Ready to meet the new faces of Vyond? Excellent, because we’re super excited to show them to you! We’re talking, of course, about our brand new, best-in-class AI avatars, courtesy of our friends at HeyGen – providers of the highest quality avatars out there. Along with a whole bevy of new tools, integrations, and platform enhancements, they’re part of our Spring 2025 release – giving you more of everything you need in a video creation platform. 

More Avatars

Our theme this spring is, “Because video can be more,” and nothing exemplifies that thought like our huge new HeyGen offering of over 1,100 avatar options. This includes 120 unique, high quality HeyGen avatars (combined with our existing selection of Tavus avatars, you now have a diverse selection of 200+ AI avatars to choose from), plus an enormous selection of backgrounds, outfits, professions, angles, and aspect ratios. 

Vyond Avatars

More Visual Versatility

Vyond now gives you even more ways to enhance your avatars to perfectly fit your needs:

  • Custom backgrounds – Expand your options and add relevance – an office, a warehouse, a forest, a street – whatever image most suits your needs
  • Transparent backgrounds – Layer your avatar over any style or background without the need to frame it with a border
  • A dozen new presenter templates –  Drop your avatar spokesperson into one of these premade photorealistic and mixed media templates for customized communications
  • Custom avatar enhancements – Easily create your own avatar from within your Vyond workflow, and use our privacy controls to oversee and monitor usage of your avatar

These enhancements give you the ability to choose, create, and customize avatars to suit your one-of-a-kind needs. They also let you effortlessly merge your avatars with our many other styles, from photorealistic and mixed media to generative AI, animated, and dynamic charts and graphs, making it easier to create compelling, targeted videos that move the needle. 

More Creative Efficiency

By putting every tool you need at your fingertips, Vyond’s all-in-one platform reduces your tech stack, helps you more efficiently craft content, and reduces your production time and costs. And we’re always curating and innovating the best new tools to give you even more ways to effortlessly create something great. 

Vyond Tools

More Integrations

We’re helping you work smarter outside of our platform as well. New integrations with Slack, Google Docs, and Zapier now make it possible to create videos inside your favorite productivity and content apps, in the flow of work. So now you have even more pathways for creating amazing content. 

  • Slack: Use Vyond’s text to video in Slack to instantly take your concepts from prompt to screen. Learn more
  • Google Docs: Use document to video to effortlessly turn your Google doc into an engaging video. Learn more
  • Zapier: Automate your video creation workflow by pairing with 7,000+ productivity apps and tools in Zapier. Learn more.

More All-in-One

Efficiencies abound with the newest updates to our all-in-one platform, including:

Vyond Studio Updates

  • Enhanced text to speech – Now you can download your TTS to use in media, see your TTS history, and generate longer TTS segments. 
  • Easy tools access  – Quickly find the most popular video creation/editing tools on the homepage or click “View All”  for quick access to all of our tools
  • Group cropped and masked assets – If your video is asset-heavy, this will save you a lot of editing and updating time

Vyond Go Updates 

  • Attachment summary – Save what you’ve generated by getting a storyboard/preview of how Vyond Go will treat the material you’re inputting and exclude extraneous information
  • Swap character and TTS before generating – Get more customization and save editing time by changing the characters within any Vyond Go template before you generate

At Vyond, we’re constantly offering you more ways to quickly and easily create videos that get the job done. Because at Vyond, we know videos can be more.

2023 was truly a banner year for Vyond. 

This year, we brought generative AI technology into our platform that makes it quicker and easier than ever to make exactly the video content you need. We built new features and functionality in response to your top requests, including accessibility features like open and closed captioning. And we teamed up with two powerhouse partners, WellSaid and Shutterstock, to expand your creative options even further. 

At a number of conference speaking engagements this year, our CEO Gary Lipkowitz talked about a future state where creating great video content will be as easy as saying, “Vyond, make me a video.” In 2023, we took a giant step closer to making that a reality. 

Here’s a more in-depth overview of what Vyond made possible for our users this year: 

Create scripts and rough-cut videos instantly—with Vyond Go

In June we launched Vyond Go—the industry’s first AI-powered script and video creator.

Vyond Go revolutionizes the way business communications are created: now you can build professional video content from scratch, in seconds, using the power of generative AI.

The Vyond Go interface is incredibly simple. You enter a few short prompts, and choose your preferred scene and tone. Then, in a matter of seconds, Vyond Go delivers a script and an editable output that combines script, storyboard, and first-cut video all in one. Use the video as is, or make edits within Vyond Studio. And that’s it!

Bring your creative vision to life, faster—with Video to Action and Text to Prop

Text to Prop

Can’t find the exact prop you need in our content library? No problem. Now, with the fall launch of our automatic asset creator, Text to Prop, you can now generate any prop you can imagine with the click of a button—all in Vyond’s native style. 

Learn more

Video to Action

You can now automatically bring your Contemporary-style characters to life just by uploading a sample video and applying those actions to your character. This new feature is already saving video creators significant time, and enhancing their storytelling abilities by making it easier to create realistic character actions and reactions.

Learn more

Create more accessible video content 

Closed Captioning, with VTT and SRT Export

With our new Closed Captioning feature, you can make your videos accessible to the widest possible audience. Automatically transcribe your voiceover, then export TTS and audio to an SRT or VTT file for use with courseware authoring tools, an LMS, or video-hosting providers. These captions exist as a separate file and can be turned on or off.

Open Captioning

In addition to SRT/VTT file generation for closed captioning, you can now add open captioning (captions “burned” directly into the video file) directly from the Vyond workflow—no manual typing or third-party vendors required!

Enjoy the benefits of our new integrations

Shutterstock

In addition to our own ever-expanding library, Vyond customers now have access to over 3 million of Shutterstock’s library of images and videos right in the Vyond platform.

WellSaid

AI voices from WellSaid, the top AI voice platform built for the enterprise, are also now available in Vyond. A total of 66 high-quality English voices with 7 accents join Vyond’s voice library.

See how Vyond helped Enterprise customers reach their 2023 goals

As excited as we were to bring a bunch of helpful new features to market in 2023, the measure of our success as a company is ultimately whether we help fuel our customers’ success. Here’s how the L&D teams at a few big-name companies solved critical communication challenges with Vyond this year.

Whole Food Market reduced average video production time by 75%

“There’s not a day we don’t use Vyond,” said Bryan McElroy, Senior Team Lead of Change Enablement. “The ability to create something great in a day that used to take three, four, five days to complete–has been a game changer for us.”
Learn more

American Express created videos 25% faster using Vyond

“It’s much easier for me to use and has features that make the resulting videos a better quality,” said instructional designer Chuck Field. “We’re all saying, ‘this is a tool we can use more.”
Learn more

Cargill boosted engagement with their compliance content by 30-65%

“Using a tool like Vyond to present our content in a more creative and engaging way helps us maintain and enhance our relationship with employees, and we’ve been very successful in that regard,” said Christopher Annand, Director of Programs and Governance.

Keynote speakers included Organizational Psychologist Adam Grant; Vyond’s sponsored speaker, the strategic advisor Priya Parker; and Tony and Grammy Award winning artist Leslie Odom Jr. 

During her keynote, Ms. Parker hosted a dynamic event grounded in concepts about meaningful group experiences found in her book, The Art of Gathering. In this insightful, highly interactive event, Priya Parker broke down the anatomy of what makes for transformative gatherings and encouraged attendees to use some of her strategies to connect with others in real time during the session. 

Vyond highlights

CEO Gary Lipowitz talks about Applied AI for the Enterprise

Gary Lipkowitz, Vyond’s CEO, took to the ATD23 stage to deliver a presentation called Applied AI for the Enterprise: Relevance, Brand Compliance, and Safety that explained how companies can use AI to create content that’s relevant, brand compliant, and secure.

Vyond unveils its Spring 2023 Release, including Vyond Go

Thousands of attendees stopped by our booth to see what’s new with Vyond, and get a glimpse of our new AI-based script and video creator, Vyond Go in action. The response was enthusiastic, to say the least—and got us even more excited to officially launch Vyond Go at the end of June. 

Beyond Vyond Go, we showed off new Spring Release features like Global Search, new industry-specific content, Bulk Audio Edit, Closed Captioning, Instant Preview, and more.

It’s no exaggeration to say that our Spring 2023 release is the biggest, most transformative product release in Vyond’s history. 

Not only have we added many new powerful customer-requested features to Vyond Studio, our award-winning video creation platform, we’re also thrilled to announce the launch of Vyond Go, the industry’s first AI-based script and video creator.

 

What is Vyond Go? 

Vyond Go will revolutionize the way business communications are created, making it possible to create professional video content from scratch, in seconds, using the power of generative AI.

The Vyond Go interface is incredibly simple. A Vyond user enters a few short prompts, indicating the video they want. Then, in a matter of seconds, Vyond Go delivers a script and an editable output that combines script, storyboard, and first-cut video all in one. Users can use the video as is, or make edits within Vyond Studio. It’s as simple as that.

 

Vyond Go will be available to all customers midyear. Want to be the first in line to try it out? Sign up for our waitlist here!
