Create AI videos with 240+ avatars in 160+ languages

Today, we’re introducing Synthesia 2.0—the world’s first AI video communications platform for business—and sharing with you the new products and features we’re building to improve the way organizations and individuals communicate and share information.

Introducing Personal AI Avatars

Avatars are at the core of Synthesia, and we’re constantly working on improving the quality and capabilities.

We’ve made it our goal to create the world’s most realistic AI avatars to help humans augment their capabilities. Last month, we introduced the world’s first Expressive AI Avatars, powered by our EXPRESS-1 model. These avatars understand what they’re saying and how they should say it, adjusting their tone of voice, facial expressions and body language based on the context of your script.

Many of our customers want to have their own avatar. With Synthesia 2.0 we’re making it a much easier experience and significantly increasing the quality and capabilities.

With Synthesia 2.0, you will have two ways of creating a personal avatar

Bulk creation and brand templates coming to AI Video Assistant

Earlier this year we introduced our AI Video Assistant. Today, it enables you to simply select a template, write a prompt, upload an existing document or link, specify things like the tone of voice, length of your video, or audience, and with a click of a button, you get a draft of your video.

One key request was for the AI video assistant to incorporate your brand identity. We’re making this feature available next month, allowing users to create videos automatically with their brand elements, such as typography, colors, and logos, and achieve a consistent look and feel for all your videos.

More intuitive editing with Triggers and our new AI Screen Recorder

We’ve dramatically simplified the editing process, without compromising on flexibility. In fact, 9 out of 10 people can create their first video in less than 10 minutes, without prior experience.

We’ve achieved that by replacing the traditional video timeline with simple triggers that you can control directly from your script. This change puts your script at the heart of your story, allowing you to animate video elements and make edits in a simple and intuitive way.

But what we’ve also learned is that many of our customers need to include screen-recorded content in their videos, but find the process complicated. Today, you’d have to use multiple tools to capture your screen, edit the recording, match the voiceover, and if you need to update it, you have to start all over again.

We believe there’s a better way with our upcoming AI Screen Recorder. Here’s how it works: you will be able to do this from Synthesia using the AI Screen Recorder. Once the recording is done, the video is immediately available for editing, with the voiceover transcribed, perfectly matching the screen capture, and automatic zoom effects to emphasize key actions.

Translations and a new, dynamic video player

About a year ago, we introduced the 1-click translations feature in Synthesia, which enables you to automatically translate your videos into over 120 languages with one click.

Today, we’re introducing the updated translation experience in Synthesia. You simply create one version of your video, translate it into any language you want, and if you need to update your video, just make changes to the original version. All other language versions will update automatically.

AI safety built in from day one

We know generative AI is a powerful technology. That’s why we’ve treated AI safety as a core part of building our products and growing our business. Thanks to these investments that we’ve made early on, Synthesia will soon be the first AI company in the world to achieve ISO/IEC 42001 certification, providing a structured way to manage risks and opportunities associated with AI.

Be the first to experience Synthesia 2.0

We’ve reinvented every step of video production from the ground up and created one incredibly powerful, yet remarkably easy-to-use platform, enabling your business to transition to a video-first world and drive business outcomes.
