What is Synthesia?

Synthesia is designed for business video rather than short cinematic generation. It combines more than 240 stock avatars, personal and studio avatars, over 1,000 voices, more than 160 languages, AI dubbing, one-click translation, screen recording, brand kits, live collaboration, interactive video, analytics, version control, SCORM export and API access. Basic is free and includes 1,200 credits per month, equivalent to up to ten minutes of standard video, but videos cannot be downloaded. Starter adds downloads, removes the Synthesia logo and keeps the same monthly credit level. Creator increases the allowance to 3,600 monthly credits, adds API access, interactive video, more avatars and higher collaboration limits. Enterprise offers unlimited standard video minutes, custom credits, additional seats, SSO, advanced governance, onboarding and customer-success support. The platform is especially strong for training, onboarding, compliance, internal communication, SOPs and sales enablement.

Setup time
A first stock-avatar video can be built in 10โ€“30 minutes. Brand kits, personal avatars, localization standards, SCORM, API integration and enterprise governance can take several hours or days.
Learning curve
Standard avatar video is easy. Translation, dubbing, interactivity and brand systems are moderately complex, while API, SCORM and enterprise rollout require advanced planning.
Data training
Synthesia states that Customer Data is not used to pre-train AI components. Any customer-specific fine-tuning must follow written instructions and agreed governance controls.
