AI Avatars Let Me Ship Training Video Without a Camera

I used Synthesia to turn a dry onboarding doc into a clip my team would actually watch. No camera, no actor, no reshoot because someone blinked.

The avatars still blink on a schedule that feels slightly off, and the voice reads a touch flat. But for 'here's how the refund process works,' nobody cares about cinematic truth.

What sold me is versioning. Change the policy, regenerate the clip in ten minutes. The old world meant rebooking a studio.

Use it for facts, not feeling. When the message needs a human face, hire one. For everything routine, the avatar is fine and far cheaper.
