Can I vibe code Synthesia?

AI avatar videos from a script — training and marketing at scale.

🔴Not reallyest. a weekend for the no-avatar version

Photorealistic talking avatars with accurate lip-sync are frontier model territory: licensed actor likenesses, voice cloning, and rendering infrastructure that took specialist teams years. A vibe-coded version means calling someone's avatar API — renting the same capability with extra steps. The honest question is whether you need an avatar at all: a screen recording with your real face, or a voiceover over slides, is buildable today and often lands better.

The one-shot prompt
Skip the avatar — build a script-to-video pipeline I own. Input: a markdown script split into sections, each with slide text or an uploaded image. Pipeline: generate voiceover per section with a TTS API (voice configurable), render slides to images (satori or headless browser), then stitch slides + audio into an MP4 with ffmpeg, with simple crossfades and a progress bar during render. Output gallery with download links. Make section timing follow the audio length automatically. Next.js + a server ffmpeg route, files in object storage.
Paste into Claude Code, Codex, or your agent of choice — then steer. Learn the moves in Prompt Engineering.
What you build

Realistically: a script-to-video tool that pairs an AI voiceover (TTS API) with slides or B-roll — no avatar, but a real automated video pipeline you own.

What you give up
  • The avatars — photorealistic presenters in 140+ languages
  • Enterprise features: brand kits, collaboration, SCORM export
  • Consistent lip-sync quality across languages
  • Legal clarity of licensed actor likenesses
Why people still pay

Companies producing training in 20 languages replace film crews and reshoots with a script edit — the ROI math is real at enterprise scale.

Actually build it

A prompt is the first move, not the whole game. Course 01 teaches you to take a prompt like this one to a shipped, working app — reviewing, correcting, and steering the agent the whole way.
