For tables, cells and rows will resize based on the content changing.
Speaker notes are imported as the script for your video.
Fonts are detected automatically. For any missing fonts, you can either choose a replacement or upload the original files to preserve the design.
Automatic script creation - when Synthesia encounters a slide without speaker notes, it will automatically create a script for that scene based on the text content within the slide.
Automatic resizing - Synthesia automatically converts 4:3 PPTX files into 16x9 format on import
