Examples to remix

Feature launch reel

A vertical, single-take feature announcement in which typed headline lines name a familiar chore, reveal the feature that ends it, and then show its mechanics through simplified interface elements that build and dissolve over one drifting ground.

Kinetic type launch

A music-driven launch film for a software product, told in big kinetic type: from an everyday frustration, through the product and how it works, to how easy it is to start and a held logo.

Demo recap

A vertical screen-walkthrough recap sent to a prospect after a sales demo: it replays the parts they saw, ties each one to the problem they raised, and closes on one agreed next step.

Welcome guide

A friendly presenter welcomes a newcomer, names a small set of numbered sections, opens each one in turn while its practical steps tick off beside them, then recaps everything and signs off warmly.

Policy change notice

A calm presenter-led announcement of a policy change that sets out what changes, when it takes effect, who it affects and where to ask, with each point held on screen beside the presenter.

Metric explainer

A short lesson that builds one business or everyday idea from a handful of numbered metrics, works each one out on screen with real figures, combines them into a verdict, tests it with a what-if and closes on a recap, with a presenter who frames it at the start and end.

Customer testimonial

A vertical social short in which one customer, played by a presenter avatar talking to camera, gives a genuine first-person verdict on a product, carried by word-synced captions over a soft music bed.

Craft steps

A cosy vertical how-to that builds a handmade object one clear step at a time, shown only through materials and tools moving on their own over a soft music bed.

History timeline

A reflective, slow-paced documentary collage that traces how something came to be, era by era, under a music bed with an unseen narrator.

What's new roundup

A fast vertical roundup of a month's small product updates, one after another, told in kinetic type with simplified interface fragments over a music bed.

Anniversary toast

A short, playful kinetic-type tribute for one colleague's work anniversary that counts up their years, runs through a few highlights and ends on a toast from the team.

Quick tip

A vertical, beat-cut kinetic-type short that teaches one practical tip and shows how to put it to use today, in under half a minute.

Troubleshooting fix

A landscape screen walkthrough that opens on the problem the viewer is seeing, explains its cause in plain terms, walks the fix one step at a time and confirms it worked.

Assembly guide

A patient, voice-only walkthrough that lays out every part as an illustrated diagram, then builds the object one step at a time and slows down wherever a step is easy to get wrong.

Paper digest

A presenter avatar explains one research paper to a non-specialist beside clear charts: the question it asked, how it was tested, what it found and why that matters.

Book summary

A vertical, thoughtfully paced kinetic-type summary that distils one book into its central idea and a few lessons worth keeping, voiced over a quiet music bed with simple icons.

Role-play contrast

Two presenter avatars act out a hard workplace conversation done badly, then done well, and the difference between the two is drawn out so the viewer can carry it into their own conversations.

All your ChatGPT video questions answered

How do I make a video with ChatGPT and Synthesia?

There are two ways. Write your script or idea in ChatGPT, then paste it into the tool on this page and Syren builds the video while you watch. Or install the Synthesia plugin in ChatGPT, tag Synthesia in your message, and ask for a video with “use Syren”. Either way, you refine the result by chatting.

Is the ChatGPT video generator free?

Yes, you can make your first video with the ChatGPT video generator for free. You get free launch credits for one Syren video, so you can describe an idea, watch it build, and change it in chat before you pay for anything. Free videos include a watermark, and fair usage caps apply.

Can I use Synthesia inside ChatGPT?

Yes. Synthesia’s MCP integration is listed in the ChatGPT marketplace, so you can create and edit Syren videos without leaving the chat. Tag Synthesia in your message and include “use Syren” in your prompt. The Syren player appears in the conversation, you describe changes to refine the video, and you ask ChatGPT to export the full-quality file when you’re happy. Without “use Syren”, the assistant may create a Studio draft instead. Check out the Synthesia MCP docs for more setup tips.

How many credits does a ChatGPT-style video use?

A two-minute Syren video with up to two rounds of edits typically uses 1,000 to 2,000 credits. Actual usage depends on how long and complex the video is and how much you refine it. Syren uses your launch credits first, then your account’s standard credits. Syren videos made through ChatGPT use credits in the same way.

What can I paste or upload to generate a video?

In the tool on this page, you can type an idea of up to 500 characters, paste a script of up to 1,500 characters, upload a PPTX, PDF, DOCX, or TXT file, or add a link to a public article or blog post. Documents over 4,500 words are rejected. Inside Syren itself, you can also add images, videos, and YouTube links as source material.

How long can a Syren video be, and what formats does it support?

Syren videos can run up to 60 minutes in landscape (16:9) or portrait (9:16). You pick the shape before you send your prompt.

Can I edit a video after Syren generates it?

Yes, in two ways. Ask Syren in chat to change the script, avatar, voice, scenes, music, shot types, or pronunciation. Or select an element on the picture and move it, retype it, or give it a quick instruction.

How long can my video be?

Syren videos can run up to 60 minutes. Before Syren plans a video longer than 15 minutes, it asks you to confirm. If a change would push you past your limit, Syren tells you which limit applies and how long the change would have made the video. Need more than 60 minutes? Build it in Studio, where a video can run up to four hours across a maximum of 150 scenes, with each scene up to five minutes.

Q: How is Syren different from Synthesia Studio?

Syren is prompt-driven and built for speed and creative output, such as launch videos, explainers, how-tos, and marketing content. Studio is for content where the message has to be exact and repeatable, like training, compliance, and onboarding, with control over every script line and scene. If you want your own Personal Avatar or a cloned voice, create the video in Studio.

Can I use videos from the ChatGPT video generator commercially?

Yes. You can use Syren videos for commercial projects such as marketing, product launches, and ads, and you own the videos you create. Make sure you have the rights to anything you upload, such as images, footage, or other brands’ logos.

Not just a ChatGPT video generator

Synthesia is an end-to-end AI video platform for creating, localizing, and engaging audiences at scale. Syren, our AI video agent, turns a prompt into video, the AI video generator gives you scene-by-scene control, and AI avatars put a presenter on screen without a shoot.

From there, turn slides into video with PowerPoint to video, dub finished videos into 130+ languages, and add interactivity so viewers make choices instead of just watching. One platform, from the first prompt to the finished video.
