WeVideo is an online video creation platform from the company of the same name in Mountain View, providing editing, collaboration, and sharing capabilities across any device. Anyone can access WeVideo, from any computer or device at home, work, or on the go to capture, edit, view and share with secure storage of their content in the cloud.
Depending on what I need to do, I'll pick WeVideo or Synthesia. If I need a quick social media video or something with a transition, I'll go with WeVideo. I already know they have great video and photo library, so if it's something simple, I'll go directly to them.
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.
