Lightworks vs. Synthesia

Lightworks is a great tool for a non-designer to use because it provides a number of tools and capabilities that can be quickly learned. For someone who is an advanced video editor, it may not provide every tool they will need. Given how much can be accomplished through the free version, I think it's a great tool for making simple videos for social media, YouTube and other basic applications.

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.

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

Adobe is a great tool that is very competitive and I still use it depending on what PC I have on hand and how fast the job needs to get done but I selected Lightwork because I think that it is less complicated to browse and was able to learn the shortcuts fast, making my time more productive.

• Given that we can use the free version in almost every situation, there has been no direct cost to use
