Connect Synthesia to your AI client to turn text scripts into finished videos using pre-set templates.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I make a lot of instructional videos at once using AI?

You give your AI a list of scripts and tell it which templates to use. The AI then maps those scripts to the templates and triggers the video creation process. You'll get a list of video IDs to track your progress.

The outcomes of this task.

Where your videos land.

What happens when you run this workflow.

READY

Template selection

The AI finds the right video layouts for your content. You get a list of available styles to choose from.

ACTIVE

Mass production

Your AI sends the scripts to Synthesia. Multiple videos start rendering based on your instructions.

TRACKING

Status updates

The AI monitors the rendering progress. You receive specific details on which videos are done and which are still processing.

HUMAN

Final review

You check the finished files. The AI handles the heavy lifting, but you decide if the final output meets your standards.

The workflow

What your AI does when the scripts arrive.

The AI handles the repetitive mapping and triggering so you don't have to manually enter data into a web dashboard.

  1. Identify templates

    The AI looks through your Synthesia account to see which video layouts are available for use.

    list_templates

  2. Check template specs

    The AI examines a specific template to ensure your script fits the required format and structure.

    get_template_details

  3. Trigger creation

    The AI pushes your scripts into the selected templates to start the rendering process.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI edit the video content after it starts rendering?

    No. Once the video creation is triggered, the AI cannot change the content. You would need to trigger a new video with a corrected script.

  • 02

    Can the AI create new templates for me?

    No. The AI can only use templates that already exist in your Synthesia account.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which script goes to which template?

    You tell the AI which template to use for a specific set of scripts in your prompt.

  • 04

    Can the AI delete videos from my account?

    No. This Connector only has tools to list, get details, and create videos.

  • 05

    Will the AI notify me when a video is done?

    The AI can check the status whenever you ask it to, but it doesn't send proactive notifications on its own.
