The visual model is driven by speech. Text-to-speech, script drafting and voice choice are separate pipeline stages; this does not establish native language reasoning.
Avatar IDs, voice IDs and component labels are not public immutable model checkpoint selectors.
Access
Hosted Synthesia video creation. Select an eligible avatar in the account; available identities and features depend on plan and rollout. No public immutable checkpoint selector.
Regions
AWS public-cloud hosting; no model-specific regional processing guarantee established.
Billing scope
Video creation consumes credits for new avatar footage. Provider estimates about 100 credits for a typical finished minute, varying with avatar screen time and generated assets. This is not a fixed model-specific per-minute tariff.Source for Billing scope (opens in a new tab)
regeneration
Editing and previewing do not consume generation credits. Only newly generated footage is charged on regeneration; this is not a token-cache contract.Source for regeneration (opens in a new tab)
background
Transparent backgrounds supported by current stock-avatar guide. Hand gestures are not supported in that stock-avatar product.Source for background (opens in a new tab)
Endpoint pricing has not been collected. Check the provider for applicable rates.
Data & enterprise terms
Hosted on AWS. Customer data deletion is described as taking up to 90 days, with residual backups subject to their lifecycle. Service-improvement terms permit usage analysis within specified customer-instruction and consent restrictions; this is not a universal no-training or zero-retention promise.
Avatar IDs, voice IDs and component labels are not public immutable model checkpoint selectors.
Access
POST https://api.synthesia.io/v2/videos. Select an eligible avatar ID, provide scriptText or uploaded scriptAudio plus scriptLanguage, and retrieve the asynchronous video result. API entitlement required.
Regions
AWS public-cloud hosting; no model-specific regional processing guarantee established.
catalog
17 avatar rows carry this version label in the reviewed catalog. Identities and camera/costume variants are not distinct models.Source for catalog (opens in a new tab)
Set input[].avatarSettings.voice explicitly for a reproducible voice choice. Uploaded audio requires scriptLanguage; the selected speech provider is separate from the avatar renderer.Source for voiceSelection (opens in a new tab)
Circular, rectangular and voiceOnly styles; horizontal alignment and scaling. Vertical alignment is fixed to bottom. Input clips form scenes, not a separate batch-inference discount.Source for composition (opens in a new tab)
seamless
Seamless rendering is limited to anna_costume1_cameraA and mia_costume1_cameraA, with a static background and lower quality. Do not assume all avatars support it.Source for seamless (opens in a new tab)
Billing scope
From October 1, 2026, API video generation is listed at 160 credits per minute, distinct from approximate studio video metering. Shared account credits and API entitlement apply.Source for Billing scope (opens in a new tab)

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.
01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain
The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.
02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state
Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.
03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate
Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say
No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.
Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.
The record behind the model
Why it is included
Synthesia identifies this named model in its proprietary research or product materials. No public model weights or permissive weight license are established; open client code does not expose the serving model.
