Synthesia creates professional AI avatar videos from text scripts — pick an avatar, type your script, and render a polished video without a camera, crew or editing software.
Synthesia is the most widely adopted AI video creation platform for corporate training and internal communications. A professional training video that would cost $3,000 to $5,000 to produce with a camera crew, presenter, and editor takes 45 minutes in Synthesia — you write a script, select an AI avatar and background, and the platform generates a polished video with natural lip-sync and voiceover. The result is high enough quality for internal training, product onboarding, and localised marketing content in up to 60 languages, all from the same text script.
Synthesia's workflow has three steps. First, write your script in the video editor — plain text with optional speaker notes and scene breaks. Second, select an AI avatar from the library of 140+ options, or create a custom avatar using your own face and voice. Third, choose a background template, add any supporting graphics or screen recordings, and click Generate. The platform renders the video within minutes and delivers an MP4 file or a shareable link.
The platform's standout feature for global teams is one-click translation and lip-sync. Upload an English script, translate it to 60+ languages using the built-in AI translation, and Synthesia regenerates the avatar with accurate lip-sync for each language — without re-recording, without hiring a voiceover artist for each locale, and without paying a localisation agency. A video that would cost $15,000 to produce in 10 languages through traditional means is done in under an hour.
Starter at $22/month (annual billing) provides 120 minutes of video per year — approximately 120 one-minute videos or 24 five-minute videos. Creator at $67/month (annual) extends to 360 minutes per year and adds custom avatar creation, a brand kit, and collaboration features. Enterprise is custom-quoted and includes unlimited video, custom integrations, and an SLA.
The JoinSecret deal provides 35% off Starter (dropping to $14.30/month annually) and 30% off Creator (dropping to $46.90/month annually). At those rates, Synthesia is the most cost-efficient video production tool available for corporate teams producing any meaningful volume of training or communication content.
