Forrest McFeeters - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-install tool that is useful for creating instructional designs for training courses
In Synthesia, there are plenty of areas where improvements are required. The main area of concern in Synthesia stems from its ability to add multiple elements onto a timeline, an area where I feel the product lacks in terms of its intuitiveness and user experience, and I had even complained to the company after it became nonfunctional. Though Synthesia made some changes to get the product working, it still is not as seamless as some other timeline-based non-linear editing software I have used. I would like to see better use of audio in Synthesia. I think Synthesia's audio component could be drastically improved. There is room for improvement on how the audio part is integrated into a project and how it is manipulated and edited, along with how the volume and placement of the timeline are edited. Once a video is created, that process is kind of convoluted. I think there should be an easier way to determine whether your video is done and, if it needs to be corrected, how to correct it since these areas are not very intuitive. There's not a whole lot of direction available anywhere on how to do things well on the platform.
