Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited customization options for advanced users

   The tool offers pre-defined templates and limited flexibility in modifying the underlying AI models or video generation parameters.

2. 02

   Expensive at scale, with high costs for large volumes of videos

   Pricing tiers are based on the number of videos generated, which can become prohibitively expensive for businesses producing hundreds or thousands of videos monthly.

3. 03

   Vendor lock-in due to proprietary technology and lack of open standards support

   Synthesia's video generation process is tightly coupled with its own platform, making it difficult to migrate or integrate with other systems without significant rework.

4. 04

   Performance issues with complex scripts or long videos

   The tool can struggle with generating high-quality videos for longer scripts or more complex scenes, leading to increased processing times and lower video quality.
