Our take
Pick Synthesia if l&D and internal comms teams who want avatar videos without a camera crew. Pick Autodesk Flow Studio if indie filmmakers and VFX students who will shoot a plate and pay credits for the composite. Skip Synthesia if creators who want a consumer avatar clip (HeyGen) or a general generative video tool (Runway).
