigns across multiple markets like Portugal, Italy, and Spain. The quick response from customer support is a major plus, as they resolved my issue of being unable to publish a video within a minute. These features collectively enhance efficiency by negating the need to hire freelancers, allowing us to focus on producing content swiftly. Overall, the platform stands out to me because of its user-friendly design, quick operation, and robust capacity for content production.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would add more voices and life-like characters to personalize the videos
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Synthesia to create and localize video content efficiently, eliminating the need for freelancers, accelerating production, and expanding our marketing efforts.
Works Well After Learning Curve, But Avatar Backgrounds Need Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
It works well after you get used to it. The avatar 2 features are nice but limited. Wish each avatar had at least 6 angles and 4 backgrounds and overall make it so we could have more options for scenario based conversations. Also the a.i. video clip generator is a great tool not heavily advertised
What do you dislike about the product?
The backgrounds for the avatars 2 don't match so it makes it slightly strange when the avatars are talking to each other. Or the angles don't all match. They are limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are teaching scenarios in real life and having these realistic videos to set the example
Excellent Voice Sync, But Processing Times Are Too Long
What do you like best about the product?
The dubbing of the voices narrative with the mouth movement of the avatar is excellent
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems that so many people are using this platform that the processing wait time has ballooned in the past two months. This past Saturday afternoon, I had to wait 203 minutes for a 1 minute video to process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed some "announcements" for new websites Ive been working on.
Easy Voice Switching and Editing, But Avatar Preview Could Be Smoother
What do you like best about the product?
You can easily switch between voices and make edits after it's created.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have to generate before you can see the movement of the Avatars.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Taking days to create a video because I have to redo my voice and make edits.
Easy Access and Impressive Video Generation, Despite Copy Review Frustrations
What do you like best about the product?
Having previously taught myself various video editing software, I was impressed by how intuitive and user-friendly Synthesia felt. The platform’s streamlined interface made the learning curve almost nonexistent, allowing me to focus on creativity rather than technical setup. It was refreshing to experience a tool that combined professional-level functionality with such effortless accessibility, truly a pleasure to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
While reviewing and refining written copy within the platform can occasionally be a bit cumbersome, this limitation is balanced by the strength of the video generation process itself. The initial “seed” the foundation from which each video is created, consistently produces high-quality results that make the overall experience worthwhile. In many ways, the creativity and polish of the generated videos more than compensate for the minor frustrations of text review.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to develop a series of videos as a key component of my go-to-market strategy, aimed at effectively communicating our value proposition and engaging target audiences across multiple channels.
