Options for Video Generation

Yepic, so far, is the best option in having a nice API with a simple price structure. 2023-08-22 UPDATE - Switching from ELAI to D-ID as they have a really good API and Pricing now.

These options are at 2023-05:

1. https://www.synthesia.io/ (seems to have an API - Looking)
   1. $US30 per month for 10 minutes.
2. https://elai.io/getting-started-with-api
   1. API Available in Trial. Plenty of API Documentation.
   2. $US29 per month for 15 minutes. Base plan.
   3. $US1.93 (monthly) per minute of render. Ouch.
   4. API is simple, but its complex if you ONLY want a talking head. Need to hack a template with only an avatar, then call the render video.
   5. 2023-05-15 Appears as if you need to mark the Video Public to download it. I guess its a unique code and the video can be deleted after…
3. https://new.synthesys.io/api-synthesys/ (No Pricing)
4. https://www.deepbrain.io/aihuman
   1. $US30 per month for 10 minutes
   2. $US225 per month for API Access
   3. https://docs.deepbrain.io/aistudios/getting-started
5. https://www.yepic.ai/pricing
   1. $79 Pounds for 100 minutes
   2. https://www.yepic.ai/api
      1. Scalable pricing from $0.25 per video minute
      2. https://docs.yepic.ai/docs/create-a-video-clip-with-multiple-slides
6. https://www.d-id.com/pricing/
   1. $50 for 15 minutes $3.30 per minute

Code Output

Code output with elai.io - Generating a talking head with text input.

Need

If I design an LMS with Images, Text, Menu and Avatar as separate boxes on the screen, rather than encoded into a video, then I don’t need to encode everything each time. There is a benefit to playing a single video file, but that means making the template work. By only encoding the Avatar, then only text is needed to the API and a 1:1 video file to be returned.

Video Pros

• Easy to share and can run on any device. its simply a video that can be played on a TV, Laptop, iPad or Phone.

Video Negs

• For text heavy training, it would be more work to make sure the text fits the template and changes at the right time.
• The Avatar may be in the wrong spot and cover video or other images on screen.
