One note on transparency. EasyVideo is Easygenerator’s own product, so this is a comparison from the team behind it. The details on Synthesia, Colossyan, and HeyGen come from their public information and user reviews.
Quick summary
If you are looking for a Synthesia alternative for training, the real question is where your videos live. Synthesia is a standalone AI video studio. EasyVideo is built into Easygenerator, so your team creates, edits, and publishes training videos as part of a course rather than as a separate file.
Video is a format employees actively want. In a 2024 TechSmith survey, 83% of people said they prefer to learn from video over text or audio. Synthesia gives you a large avatar library and very wide language coverage for video across training, marketing, and internal communications. EasyVideo gives L&D teams and subject-matter experts a simpler way to turn what they already know into training videos that ship inside courses. The Easygenerator platform behind it holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating on G2.
How do Easygenerator and Synthesia compare?
Easygenerator and Synthesia solve the same surface problem in two different places. Synthesia is a video-first platform you use on its own. Easygenerator is an e-learning authoring tool, and its EasyVideo add-on lets you create AI videos without leaving the course you build.
Synthesia treats the video as the product. You write a script, pick an avatar, generate the video, then export it and place it wherever you need it. EasyVideo treats the video as one part of the learning. You create it next to your quizzes, text, and interactions, then you publish the whole course together. For L&D teams, that difference decides how much extra work happens after the video is finished.
Key differences between Easygenerator and Synthesia
The two tools share many video features. They differ most in where the work happens and who they are built for.

Synthesia leads on raw video capability. It has more avatars, wider language coverage, custom avatars of real presenters, and a built-in AI script assistant. EasyVideo leads on the training side. It puts video creation inside course authoring, it suits subject-matter experts who are not video editors, and it produces LMS-ready output without a separate step.
Why do teams look for a Synthesia alternative?
Worth remembering
Teams look for a Synthesia alternative when they realize the video is only half the work.
Synthesia makes the video well. You still have to build, assess, track, and update the training somewhere else, because a video tool does not do that part.
That gap shows up most in maintenance. When a process changes, you update the video in one tool, export it again, then replace it in your course or your LMS by hand. For a handful of videos, that is fine. Across a library that grows every quarter, the handoffs add up, and the version that learners see falls behind the version your expert already fixed. Training also needs quizzes and completion tracking that a video-only tool does not provide, so the course still gets assembled elsewhere.
How Easygenerator supports video creation at scale
Easygenerator supports video as one part of a full e-learning authoring tool, not as a feature on its own. This is the real difference between the two products. Synthesia is built for video, so you still need another tool to build the course around it. With Easygenerator, you create the course, the assessment, and the video in one flow, and EasyVideo is the add-on that handles the video part. There is real demand for this. In the same 2024 TechSmith survey, 38% of people said they would prefer their coworkers to share knowledge as video, which is exactly what a subject-matter expert can do inside a course.
One tool for the whole course, not just the video
Most training needs more than a video. It needs structure, questions that check understanding, and a way to reach learners and track them. Easygenerator handles all of that in one place. EasyAI is the author-first AI that helps an author turn a document or an idea into a structured course with clear learning objectives and draft content. You can add quizzes, fill-in-the-blank questions, true or false checks, and other interactions directly in the course. Authors and reviewers work together in real time, and you publish through SCORM, xAPI, or a direct link, with dynamic SCORM so updates reach your LMS without a re-upload. Synthesia does none of this, because it is built for video alone.
That is what lets L&D teams and internal experts produce company-tailored training at scale without a production team and without stitching three tools together.
Worth remembering
The video is never a separate project. It is one scene in the same course your expert is already building.
Turn a PowerPoint into a video
You can upload an existing PowerPoint deck and EasyVideo turns each slide into a structured video you can refine. It reads your slide content and speaker notes, drafts a script for each scene, and adds avatars and narration. Your team starts from what it already has instead of a blank screen.
Edit by scene, the way you edit slides
EasyVideo breaks each video into scenes, so editing feels familiar. You change the one scene that is wrong and nothing else moves. Scene templates for intros, explanations, summaries, and outros come pre-loaded with your organization’s branding and with instructional design built in, so a first-time author has a sensible starting point.
Translate into 75+ languages in one step
You can translate a video into more than 75 languages in a single step. On-screen text, subtitles, and narration all translate together, so your language versions stay aligned and global teams get the same training at the same time.
Publish the video and the course together
You publish the video as part of the course, not as a separate asset. Export it through SCORM to your LMS or share it with a direct link, and when you update the course later, the video updates with it. Every language version and every edit stays in sync, which is hard to manage when the video lives in one tool and the course lives in another. For distributed teams, that means one place to create, one place to update, and one set of learning analytics to show business impact.
When is Synthesia the better choice?
Synthesia is the better choice when the video itself is the deliverable. If you need the largest avatar library, very wide language coverage, custom avatars of real presenters, or polished video for marketing and external communications, Synthesia is built for exactly that. It is a mature product, and the 4.6 out of 5 rating on G2 reflects how well it does its core job.
Choose Easygenerator and EasyVideo if you want to create training videos inside the same tool you use to build courses, to let subject-matter experts make videos without editing skills, to combine video with quizzes and tracking in one course, and to update and translate videos as your training changes.
Choose Synthesia if you want a video-first tool you use on its own, access to the largest avatar and language libraries, custom avatars of real people, or video for marketing and external communications alongside training.
Synthesia alternatives to consider
Synthesia is not the only AI video tool teams compare. Two others come up often.
Colossyan
Colossyan is close to Synthesia in approach. It offers AI avatars, scene-based editing, and interactive elements like quizzes and branching. It works well for teams that want a standalone video tool with some learning features. Like Synthesia, it stops at the video, so the course and the tracking still happen in another tool. We compare EasyVideo and Colossyan in a separate article.
HeyGen
HeyGen is known for avatar quality and quick videos for social and marketing use. It is less focused on training workflows and course delivery than the other tools here, so it fits teams whose main need is video rather than structured learning.
Among these options, EasyVideo stands out for teams that want video to live inside their training rather than beside it.
Final thoughts
Synthesia is a strong AI video tool, and for video-first work it is hard to beat on avatars and languages. But if your goal is training, the video is only one piece of the work. EasyVideo keeps that piece inside the course, so your team can create, translate, and update training videos without a separate production step. For L&D teams that want to scale company-tailored training across global teams, that is the difference that matters. Easygenerator holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating on G2, and EasyVideo is part of the same platform.
