Prompt tips for Synthesia
Write scripts in short paragraphs (2–3 sentences max) with [pause] markers to control pacing and breathing rhythm
Use phonetic spelling for product names or industry terms the avatar mispronounces (e.g., 'Kubernetes' → 'Koo-ber-net-eez')
Structure scripts with [scene] labels matching your slide content so the avatar and visuals stay in sync
Test the first 30 seconds as a preview before rendering the full video to catch pronunciation and pacing issues early
