If you’ve ever developed professional sales and marketing presentations or training videos, you know how resource-driven, time-consuming, and expensive the process can be. Once your script is finalized… setting up a scene with great lighting and audio, finalizing and negotiating your on-camera talent, and then editing and producing a great video is no small feat. And, if your company is agile and moving fast – constantly producing new products and service offerings… you either can’t afford the costs or time it takes to keep your video library up to date. Enter the AI-driven avatar!
Synthesia Demo Video For Martech Zone
In a few minutes, I was able to produce this demo video using Synthesia, a platform that allows users to create AI-powered video content with customizable avatars that can mimic human speech and movements.
It’s not perfect (yet), but I believe that may be to a company’s advantage. (If you’re reading this article and don’t see the video, just click through to the Synthesia overview article). Just as chatbots arrived and frustrated visitors who were misled into believing they were speaking to an actual person, I believe the utilization of avatars may see a similar challenge. I actually like that the lip movement was slightly off… and I had to produce the video twice to ensure that Martech Zone was properly annunciated by the avatar.
I still believe the output is captivating. The use of avatars in videos is important because it allows teams to create a more dynamic and engaging learning environment. Just as having a spokesperson would, avatars can help to convey complex ideas and concepts in a simple and relatable way, which can help learners to better understand and retain the information being presented.
Producing these videos without AI can be expensive due to the need for specialized equipment, software, and expertise. Traditional video production requires a team of professionals, including directors, actors, camera operators, sound technicians, and editors, which can be costly and time-consuming. AI-powered video production platforms like Synthesia, however, can reduce costs and streamline the production process by automating many of these tasks.
