Tips for Better Results
- Keep sentences short — under 20 words reads far more naturally from an AI avatar.
- Match the avatar to the content: formal avatars for training, casual ones for social/product videos.
- Break long scripts into scenes; Synthesia handles scene transitions better than one giant block.
- Localize by translating the script, not just dubbing — Synthesia can generate the same video in multiple languages.
