Artificial Intelligence induced video features are the most valuable.
They should indulge in better advertising and also voice modulation features for the videos should be introduced.

Synthesia's use for me was related to training purposes. With Synthesia, I could create instructional designs for training courses meant for a major corporation, the military, and one of my personal projects.
My company used Synthesia to help us with compliance training, and it was used to provide feedback during instructional assessments. I have used Synthesia to create introductions for a website on which I was working. I have also used Synthesia for my e-portfolio and to articulate a storyline for an e-challenge project.
In Synthesia, the avatars can be an area that can be considered the product's most valuable feature.
In Synthesia, there are plenty of areas where improvements are required. The main area of concern in Synthesia stems from its ability to add multiple elements onto a timeline, an area where I feel the product lacks in terms of its intuitiveness and user experience, and I had even complained to the company after it became nonfunctional. Though Synthesia made some changes to get the product working, it still is not as seamless as some other timeline-based non-linear editing software I have used.
I would like to see better use of audio in Synthesia. I think Synthesia's audio component could be drastically improved. There is room for improvement on how the audio part is integrated into a project and how it is manipulated and edited, along with how the volume and placement of the timeline are edited. Once a video is created, that process is kind of convoluted. I think there should be an easier way to determine whether your video is done and, if it needs to be corrected, how to correct it since these areas are not very intuitive. There's not a whole lot of direction available anywhere on how to do things well on the platform.
I have been using Synthesia for a year. Speaking about the version, I have experience with Synthesia STUDIO.
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten.
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a four out of ten.
I rate the technical support a six out of ten.
Neutral
I used a program that is very similar to Synthesia called D-IB, which was a lot easier to use. Though D-IB didn't have as many features and content as Synthesia, its avatars were a little bit more authentic and looked a little more real.
The product's initial setup was easy, and it wasn't hard at all. It is just that the product's user experience is not user-friendly.
The solution is deployed on my browser, Google Chrome.
Synthesia is a reasonable and competitively-priced product.
The only option I considered during the evaluation was D-IB.
You need to be patient while using the tool. I avoid trying to do any projects that are very complex, especially when the tool's use is in its beginning stages. Maybe in the future, there will be improvements in the tool's GUI and interface. Right now, Synthesia is just for doing easy projects that don't require a lot of complex interaction with the user.
I rate the overall product a seven to eight out of ten.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I have been working with Synthesia for the past six months.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
