Video Overview page

Once you generate a video at least once, you can access the video overview page by clicking on the video from your Workspace, My videos , or Shared with me.

On this page you can:

• See the different generated versions of your video.
• Open the video in the editor to make further changes.
• View the video analytics.
• Invite collaborators to view, edit, and/or comment on the video.
• Publish your video.
• Change the title and description of the video.
• Comment on the video and see pre-existing comments.

Publishing

In order to share your video with your audience, you will need to publish it.

Publishing your video will create a shareable link and embed code for your video, as well as enable the option to export a SCORM package to upload to your LMS.

👍

By default, published videos are not discoverable via search engines.

The link to the share page is publicly accessible, but not publicly discoverable. This means that in order for someone to access a published video, they will have to have the video link shared with them directly.

To publish your video:

1. Click the Publish button in the upper right corner of the video overview page.
2. Click the Create link button.

🚧

If you unpublish a video, it won't be available for viewing from the video link or any embeds.

This means that neither the video link, nor any embeds using the embed code provided, nor videos embedded in your LMS via a SCORM package upload will be accessible by your viewers.

To make it viewable, publish your video again.

Sharing

There are three ways that you can share a published video with the Synthesia video player:

Embed

Add a Synthesia video to your website or blog by embedding it.

From the publishing options:

1. Click the Copy embed code button at the bottom of the publishing options menu to copy the HTML code.
2. Paste the code into the HTML of your website.

SCORM

📘

SCORM export is an Enterprise Plan feature.

To export a SCORM package:

1. Select an export version:
   1. SCORM 1.2
   2. SCORM 2004
2. Specify the percentage of the video that your learners need to watch in order to mark the video as completed for them in your LMS. Either drag the slider or edit the text in the text field to set the completion criteria.
3. Click Export SCORM to download the .zip file.

👍

When you add a Synthesia video to your LMS by uploading a SCORM package, the Synthesia video player will be embedded in your LMS.

Since the video will be added to your lesson as an embed, your learners will have access to all of the features included with Synthesia's video player, such as chapters and access to any translations you've published.

Plus, the file size will be under 100KB since the SCORM package adds an embed of your video hosted by Synthesia instead of including the .mp4 file.

Embed video

Add a Synthesia video to your website or blog by embedding it.

From the publishing options:

1. Click the Copy embed code button at the bottom of the publishing options menu to copy the HTML code.
2. Paste the code into the HTML of your website.

Video page options

There are three options for the video's share page (disabled by default):

Here's what the video's share page will look like with both video duplication and the call-to-action button enabled:

Video Thumbnail

Hover over the thumbnail and click the Copy thumnail button. An animated GIF thumbnail will be copied to your clipboard.

When pasted in your emails, blog posts, articles, and elsewhere, the copied GIF will act as a clickable link to the video's Share page.

👍

Static and animated GIF thumbnails for your video can be downloaded via Synthesia's API.

Video Analytics

After you've published a generated video, you'll have access to video analytics from the Overview page:

Click on the Analytics button at the top of the page to access a dedicated modal for Video Analytics data for a given version of a video.

For each version of the video, you can obtain data from either the lifetime of the version, or from over last 30 days.

Metrics

Select a metric by clicking on it to visualize it as a line chart. You can display the data for a given metric in daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly intervals.

📌

Note:

Video Analytics are only available for videos shared via Synthesia's video player. This includes videos shared via embeds, SCORM packages, and the video's share page link. Synthesia's Video Analytics are not available for video content that has been downloaded as an .mp4 and uploaded into another platform.

More actions

Click on the three dots in the top right corner of the video overview page to access the More actions menu.

From this menu, you'll be able to:

• Open the location (folder) that the video is in
• Move the video to another workspace or folder
• Download the video, audio, captions, and XLIFF data
• Duplicate the video
• Translate the video
• Generate Youtube codes
• Save the video as a template
• Remove the video

Download

🚧

If you've added music from Soundstripe to any of your scenes and plan to upload your video to Youtube, you'll need to generate Youtube codes for your video.

You have three options for downloading your video content:

Duplicate

Duplicating a video will create a private copy of it in the My videos section.

Translate

Select the Translate option to select languages to translate your video into and start the video translation process.

Generate YouTube codes

YouTube codes prove that you have the right to use stock music from Soundstripe in your video.

If you've created a video using stock music from Soundstripe and plan to upload your video to YouTube, be sure to generate YouTube codes for the music you've used and add them to your YouTube video's description in order to avoid copyright issues with your video:

1. Click Copy codes
2. Add the codes to your YouTube video's description in the following format:
   Code: 1YIF7UEMH95ICLKR, XGUK7Z9KN80CCFJY

See How do I use YouTube codes? to learn more.

Save as template

Clicking Save as template will create a copy of the current video as a template. You'll be redirected to the editor, where you can edit the newly-created template and publish it to your custom template library to use for future videos.

Remove

Put the video in the Trash.
