Synthesia alternative

The Synthesia alternative for real product video - no avatar required

If you're comparing Synthesia alternatives, you likely want to show your real product, not a presenter avatar. Velo is the video layer for work: it records your screen and turns a recording, a URL, or your own knowledge into finished, narrated video - accurate to what your users actually see.

In short

Velo is an AI video platform teams use as a Synthesia alternative. Where Synthesia builds videos around an AI avatar, Velo shows your actual product - it records your screen, generates video from a URL or your docs, narrates in your own voice, translates it, and turns each video into a written guide, priced per account.
