→How to Migrate from Synthesia to InVideo AI (Step-by-Step)
Last updated: April 2026
Migrating from Synthesia to InVideo AI can offer significant advantages, particularly for users seeking a more automated, template-driven workflow with extensive stock media libraries. While Synthesia excels at AI avatar-driven corporate videos, InVideo AI automates the entire production pipeline—from script generation to final edit—making it ideal for marketing, social media, and content repurposing. This guide covers the complete migration process, including data preparation, account setup, feature adaptation, and workflow transition, ensuring a smooth shift to a platform that emphasizes speed and creative automation over customizable AI presenters.

| Synthesia | InVideo AI Equivalent | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| AI Avatars (160+ presenters) | Stock Footage Library & AI Presenter (limited) | InVideo AI uses real stock footage and a limited selection of AI-generated presenters. The focus shifts from a talking avatar to visual storytelling with voiceovers. |
| Text-to-Video with Avatar | Prompt-to-Video / Article-to-Video | InVideo AI automates more of the process, generating a full edit from text. You guide it with prompts rather than scripting direct avatar actions. |
| Multilingual Voiceovers (130+ languages) | Multilingual Voiceovers | Both support many languages. InVideo AI's voices are standard TTS; Synthesia may offer more avatar-synced lip movements for certain languages. |
| Studio for precise avatar/scene editing | Online Editor for scene-by-scene customization | InVideo AI's editor is template and media-focused. It offers less control over a virtual actor's gestures but more control over visuals, text, and music. |
| Custom Avatar Creation (Enterprise) | Brand Kit (Custom logos/colors/fonts) | InVideo AI cannot create custom AI avatars. It compensates with strong visual branding tools to maintain corporate identity through assets, not personas. |
| Screen Recorder Integration | Media Upload & Stock Library | You can upload screen recordings. InVideo AI's strength is its massive integrated stock library (images/video clips) to illustrate points instead of an avatar. |
| PPT to Video | Article/Blog Post to Video | InVideo AI excels at converting long-form text into videos, a feature more geared towards content marketers compared to Synthesia's presentation focus. |
Data Transfer Guide
Synthesia does not offer a direct data export for project files. Your migration is a manual recreation process. First, export your final videos from Synthesia's dashboard in MP4 format for archival purposes. For active projects, you must manually copy the text scripts from each Synthesia scene into a document. Then, in InVideo AI, you input this text as a script or prompt. Any custom media (images, logos, music) used in Synthesia must be downloaded from your computer's uploads and re-uploaded into InVideo AI's media library. There is no automated import; treat InVideo AI as a new production environment.
