Latest AI Features Allow for Any Video Element to be Created in a Click

SAN MATEO, Calif. – Oct. 25, 2023 – Vyond today announced the new release of its award-winning video creation platform. This release brings the power of generative AI inside Vyond, in existing workflows, where and when it is needed the most. Now, any video element imaginable is available at the click of a button.

“Businesses destroy value every day by communicating poorly,” said CEO Gary Lipkowitz. “With this release, we’ve essentially made our content library infinite. For our customers, this means finding relevant content is both fast and easy. And this translates into tremendous bottom-line value through better communication which is actually retained.”

Vyond customers are experiencing a 400% increase in employee productivity, savings of up to $1M in content creation costs, and up to an 80% increase in content engagement.

Infinite Possibilities for Relevant and Engaging Communications

Vyond’s new AI features allow customers to go from vision to video in seconds. With Video to Action, users can generate a custom character action by simply shooting a video (even with a smartphone) and sending it to Vyond. Text to Prop lets users instantly generate video props from text prompts on demand. 

Vyond customer Rance Greene, who is a storytelling expert and author of Instructional Story Design, said “The characters in my stories need to be good actors. Realistic movement. Genuine emotions. With Vyond’s Video to Action, I can create an endless library of customized actions that bring my stories to life. Now, I’m really in the director’s chair.”

Vyond now also includes access to over three million images and video clips via a new integration with Shutterstock, and dozens of realistic and expressive voices through an integration with WellSaid Labs. Vyond Go, the AI-powered script and video creation tool introduced earlier this year, now includes support for more than 70 languages.

Improving Accessibility

Addressing customers’ top request for new functionality, Vyond users can now make their videos more accessible. The new release includes Open Captioning in which captions and subtitles can be burned directly into the video. Closed Captioning is extended to include audio transcription and SRT/VTT export.

Vyond is used by 65% of the Fortune 500 to communicate better. While the new release announced today helps make AI work for everyone, Vyond is widely used by training, learning and development, sales enablement, and internal communications teams to increase the relevance, engagement, and effectiveness of their communications.

Patrick Jocelyn, CEO of Omniplex Learning, which is Vyond’s strategic reseller in the United Kingdom, said “Vyond has been a long-time leader in innovative applications of  AI in its product that help companies create engaging and dynamic video. Now imagine being able to develop even more relevant content for the modern learner in every industry, every scenario, every audience. That’s what Vyond has done with this new release. This is a huge step ahead.”

SAN MATEO, Calif. – Dec. 20, 2022 – The close of 2022 marks the most successful year in the history of Vyond, the leader in intelligent video creation software. The company has achieved strong customer growth across key enterprise use cases, including learning and development, sales enablement, and internal communications.

Customers are embracing Vyond because it allows them to deliver mission-critical employee training and HR, sales, and marketing information in an unusually engaging, cost-efficient, and scalable way. The company added 400,000 new users to its roster this year; expanded its footprint in industries like banking and finance; and boosted its seat license count in high-growth sectors like software, healthcare, biotech, and pharmaceuticals.

Over the past five years, Vyond’s customer satisfaction scores (CSAT) have averaged an industry-leading 94%. This year, Vyond exceeded that average–and its lofty internal goals–averaging customer satisfaction scores between 97% and 99% throughout the year. 

Vyond also achieved an outstanding Net Promoter Score (NPS) in 2022, earning a rating of 63, far exceeding industry average scores of around 30.

DEVLEARN, LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Oct. 26, 2022 – Vyond, the leader in intelligent video creation for enterprises, today announced the Fall Release of its award-winning Vyond Studio. By pairing its unmatched content library with Artificial Intelligence (AI), Vyond has made it faster and easier to create relevant videos for business-critical eLearning, HR, Internal Communications, Sales, and Marketing communications. Using Vyond, enterprise customers create professional videos 10X faster and at scale, achieving a 130% uplift in engagement, while doing so 10X more cost efficiently when compared to costly legacy video production using agencies.

“Leaders in Training, HR, Marketing, Sales – and across the enterprise – know that video is essential for communicating with employees, customers, and prospects. But scaling video creation across the organization is hard,” said Vyond CEO Gary Lipkowitz. “Unfortunately, companies often fall short in creating content that lands with today’s overwhelmed stakeholders. But with Vyond’s new AI-powered capabilities, we’re making the creation of relevant, powerful videos much more accessible and easy for business users, without sacrificing our commitment to enterprise-grade brand compliance and information security.”  

The New Release of Vyond Studio: Unmatched Relevance, Speed, and Power

The Fall Release of Vyond Studio extends the strength of the company’s enterprise video creation software – relevance, speed, and power. With the 2022 Fall Release, users can now import SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files directly into their library. Vyond has added hundreds of new advanced charts, characters, and actions – along with new scene and video templates representing a wide range of industries, occupations, concepts, and seasonal topics.

Review, collaboration, and feedback cycles have also been shortened, through the text export/import feature. Customers can now quickly export the text from a Vyond video, make changes, and import the new text – without the text reviewer needing a seat license on Vyond.

What’s more, the Vyond 2022 Fall Release also incorporates more AI-powered features into Vyond Studio. Users will experience up to 10x improvements in speed and efficiency with the ability to instantly create characters, localize videos into 71 languages, and find props faster. 

• Photo-to-Character: Upload an existing photo or snap & send from your mobile device, and VyondAI will automatically generate a character. That character can then be used as-is, or easily edited further. 
• Instant Video Translation: Any text in a video, whether on-screen text, voiceover narration, or character dialog, regardless of how it was created, can be instantly translated into a wide range of languages. This eliminates the need for tedious global translation and updates. 
• PowerPoint Video Creator: Quickly convert static slide-based content into dynamic video assets. Import your slides or deck into Vyond, and Vyond’s AI handles the rest.  

Robust security, advanced brand control capabilities, and a responsive interface make Vyond powerful enough for even the largest organizations. Vyond’s Fall Release addresses key concerns of Marketing and Internal Communications teams with new brand management features that allow brand leaders to create, share and enforce brand guidelines across teams creating videos with Vyond. Team admins can create and share branded templates using only approved fonts, logos, characters, and props. A new notes panel makes it easy to collaborate with anyone with whom a video is shared.

Vyond in Action: Zoetis Animal Health

Zoetis (NYSE: ZTS), the world’s largest producer of medicine and vaccinations for pets and livestock, uses Vyond for intelligent video creation. Michael Peters, L&D Sales Tools Lead, and his team at Zoetis create sales enablement videos with Vyond to onboard their salespeople on Salesforce, Tableau, and other critical sales technologies.
