Synthesia AI Avatars: How to Generate Professional Video from Text

Lights, Camera, AI: Why Your Next Presenter Isn't Human

Traditional video production is slow, expensive, and impossible to scale. In 2026, the "Hollywood" setup is being replaced by a single text box.

The Problem: The "Production Tax"

In the past, if you wanted to update a single line in a training video, you had to re-hire the actor, book the studio, and match the lighting perfectly. This "production tax" means most corporate content stays outdated for years. You’re trading weeks of time for minutes of footage.

The Scalability Gap: If your business goes global, you need 20 different actors for 20 different languages. That’s not a workflow; it’s a logistics nightmare.

The Solution: Generative Video Avatars

Synthesia AI transforms the entire video stack into a software problem. By using Express-2 technology, AI avatars now mimic human mannerisms, facial dynamics, and micro-gestures with photorealistic accuracy. You don't record video anymore; you generate it from a script.

Pro Tip: Use the "AI Dubbing" feature to maintain the same avatar and voice identity across 140+ languages. This builds a consistent global brand identity that was previously impossible for small teams.

The "Text-to-Video" Workflow

1. Select an Avatar (240+ ready-made options).
2. Paste your Script (Text-to-Speech generation).
3. Apply a Brand Kit (Logos, fonts, and colors).
4. Generate B-Roll (Prompt avatars to wave or gesture).
5. Export 1080p Video in minutes.
