Synthesia Review
Synthesia removes cameras, actors, and studio space from the equation entirely, write a script, pick an avatar, and a finished video is ready in minutes. That's exactly why it's caught on for training and onboarding at scale.
There's no free tier, which tracks given it's aimed at business use. For companies producing video regularly, the savings over traditional production add up quickly.
