What do you like best about Synthesia?
When I found out about Synthesia I was skeptical about the idea of AI being able to generate the video. But when I started using it - I fell in love with it. The most important advantages for me:
1) It is easy to use. I am not a very experienced video editor, but I quickly understood what to do with Synthesia.
2) It is pretty flexible on price. What I mean by that is that you can generate at least one video on a free basis. But if you want more features, you need to buy them. But again - the price is not very high. A professional video editor and actor who can read the text on a camera will cost you much more.
3) Customer support is quick and helpful. I have lost access to my account and they helped me to log in even though I haven't paid any money for the subscription yet.
What do you dislike about Synthesia?
1) I don't really understand how many video generation minutes will be accounted for when I generate video. Is there any formula? For me, this system is not obvious.
2) Pauses between scenes sometimes are too big and I don't know how to reduce them.
Anyway, I will still use Syntesia because the advantages are much, much bigger.
What problems is Synthesia solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a few words - it saves money because you don't need pay to professional sctors and narrators.
