[Feedback on Video Craft] Q1. What challenges led to the consideration of Video Craft? We previously recorded audio over PowerPoint presentations for training videos, which was burdensome due to the need for frequent re-recordings. Additionally, re-recording whenever laws were amended was a burden, so we sought a tool that allowed for easy, minor corrections.

Q2. What were the deciding factors compared to other options? - It produces natural-sounding audio close to human speech. - It allows for precise editing of images and audio (e.g., manually adjusting intonation for individual words).

Q3. What have you found beneficial or convenient about using Video Craft? - It feels like working in PowerPoint. - It has a glossary feature to register the pronunciation and intonation of technical terms.

[About Video Craft] Video Craft is a service that utilizes AI technology to enable anyone to easily create high-quality videos. Users can upload PowerPoint or PDF materials, combine them with natural, fluent Japanese AI voice narrations or avatars, and create high-quality videos without specialized knowledge.

Intuitive operation is a key feature. It handles similarly to creating PowerPoint slides, making it smooth even for those inexperienced in editing.

It covers a wide range of corporate use cases including training, e-learning materials, corporate PR, recruitment videos, and internal introductions. It significantly reduces the cost and time associated with traditional video production, supporting corporate DX initiatives and the internalization of content.

It is highly recommended for those looking to produce multilingual versions. By creating a Japanese file, users can translate the text and narration into 51 languages with a single click, providing appropriate content to overseas clients, non-native staff, and global branch employees.
