Case Study: Bolton College reduces video production time by 80% with Synthesia

How to reduce video production time by 80%

Bolton College, a further education college in the UK serving over 10,000 learners with a small ILT & LRC team, needed a faster way to create training and learning videos. Traditional filming was time-consuming, required staff to appear on camera, and made updates difficult, with one short video often taking at least a week to produce.

Using Synthesia’s AI video platform, Bolton College streamlined production by turning scripts into videos with avatars, animations, text, and screen recordings. With Synthesia, the college cut production time for a 10-minute video from 3 days to 30 minutes, achieved up to 80% time savings, and added 400+ videos to its online learning library within a year.
