    Animoto is great for small to mid-sized business looking for control over their own video marketing. Allows someone with initiative and "scrapbooking mentality" to create professional-looking videos with ease. If you have even the smallest of marketing budgets, Animoto is perhaps the most worthwhile investment--that is, if you're able to get decent photographs or video clips to build from.

    Synthesia
    If you need to create explanatory content or videos where the narrator isn't on the front page, Synthesia is a great ally. AI is not welcomed by everyone, or, to put it differently, people don't want to learn from AI, it feels fake, or takes out value. People want to engage with a real human, especially in a learning enviroment. I'd suggest using Synthesia because it saves you a lot of time, but if the avatar is the center of video, it might be an issue. You can note by the way the mouth moves that it's AI. There are ways in Synthesia where you can remove the avatar and just hear its voice (which are great btw) or make them smaller so your atention doesn't go there all the time.

    Cons
    Animoto
    • Great visual tool that lets you intelligently communicate what you are seeking to explain to your audience. More features I might suggest would be anything that makes it more interactive with the viewer in real-time.
    • For the price , it is a great deal as is.

    Synthesia is very good with someone needing to create videos and not a lot of knowledge on the matter. It's easy to use, intuitive and has a lot of tutorials on how to use their features

    Support Rating
    Animoto
    We haven't actually needed much support so that in itself says a lot about the software. It was easy to use and had great tool tips that guide you through the tool so you don't even need to reach out to support. There are help files that are there when needed, and some of these are helpful to us as well because again, we didn't have to reach out and wait for support.

    We had invested in making our own videos using YouTube, and even Camtasia. But they were still us interpreting on behalf of our audience which took forever. Once we found Animoto, it was so much easier to upload the pics our audience would send us. From there we had a 100% positive response, that we had indeed captured what they were trying to say.
