SYNTHESIA ALTERNATIVE

A Synthesia alternative for product videos that show the product, not an avatar.

Synthesia is built around AI presenters: a digital human reads your script. For SaaS launches, demos and feature announcements, viewers want to see the product itself. Videly turns your screenshots and script into a motion-designed product video, no avatar required.

  • Your UI is the star of every scene
  • Brand kit, captions and optional AI voice-over
  • Storyboard preview before you render

THE PROBLEM

Why SaaS teams look for a Synthesia alternative.

Avatar videos work well for training, onboarding and localised talking-head content. For product marketing they have a catch: a presenter takes up the frame your product should fill, and audiences increasingly recognise AI avatars. If your goal is to make the product look good, you need a tool built around the product.

HOW VIDELY DOES IT

Built for this specific job, not a generic editor.

01

Product-first scenes

Screenshots or your product URL become animated scenes with zooms, focus pulls and transitions.

02

Script-driven storyboard

Write a paragraph; Videly plans the scenes and shows the storyboard for approval before rendering.

03

Voice without a face

Optional AI voice-over from your script, or upload your own audio. Captions are generated automatically.

04

Ready for every channel

Export 16:9, 1:1 and 9:16 for your site, social posts, Product Hunt and app stores.

WHO USES THIS

Examples in the wild.

Launch videos

Announce a new product or major release with a designed video.

Feature announcements

A short video for every release note, consistent with your brand.

Product demos

A landing-page or sales demo built from your real UI.

Keep avatars where they fit

Training and multilingual talking-head content can stay on an avatar platform.
