Why creators go looking for an

Synthesia

alternative

Avatars and slides get the job done for quick updates. But the moment you need something that looks produced, you hit a wall.

Every Video Looks the Same

Avatar + slides + voiceover. It works for basic updates, but nothing feels produced.

No Real Visuals

No b-roll, no motion graphics, no cinematic scenes. Just a presenter talking at the camera.

One Format Only

Need animated explainers? Product demos? A brand film? Synthesia can't flex beyond its avatar format.

Making the switch :)

Moving from

Synthesia

to Atlabs

Avatars and slides get the job done for quick updates. But the moment you need something that looks produced, you hit a wall.

Bring your assets across

Upload the images and clips you've already generated. They can be used as characters, reference frames or scene assets inside an Atlabs project.

Cast your characters once

Turn an existing character image into a cast member. From then on it stays consistent across every scene in the project, and across future projects.

Start from the script, not the prompt

This is the habit that changes. Instead of prompting shot by shot, you paste a script, a song or a product brief and adjust the scenes it generates.

Add the audio in place

Pick a voice, generate lip sync, generate custom text-to-music, and export at 1080p - or export the project to Premiere Pro if a human editor is finishing it.

Everything your avatar video needs. All in one place.

Lip-sync so natural, it looks recorded

Atlabs’ lip-sync engine matches every word in your script to your avatar’s mouth movements with frame-level precision. The result looks and feels like a real person reading your script - not a robot with moving lips.

Ultra-realistic AI voices in 40+ languages

Choose from dozens of AI voices with natural tone, rhythm, and breath patterns. Pick the accent, language, gender, and emotional style that fits your content. Preview before you generate - no surprises.

Add emotions and emphasis to your voice

Go beyond flat AI narration. Adjust pace, add pauses, emphasise key words, and set the emotional tone of your voiceover - so your avatar sounds engaged, not robotic.

AI script writer built in

Do not have a script yet? Describe your topic and target audience and Atlabs writes a ready-to-use script for you. Edit it, shorten it, or use it as is - then generate your video in one click.

Every aspect ratio, every platform

Export your avatar video in 16:9 for YouTube and LinkedIn, 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, and 1:1 for Instagram. Smart reframe handles the layout - you just pick your platform and download.

Consistent character across every video

Once you create or select your avatar, use it across unlimited videos. Your character stays visually identical - same face, same style, same presence - building a recognisable brand persona at scale.

Add captions automatically

Turn on auto-captions and Atlabs generates accurate, stylised subtitles synced to your avatar’s speech. Essential for social platforms where most viewers watch on mute.
