Last updated: March 2026

Migrating from InVideo AI to Synthesia is ideal for users prioritizing realistic AI avatars, multilingual content, and enterprise-grade video production. While InVideo AI excels at fast, template-based videos with stock media, Synthesia offers photorealistic avatars speaking 120+ languages—perfect for training, explainers, and personalized content. This guide covers exporting assets, adapting workflows, and leveraging Synthesia's avatar-driven approach. Expect a shift from automated stock footage to customizable AI presenters, with enhanced professionalism but less automated media selection. We'll walk through data transfer, feature equivalents, and timeline to ensure a smooth transition.

Feature Mapping

InVideo AI	Synthesia Equivalent	Notes
Text-to-video generation	Text-to-video with AI avatars	Synthesia uses avatar narration instead of automated B-roll; less automated media selection
Stock media library	Built-in media library + uploads	Synthesia offers fewer stock items but supports custom uploads; less extensive than InVideo AI
AI voiceovers	AI avatar speech (120+ languages)	Synthesia integrates voice with avatars; more realistic but less voice-only flexibility
Social-ready templates	Customizable templates	Synthesia templates are avatar-focused; fewer pre-designed social templates
Automated editing	Manual scene editing	Synthesia requires more manual adjustments for visuals and timing
Freemium pricing	Paid plans only	Synthesia starts at $22/month; no free tier but offers a free trial
Beginner-friendly interface	User-friendly text editor	Both are accessible, but Synthesia's avatar customization has a learning curve

Data Transfer Guide

Export from InVideo AI: Access your dashboard, download scripts as text files, and save MP4s of published videos. Note that projects and templates don't transfer directly—focus on script content, media references, and branding assets. Organize exports by project. Import into Synthesia: Upload scripts to the text editor, scene by scene. Recreate visuals using Synthesia's media library or upload custom images/videos. For avatars, select from the library or create custom ones. No automated import exists, so manual recreation is required. Backup original InVideo AI assets until migration is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from InVideo AI to Synthesia?+

Direct project transfer isn't supported. Export scripts and media from InVideo AI, then manually recreate videos in Synthesia using avatars and its editor.

How long does migration take?+

For a solo user, expect 2-4 hours per video project. Teams may need 1-3 days to adapt workflows. Complexity depends on video volume and customization needs.

Will I lose any features switching to Synthesia?+

You'll gain AI avatars and multilingual support but lose some automated stock media selection and freemium access. Synthesia requires more manual visual curation.

Can I use both tools during migration?+

Yes, run both tools in parallel. Use InVideo AI for existing projects while testing Synthesia. Phase out InVideo AI after confirming Synthesia meets your needs.

Is Synthesia cheaper than InVideo AI?+

Synthesia starts at $22/month (paid plans only), while InVideo AI offers a free tier. For advanced features, compare paid tiers—Synthesia may cost more but adds avatar realism.
