Your explanatory videos ally.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Synthesia to create explanatory videos for our digital courses. We offer digital courses and they are organized by sections and lessons. Each lesson explains a different topic. We have different types of lessons (text, graphics, video, quizzes, etc). We use Synthesia to create the video for our video lessons.
Pros
- Helps organize the content of your video
- Creates animated narrators for your videos
- Assist you in creating the video using AI
Cons
- We like the avatars in general, but the mouths move in a weird way and you can tell you are seeing an animation done by AI because of that.
- Most of the stock footage they have has a watermark. Most of the time I've imported it from somewhere else.
- NA
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
