How to generate videos from templates with your AI

Connect Synthesia to your AI client to turn text into video using your pre-built layouts. You just provide the script, and your agent handles the rendering.

Short answer

How can I automate video creation with my AI?

Your AI client uses your existing Synthesia Studio layouts to create new videos by injecting fresh scripts into them. This process lets you scale video production without manual editing for every new version. You'll see the results in your Synthesia account once the rendering finishes.

Where every video lands.

The outcomes of your request

Depending on how you prompt your agent, you'll get different results in Synthesia.

READY

New videos rendered

The AI uses your chosen template and script to trigger a render. You'll find the finished video files waiting in your Synthesia dashboard.

LISTED

Template and avatar lists

Your agent pulls all available layouts and digital actors from your account. This gives you a clear view of what you can use for your next batch.

REVIEW

Human quality check

The AI handles the technical heavy lifting, but you still need to check the final video. You'll review the timing and visual alignment in the Synthesia Studio.

SYNCED

Updated video library

Your existing library stays organized. Every new video is tied to the specific template you selected during the chat.

The workflow

What your AI does when the script arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your text prompts and the Synthesia rendering engine.

  1. Identify assets

    Your agent looks through your Synthesia account to find the right layouts and digital actors for your project.

FAQ

How this task behaves

    No. The AI can only inject new text into the existing script fields of your layouts.

  • 02

    Does the AI create new templates from scratch?

    No. It can only use the templates that already exist in your Synthesia account.

  • 03

    How do I know when the video is finished?

    The AI triggers the creation process, but you should check your Synthesia dashboard to see the rendering progress and final output.

  • 04

    Can I change the avatar used in a template?

    Yes, if you specify a different avatar during the request, the AI can use that instead of the template default.
