Key Features of Synthesia

1. Text to Video Conversion

The Synthesia artificial intelligence video generating feature quickly transforms plain text into video. It can create high-quality videos up to 30 minutes in duration.

2. Avatars that are Unique to You

Don’t want to go with Synthesia’s in-built moderators (avatars)? Build your own! It just takes around five minutes to design a modified avatar.

How do you do that? Transfer a photograph of the avatar (character) and let the computer-based intelligence generate an avatar for you. But this custom avatar creation package is not free. It can cost you around $1,000 extra.

If you do decide to take this route, here’s how you can create a video with a custom avatar in Synthesia:

• Create your own video.
• Present the video to Synthesia.
• Pay for the extra element (can take up to ten days).

Parting Thoughts

Synthesia makes it simple for anyone to create on-demand videos. Videos can be used across the learning journey as small learning bytes, aka microlearning. However, contrary to popular thinking, microlearning is not limited to videos. It is more than just disparate bits of knowledge offered in small bite-sized chunks. If you would like to have clarity on what microlearning is and isn’t, its key benefits, the different types of microlearning assets, and more, download this free eBook ‘The eBook ‘Where Does Microlearning Fit in Your Learning Strategy?’.
