Video license:

You can share videos on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, social media, or your website.

Unless you use a custom avatar, you can not share your videos on any paid campaign (Facebook Ads, YouTube Ads, paid TV Ads) or any form of paid promotion.

Content Moderation:

Synthesia applies a system of both human and machine moderation to improve efficiency. However content about illegal things, violence, and harmful is forbidden.

• Both platforms offer the same kind of service. Synthesia has more features, including useful integrations and keeps adding new avatars regularly.
• Movio editor works in a timeline like traditional video editors, but Synthesia edits scenes and slides.
• Price comparison might be tricky, since Movio offers many pricing options cheaper than Synthesia. A Synthesia corporate plan might be a better value than Movio offers. Furthermore,  Synthesia should have an intermediate plan to accommodate users in need of more production minutes.
• In Synthesia maximum video length is 10 minutes, but this is a more mature platform with shorter rendering and moderation times.
• Synthesia does not have a free trial, but to test the platform, you can create a video for free on their webpage.
• These platforms are intended for many types of videos and deliver what they promise. Considering the cost of a 10-minute video with real actors, production, language localization, and post-production, nothing can beat them both. And don´t forget you can edit the video in just minutes.
