[@synthesia-io]

🚀 Head here to try out the expressive AI avatars from Synthesia: www.synthesia.io/avatars?

[@delfimcorrea3250]

Great! Wonderful new features. Very usefull.

[@synthesia-io]

Glad you think so!

[@ChristianBseliss]

THIS IS FIRE! Huge step towards updating all our 200+ Training videos! About time eh!

[@synthesia-io]

We're all very happy with how these new avatars turned out. Glad you find them so revolutionary!

[@andy-kai-chan]

Great tool. I recall when I recorded my avatar, I waved my hands around a bit. I do hope future avatars render the hand movements a little better.

[@synthesia-io]

Working on it Andy! Check out our RFHuman research (also on the channel).

[@motionbruh]

Just checked, these express-1 avatars are impressive, almost human-like. I noticed Ada and Julia only come with close-up camera shots. Can you provide us with medium shots as well?

[@synthesia-io]

Aha! I didn't know that myself-but I'm sure the medium shots are in the works.

[@LevGorman]

Hi Victor, Your product looks great. Will sign up for the trial version of it to start. Not sure how long it takes for my copywriter to get comfortable with it. Are there any time limitations for this version? Thank you.

[@synthesia-io]

No time limits (as far as I'm aware!)

[@bulliethepirate]

Amazing but I don't get the product marketing example. As far as I know you do not let your avatars to be used for marketing purposes (based on an interaction I had with your customer support) so showing it as a sample is little misleading.

[@TerzaEkholm]

Thanks, this is an awesome development!

[@chisomokafor4198]

What about hand gestures?

[@synthesia-io]

Working on it!

I am so happy with you guys and this recent update has been a game changer !. I'm a solo software developer , however i happily pay the 90 euros every month for the Creator plan. I don't really want to go into Enterprise as I only need the extra video minutes. Is there really no way to buy extra video minutes in the current plan i am itself? Please think about it, Synthesia Team :)

[@MJSye]

Hello, I hope you are doing well. May you always have peace and happiness. Can I make videos of experimental videos (Create A Free Ai Vıdeo) and put it on my KZbin channel while keeping the watermark for synthesia. I mean, are there rights for your experimental videos In other words, can my KZbin channels be closed if the videos made of experimental videos are published

[@compraconoficial]

Muito bom, gostaria de aprender mais, moro no Brasil

[@Storiesnostalgia12]

I am from India

[@kwpf]

It's a great tool. No doubt about it. But too pricey unfortunately.

[@synthesia-io]

We launched free accounts globally yesterday. It allows you to make 3 minutes of video per month to try Synthesia out, if you'd like to give it a shot?

[@rexguo]

I'm a paying user and I've used your avatar to good effect. While start ups keep pushing the core tech, many often overlook UI/UX fundamentals. For instance, your money making button 'Generate' is in the far right top corner but the user's attention area is at the video output and the script area at the bottom, they form a vertical line. So your money making button's natural position is just below the script area. Contrast this with where it currently is and one should be able to see the disconnect.

[@synthesia-io]

Good point! Will definitely feed this back to the team, thanks for your suggestion. I would anticipate one objection to this, though: we don't necessarily want a user hitting the 'money maker' button before they get their money's worth, which could happen often if it were beside the script area.

[@rexguo]

@@synthesia-io After a couple of tries, most users will understand that Generate will take time and is something they only click when the work is done in the script area.

[@rexguo]

@synthesia-io If you have a data driven decision process within the company then the standard thing to do is an A-B test and see which users prefer, and also ask how many new users find themselves searching for the Generate button when making their first video.

[@synthesia-io]

@@rexguo Definitely worth testing out, thanks!

[@SifuBillStewart]

The ideal User centered UX design is transparent. ie. what I need NOW is focused, until it's clear that I need something different. Therefore, the controls to iterate on the video should take center stage, while the "money-maker" Generate button is merely available, but gets greater focus when editing is complete. User research and mutlivariate tests can determine "tells" to determine when users are ready to generate. Customer satisfaction from valid "Generate" clicks are more valuable than short term $$ from hitting "Generate" too early that can leave a bad taste in a customer's mouth.
