Probably the niftiest and most useful tool I've come across in recent years
What do you like best about the product?
The quality of the video produced is astounding. I've shown the results to several people, and most did not pick up that this was an avatar speaking in the video.
Producing video this way has a number of priceless advantages. First, your video is not fixed, you can adjust and refine video at any stage, when new ideas have emerged that you wished you had integrated into your video. It's also a tremendous cost-savor, no more expensive video shoot needed for things like instructional videos. And it's just fun, seeing the result is very impressive.
Lastly, we had some interaction with Customer Support, which was impressive. Even on the weekend, we got a respond within 15 minutes.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really major, but, as always with these tools, there is a learning curve, and it does take time to get to a great result. Synthesia offers a host of tweaks, such as adding pauses or even getting the avatar to nod, which gives the touch of perfection, but is time-consuming to get right.
There are small improvement we could imagine, but the functionality that's available is rich and sufficient. Improvements we can think of are more in the category of "what, if", not "if only".

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making our content and website more professional and engaging with videos that explain certain critical propositions
Finally a product I can use
What do you like best about the product?
After years working at large companies, I'm doing a small startup, so I'm learning many new roles, and one of those is digital marketing and content creation. I have no time for tools that are complex or don't generate professional results.
I tried out Synthesia and without any training, I quickly created a pretty decent marketing video, using just the free tier. A couple days later I decided to upgrade to a paid offer so I could better brand it and have access to more personas and voices. In this process I could use the same basic content and just regenerate the video.
I'm now branching out to try the screen recorder for a hands-on demo video. I hit a bug, emailed the company and they got back to me personally the same day and fixed the bug next day. Yes I wish I didn't have a problem but also they demonstrated their responsiveness.
So far I haven't found any gotchas or missing features. I like that images and music are built-in, ie, I don't need to go search for that elsewhere and try to integrate it.
In my 2nd video I started getting bold enough to add extra gestures and pauses, which are really easy to do and seem to kick up the quality a bit more.
As a small company, I like being able to use different personas and voices so everything isn't just in one voice (mine!). Bottom line, easy to use without taking hours of tutorials.

What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of any missing features for my use case. I guess the only minor frustration I've had is that I thought if I upgraded to the paid version, I would get access to all the personas and voices, but it turns out there are something like 4 levels and I only bought into the 2nd level for now. If you work in a big company it's probably no big deal to get the top SKU, but if you're paying out of your own pocket, just be mindful about what you get with the 2nd or 3rd tier. I do think it's a good value in general.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm doing some marketing videos explaining the benefits of our products, and also some hands-on demos for developers to show them how to use our SDK. The latter requires the screen recorder. I was delighted to learn I can narrate in my voice and have that generated with a different pro voice!
Best AI Video tool I've come across
What do you like best about the product?
Synthesia has a lot of options for aesthetics so you can customise the backgrounds of your video literally however you want as well as a massive library of avatars with an even bigger range of voices.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be buggy at times, as with any newer platform, when I have used it it has had loading errors after each update and little bugs here and there byut the tech support team has always been very helpful in providing quick fixes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My business is using Synthesia to create video how-to guides and so far it has been working for us.
Synthesia has helped me to create short, sharp and very professional videos for briefing staff.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the avatars, and the fact you can configure them to speak a variety of different languages and accents.
What do you dislike about the product?
I taught myself Synthesia using the free version - what I didn't realise was that each time I recreated a video (if Ihad found an error or updated, it impacted my minutes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can produce relatively professional videos without the pricetag that usually goes along with producing videos.
Incredibly realistic
What do you like best about the product?
The avatars are very realistic and it's relatively easy to use the platform
What do you dislike about the product?
Voices are not there yet. The avatar won't pick up pronunciation and enunciation does not always sound realistic, even with the functionality for that purpose.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping me to save time creating personalized videos.
Founder
What do you like best about the product?
Makes it really easy to create professional looking videos.
What do you dislike about the product?
The personal avatar is good but not great. Meaning people who know you think it's a bit weird and not 100% accurate. Still pretty impressive though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick how to videos
A very practical solution with excellent results

The number of templates available to choose from when developing our projects
What do you dislike about the product?
Some Avatars do not feel very real and their movement is not fluid.

It delivered us the solution to provide information in a more attractive and dynamic way.
The tool, is great and I can see it will only get better
What do you like best about the product?
The capability to put together a highly impactful video in such a short time!
What do you dislike about the product?
The personal AI still needs some work, but I can see it becoming highly powerful in the future.
Also, there needs to be a fade to black feature, plus the capability to add an intro screen

Creating educational content at pace
Creative Videos in a few clicks

Learning support - webinars and trainings + certification
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that I cannot see the final look of the video before generating and thus spending minutes from my budget
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating communicative and lively content with a human-like touch saving much time compared to using a human presenter
I can see how this can be extremely helpful for people with little experience doing video editing
What do you like best about the product?
I got lucky and was able to use AI to create my first video using ChatGPT script. This option is usually not available to freemium accounts, but since I was lucky to get a "glitch". If it wasn't because of that glitched I might have not been aware of the possiblities.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that I created my first free video with a script but wasn't able to recreate a 2nd video similarly confused me. Turns out I got lucky on my first video and was able to use AI to create the video which is usually behind a paywall
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have zero experience with video editing, don't know where to get free video sources, etc.
