Synthesia Made a Training Video With No Camera, No Crew, No Reshoots

The avatar is uncanny up close, but for a 90-second internal clip it shipped the job.

I needed an onboarding clip and had no studio. Synthesia's avatar narrated the script.

I wrote tight sentences because the avatar reads every word; long clauses sound wooden.

The scene templates handled the background, so I only worried about the script and the takeaways.

Up close the blink is off, so I keep the avatar small in frame and the text large.

For internal training it beat booking a room. For a hero video, I'd still use a real person.

A research paper I'd been avoiding became a 25-minute walk. The workflow is dumb, and that's why it worked.

Not zero-inbox. A loop that decides what is real so I only touch email twice a day.
