Say goodbye to complex editing – our AI video generator simplifies the creation of professional-quality vertical video shorts. With VideoSynth.AI, you'll have the tools to consistently produce vertical video shorts that captivate and engage your audience. Whether you would like to create little meme videos, vertical shorts, or longer vertical videos, VideoSynth.ai has you covered. Your only limit will be your imagination. You can create cartoon-looking characters using the built-in cartoon character designer or create and use more realistic humanoid avatars from Ready Player Me. Then you can select from the many built-in stages or create a stage using the built-in ai. After that, you direct your film creating the sequence of events you want, and the characters can even speak using ai-generated voices. Ultimately, you produce 9:16 vertical videos and upload them to your favorite social media sites, including Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, YouTube and Snapchat. While you can create great movies with VideoSynth.ai without using any AI features, we have added integrated generative AI at various points that can help you create better movies faster. 1. Our new AI Video Generator allows you to quickly create your first video within a few minutes of installing the app. 2. Using Ready Player Me, if desired, you can create your initial avatar by taking your photo and AI avatar generator will create an avatar that closely resembles you. 3. You can then select an AI generated voice for your different cast members and customize it to sound the way you desire. This includes a selection of high-fidelity voices built using WaveNet, a generative model for raw audio created by Google DeepMind, ElevenLabs, which allows for custom voices or Azure Speech AI, which has support for over 120 different languages. 4. No matter how many backgrounds we design for stages, you may want a background for your movie that we have not created. The AI stage generator leverages DALL-E, a generative AI art platform, to generate background stages based on your text input and desires. The utilization of AI, powered by DALL-E, to generate stages based upon text prompts is a game-changer that offers you greater flexibility in the videos you create. 5. Our built-in integration with Mubert allows you generate background music using AI so your video will have original music that is royalty and copyright free. 6. You can use AI to generate the dialogues for your cast members to speak. Using the built-in Open AI GPT-3.5-Turbo, GPT-4 or Google Vertex ai text generators, you can not only create fantastic dialogue, but then VideoSynth.ao will configure all of the speech bubbles and set the timing so you can produce a full film within minutes. 7. You can create videos of conversations with AI. After selecting your cast member and stage, you can define a character profile and start talking. You can start with any of our 97 built-in character profiles, including experts in many subjects, historical figures, 27 fantastic text adventures, and more, or you can create your own. These can be a lot of fun!
