Making videos with Rephrase

Rephrase's website does not provide a lot of information about the Rephrase Studio Platform or its features. Based on their promo video, the video editor is quite limited, with no options to add animations, transitions, screen recordings, or change aspect ratios.

The video rendering time could not be measured for Rephrase, as it is impossible to get access to the Studio Platform without talking to sales.

Rephrase’s security & ethics

As of March 2023, Rephrase does not seem to moderate the content produced on the platform, which can lead to harmful uses of the technology, such as misinformation, disinformation, harassment, and more.

With regards to the security of the platform itself, Rephrase does not offer Single Sign-On (SSO) and does not seem to be SOC compliant. Both factors can stand in the way of big enterprises using the software.

Synthesia’s security & ethics

In contrast, Synthesia has a strict content moderation policy (automated & manual), as well as SSO. The platform recently became SOC 2 Type I certified, with Type II certification expected by April 2023.
