Synthesia just raised $90 million in Series C funding led by Accel… and with that… officially joined the unicorn club 🦄 🦄 🦄

Back in 2017, no one really understood our vision..

When Victor and Steffen first used the term "generative video," people just didn't get it, and they even switched to "synthetic video" in their presentations 😅

Fast forward to 2023, it turns out that it was not about the terminology at all :)

💥 today, the generative AI landscape is booming
🎥 50,000 businesses using Synthesia
❤️ 200 employees
🦄 sustainable + growing business

At this point, we'd like to thank all our customers, investors, and supporters who have been with us on this incredible journey.

With the new funding, we will continue to revolutionize video production and push the boundaries of what's possible. 🤸

Stay tuned 😊

P.S. History is made by legendary teams, and we're building one here at Synthesia. See the comments below for more information and join the rocketship while it's taking off! 🚀

One thing we take immense pride in is our R&D team - and we’re happy to share it has just expanded with the addition of another exceptional member 🧠

Please welcome Vittorio Ferrari, our new Director of Science, to the team 👋

He joins us from Google, where he was a Principal Scientist leading research in computer vision and machine learning. Before that, he built and led teams at ETH Zurich and the University of Edinburgh.

Get a glimpse into Vittorio's extraordinary work, his role at Synthesia, and his vision for AI video by clicking the link below!

We couldn't resist having a little fun with the G2 fall reports this time 🙊


A few days ago we received 252 excellence badges like: High performer, Momentum leader, Easiest admin, … you name it.

This is great and we’re super grateful, but we realized none of this would be possible without you – our amazing Synthesia users.

That’s why we had a little fun and created our own Synthesia user excellence badges - just for you, as a token of appreciation and a Thank you from our team.

You deserve them all ❤️

Oh, and apart from your very own badge, there might be another little surprise for you waiting in your email inbox 👀

You’ve been asking for this feature a lot - and have even found some workarounds while waiting 🙊 But here it is, one of our most requested features ever:

Aspect ratios 📺 💻📱

That means you can now create stunning Synthesia videos for an array of platforms and devices:

• Landscape (16:9)
• Portrait (9:16)
• Square (1:1)
• Tall (4:5)
• Wide (5:4)

And yes, you can also resize your existing content 😊

Now tell us - on a scale of 1 to 10, how happy are you with this update? 👀

(AI) video in education is a popular topic, so today we're sharing a story about how and why the largest state-accredited university in Germany uses it.

With Synthesia, the team at IU International University of Applied Sciences is able to:

🗣️ create video lectures in no time

👀 create internal learning content for the IU staff

🤳 add a face to its virtual assistant for students across all digital channels

📚 turn text-based case study assignments into engaging videos for students

P.S. Special thanks to Felix Schiessl for sharing these insights with us! 🙌

Big thanks to Gartner for featuring Synthesia in their latest Emerging Tech Report on Generative AI. There’s 1 fact we’re especially proud of 👇

Out of the 11 primary business values achieved through GenAI, Synthesia ticks 8 🤯

Link to the full report and some AI video success stories are in the comments!

Time to turn your old PPT into a nice, catchy video? Great, but before you start, make sure you avoid these 3 common mistakes:

#1 Placing just a talking head on the slide deck and call it good enough ❌

#2 Chopping up a deck into small videos without changing anything ❌

#3 Not reworking the content for its new context in video ❌

So - what should you do instead? 🤔

Visit the link below for a simple 5-step tutorial 👇

Biggest benefits of making training videos with Synthesia? We could talk about it for hours, but that would be boring - so we asked our users instead 👇

“our production time on e-learning has been cut in half”
“perfect way to start pushing out content fast”
“Synthesia makes edits 20x easier”

Not impressed? 🤨

Then check out the link in comments for more AI video success stories from companies like Xerox, DuPont and more 😁

The impact of your videos is determined by their quality, not their quantity. So before starting your next video project, consider these 5 things:

🤔 Who is this video for and what do you want them to do?
🎯 How do you make sure your point will come across?
🎨 How do your visuals support the script?
👀 How does the experience go beyond just watching?
👍 And after all, how do you know if your video is any good?

Tough questions, right?

But no worries - visit Synthesia Academy and learn how to create best-in-class videos in just a few minutes 🎓

“When we said we were creating videos on our own I think expectations were low,” Darren from DuPont told us. However, reality proved otherwise 👇

💸 up to +$10,000 savings per video compared to third-party vendors

⏩️ 80% faster video creation, saving valuable time and resources

🤖 an organizational transformation with Synthesia bringing novelty and AI innovation to DuPont’s learning content
