Hi everyone, welcome to Synthesia. If you can copy and paste text and use PowerPoint
0:05
then you can create your own video just like this, complete with synthetic actors. I'll show
0:10
you how in one moment. But before I do, consider subscribing to my YouTube channel where each week
0:15
I'll be uploading new videos on a variety of different topics. So thanks for your consideration
0:21
and now let's get to the video. The website I'll be reviewing today is called Synthesia. You can
0:26
find it at Synthesia.io. Synthesia is a company based in London that uses artificial intelligence
0:32
to create synthetic videos. With Synthesia, users can create professional-looking videos, complete with an actor and voice of their choice, by simply copying and pasting text
0:44
It is a paid program, but signing up with Synthesia is faster and cheaper than traditional
0:49
methods of production. Here's how it works. The first step is to sign up for Synthesia at
0:55
Synthesia.io. The individual plan is about $30 per month, but if you want to try it out
1:01
you can do that for free by clicking here. Once you signed up, you'll be taken to your dashboard
1:06
where you can create your video. Now there are templates that you can use and customize
1:10
but I'm going to show you how you can start from scratch. First, choose one of many different
1:16
actors. You can either use a full body view or a circle mask where you can customize the size
1:23
Next, you can choose your background, which can be a color, stock image, or video
1:29
or you can upload your own background. There's other elements that you can customize as well
1:34
like text, shapes, images, and icons. Of course, you can upload your own, but there's a tremendous
1:41
library of free assets available with Synthesia. You can even add music to your video. Now we'll
1:50
type out our script and choose a voice. Hi everyone, welcome to Synthesia. Hi everyone
1:57
welcome to Synthesia. Hi everyone, welcome to Synthesia. As you're hearing now, there are
2:01
voices in different languages that come with a variety of different expressions. To be honest
2:06
I thought that some of these voices sounded a bit more robotic than others, so make sure that you
2:12
fully preview your audio first. Now you also have some unique options with your dialogue
2:17
like setting pronunciations or adding pauses. You'll notice that off to the side
2:21
I can create additional slides just like I can with a program like PowerPoint
2:28
When you're finished, you can preview your video. This will give you a rough idea of what it should
2:33
look and what it should sound like, although your video avatar will not be animated
2:38
But if it sounds good, go ahead and click generate. In a few minutes, Synthesia will export
2:44
your video complete with a shared link and options to download. Hi everyone, welcome to
2:51
Synthesia. Synthesia is an AI video avatar platform that creates professional videos
2:57
The company replaces cameras with code and uses an algorithm. Synthesia was founded in 2017
3:04
Just like the voices, I found that some of the video avatars look more natural than others
3:09
and you really can't tell until the final video has been generated. So you may have to experiment
3:14
with replacing your actor a few times until you get it right. So the question is, is Synthesia
3:20
worth the money? So while Synthesia may be a bit pricey at $30 per month, you have to remember that
3:26
you're getting a lot of value between the video avatars, the text-to-speech voices, and the library
3:32
of free content. So if you're looking to create a video with a spokesperson on a limited budget
3:37
Synthesia is really going to help you save time and save money. So go ahead and check it out
3:42
It's at Synthesia.io because this is such a cool website to try. Thanks for watching this video
