    It's excellent at taking a script and turning it into a video, which is huge for me. The output looks professional - maybe not as polished as you'd get from a human expert but much quicker and cheaper. Supposedly it does really well at avatars/talking heads too, but I don't really need it for that. The branching and interactive videos sound really exciting, but unfortunately without making them wcag accessible, I wouldn't really be able to implement them

    Frame.io is best suited if you are on, say, a marketing team and want to get feedback from other team members or leaders on a project you have been working on. Frame.io is less suited to serving as your team's primary storage for raw footage and photos.

    • Allows clients to make frame-specific notes, so there is no confusion what they are talking about.
    • When multiple stakeholders are making notes, platform automatically sorts them chronologically in the video.
    • Multiple stakeholders giving notes can see when their note conflicts with a colleague's.

    Cons
    Colossyan
    • lack of realistic AI (vs what Synthesia offers). NEO 2 is the answer BUT limited
    • lack of mods (like animations for the texts / images)
    • Better voice mods too, too many robotic voices especially in different language than English. Need more adjustment we can do.

    • When I mark a video private, it should disable the sharing link. We’ve run into issues where we’ve made a video private, thinking that it was no longer visible, but those with the link could still view it.
    • Mobile version is great, but sometimes I have to rotate my phone to get the full feature set, which is a little clunky sometimes.

    It works well for our small team, but we’ve run into some friction as things scale. Getting external users set up with the right access can be a bit of a hassle, and the cost starts to add up as we bring on more people and projects. That said, it’s still a solid tool, it definitely speeds up our workflow and works seamlessly with Adobe products.

    Compared to Synthesia, things don't "just work" the way you expect them to. Don't get me wrong, it feels like a good v1 product. But there are a lot of tiny performance and usability niggles that waste my time to find workarounds for

    Frame.io continues to lead with new features that enhance collaboration and review workflows. For a Creative agency, it's been a wonderful digital asset management and client collaboration tool, and more. The ease of uploading and adding stakeholders has had an incredible impact on customer response times, helping us retain and delight our clients.

    The few times I have needed support I have received a quick response - though the one major complaint I have had is regarding the omission of an iPad app - supposedly it is in the works but I haven't seen it release yet. We do have issues with the browser being buggy - especially on slow internet. Whether or not that is something support has failed me on, i'm not sure - but they are responsive, but don't always provide immediate results.

    The biggest help Colossyan has had is being able to import PowerPoint presentations that can quickly be converted into videos. That has been a huge time saver for when there are quick deadlines for videos that need to be sent out to employees. It has saved us hours of work every day, which has allowed us to focus on other projects.

    We utilize both Synthesia and Frame.io for different projects. Frame.io we use for editing actual video content that has been captured. Primary use is for customer training and education. We use Synthesia for short-form video production, primarily for software screen recording demonstrations, and for translation functionality (which is excellent).

    • Frame.io has shortened our review time considerably, saving time.
    • Frame.io is wonderful for managing a large team of editors, especially for us when we are using in-house staff and contractors.
    • Frame.io has improved the relationship between departments, which was more tense with previous review methods.
