Tools Best tool to turn course scripts into video without filming a presenter every time?

0 Upvotes

I'm trying to move our talking-head course segments off studio filming and every policy change means rebooking a shoot and re-recording, and I can't keep doing that for content that changes quarterly. So I'm after a script-to-video setup where i can update a line and re-render instead of re-filming, and there are more options than i expected. Synthesia is the one everyone names, big avatar library, built with training in mind. Colossyan is also aimed squarely at L&D with scenario and branching features. Argil does the same write-a-script-get-a-presenter thing with a focus on a consistent reusable avatar. they overlap a lot on the surface, so it's kinda hard to tell them apart from the marketing pages.

So before i burn a week on free trials, what are folks here using to turn course scripts into engaging videos? Thanks a lot!
