Best suited for
Synthesia is particularly suited to a workflow built around avatar videos: collect source material, condense it into training content and turn the result into a useful asset with multilingual presenters.
The reason to choose Synthesia is its specific combination of avatar videos, training content and multilingual presenters; this combination distinguishes it within the 'Video & Audio' category from purely general-purpose or specialist solutions.
Limitations
When authenticity, real emotion or complex interaction matters, avatar videos can feel too sterile.
Strengths
Training content
You turn recurring work instructions into individual video modules and can embed them or import them into a learning platform as a SCORM package, for example for new sales staff.

Two ideas for your working day
Turn an offer presentation into a short explainer
Start with an approved PowerPoint or offer page and generate an initial video draft. Reduce the script to the customer problem, three service components and a next step. Check numbers and service limitations from the source especially carefully before having the avatar present the version to prospects.
Synthesia: Create, Manage and PublishMaintain frequently changing explanations through embeds
If your process or offer changes regularly, embed the video on the relevant webpage. Later, edit the original Synthesia video so that the embed uses the updated version. Then check the page itself; video files already downloaded and uploaded separately must be replaced individually.
