VideoScribe

Avantages

Their templates are cool, the designs are pretty neat; the animations are quite smooth, and the design elements are elegant. There are also plenty of hand options to do the whiteboard animations. Its pricing is quite premium when compared to other similar tools, but the quality of its output is premium too! So, I'd say it's worth paying. I have been (paying and) using it for almost a year now.

Inconvénients

1. They once used to have a lifetime license. But unfortunately that's discontinued. That's just my pet-peeve. 2. product-wise, one thing I find annoying is that it's damn slow in rendering the output video. This takes a long time!3. Also, the design elements sometimes seem repetitive - there could be more variations, but again, that's just me.4. It'd also be great if it also offers mp4 output. We get MOV, AVI, WMV and a few other picture formats, but not MP4.5. Finally, I believe the UI could have a plenty of improvements - it's rather un-intuitive and not so friendly.

Avantages

What truly impresses me about VideoScribe is its ability to transform my instructional materials into engaging, whiteboard-style animations. This format resonates exceptionally well with adult learners, making it easier for them to grasp and retain information. The animations are smooth, and the final videos look incredibly polished.

Inconvénients

The library of customizable images and animations could be more extensive. Sometimes when I'm explaining complex concepts I have a hard time finding the perfect visual elements to enhance my content. However, the ability to import my own media is very helpful.

Avantages

It was easy until I started to get deep and notice that it's easy only for beginners

Inconvénients

Customer service was awful on replying to refund of a payment happened minutes ago. They talk like robots they don't wanna keep their client. Refund process is never gonna happen even if you didn't use the program for more than 20 days and my card paid the next month without me noticing it. I asked for a refund as I didn't use it for 20 days they said that after using 7 days trail (which I didn't use) I should be happy with their service and not ask for a refund.

Avantages

I absolutely love Videoscribe. It's so easy to use and very quick to create impressive 'scribble-style' videos. The asset library is vast and there's even the option to upload your own SVGs if you have the appetite to create them.

Inconvénients

It can sometimes be hard to find the assets you want because there are so many of them, and the search function is a bit basic.

Avantages

The small feature set within VideoScribe means it's pretty easy to get started; there are not a ton of functions to learn how to use, it's more about learning how to use the small set of tools creatively to do all the different things you'd like to be able to do in your video. You can very quickly get up to speed and create a lot of video content without needing to know how to animate things or draw very well.

Inconvénients

I wish there was a better drawing tool within VideoScribe. It is essentially a collection of clip-art. For instance, if you want to draw something as simple as a triangle, there is no drawing tool to make it exactly the way you want it. Instead, your options are to find a pre-drawn triangle, or put together 3 pre-drawn straight lines, or go to another program like Illustrator and draw the shape you want and save it as a .svg file. This is a simple example, but you can imagine if you want to draw something like an accurately-scaled chart or graph, etc. it's much more complicated than you'd expect.It would also be convenient if other audio file formats could be imported other than MP3.And of course more expanded image and audio libraries would be appreciated.

Avantages

From the first moment I downloaded VideoScribe I liked it a lot. I started with the trial version and immediately bought the annual membership. There are many things that I like about VideoScribe, for example, it is very easy to use, in a few minutes I had already created my first video. I like your image library, it contains many cartoons, they are quite colorful and very well designed. The music library is also excellent, as it has songs of various genres and rhythms. I love the fact that I can export the video already created in high quality Full HD 1080p and in various video formats.

Inconvénients

Although VideoScribe is quite good, over the years I have realized that essential features are missing. First, I would like you to have the option to record the video in mp4 format, it would also be good if you could create a video with Instagram frame measurements, since today that social network is very popular. Second, it would be ideal that from time to time they added more cartoons to the image library, that way we would have more variety when making the videos.

Avantages

1)Easy and intuitive design for quick learning

2) Free images from the library are useful to draw ideas into stories

3) Handwriting effect gives a feel of constant engagement on screen

4) Drag and drop feature helps in creating videos quickly

Inconvénients

1) The library of images, vectors or templates are not exhaustive. It should be updated periodically
2) When working on the canvas you have to constantly zoom in and out to resize the graphics
3) Rendering of videos should be more faster as compared to other products in the market
4) There should be more output options while publishing the videos

Avantages

This software is easy to use and does not require a huge amount of processing power to complete animations.

Inconvénients

THE BUGS! There are so many bugs with this software that have not been fixed and may never be fixed. It seems like the team that developed this program has completely moved on to sparkols next program and are no longer providing technical support for this one. You cannot rotate the screen, you cannot run wav files in the audio, you cannot animate more than one item at the same time and oh boy you better watch out, if you have too many elements in the frame, some of them WONT SHOW UP. After about 1 hour of use these little bugs will start to rear their ugly heads and after a while you'll realize there are so many of them that degrade the quality of your final product you'll want to throw your computer at the wall. Overall this program is like a subpar employee that many little mistakes over time but provides a lot of value to your company that you fear you won't be able to find anywhere else so you cannot fire it.

Avantages

This is a very friendly software I ever used to create academic videos.
What I love about this;
1- Text animations, colors, and options of handwriting
2- Default shapes and option to import your own images to presentations
3- Variety of background audios
4- Voice Narrations
5- creat output of your own video format or presentation
6- Infinity storage organized with folder options

Inconvénients

I found that this tool is sound perfect without any flaws

Avantages

In Videoscribe you can get properly required or necessary features to create doodle videos. It has very simple and clear interface. Options to include doodle sketches or images are good. Mains options in editing page such as inserting charts, texts, Audio, images and voise recording are good.

Inconvénients

I would have liked it more if they had included more advanced features. For me the interface was clear and simple, but not that attractive.

adquiri un mini curso para crear videos animados que promovieran reflexiones y texto para ayuda en marketing, y video Scribe fue la aplicación que me presentaron y con ella me enseñaron.

Inconvénients

la aplicación gratuita vence en 7 dias, quice comprarla pero ahora adquiri la aplicación de doodle maker, espero que pueda utilizarla y me sea mejor que video scribe para atraer visitas

Avantages

This one is super flexible software , can customized everything and there is very easy learning curve.

Only challenge was creating vertical videos, but on new version of online app it is very easy to set up vertical videos. i hope they bring it to offline standalone app also. would love to work offline

Avantages

It's is very easy to use because it has drag & drop option. Also i like for the morph option. That is help me to get rid of many projects. Also I like the time alignment system. It is very easy to use.

Inconvénients

There isn't a option to type words while drawing. That is the main problem that I have faced.

Avantages

Con VideoScribe es posible crear videos animados de forma muy rápida, basta con arrastrar y soltar los elementos que deseas que aparezcan en la linea de tiempo. Además cuenta con muchas plantillas, imagenes y elementos con los que puedes dejar lvolar tu creatividad. Sus versiones de escritorio y navegador son por iguales de increíbles y no toma mucho tiempo acostumbrarse a su interfaz.

Inconvénients

El software va bien aunque se agradecería que tuvieran una mayor cantidad de formatos de exportación basados en las redes sociales.

Avantages

VideoScribe es una herramienta para creación de videos animados tipo pizarra muy fácil de usar, me gusta poder contar con muchos elemntos para añadir a los videos entre otras funcionalidades que lo hacen una opción muy interesante. Básicamente lo uso para realizar videos enfocados a la capacitación del personal de la empresa y los resultados son muy buenos.

Inconvénients

Llevo mucho tiempo usando VideoScribe y no he tenido problemas, cumple con mis requerimientos para la creación audiovisual.

Avantages

It does what it says at face value: build a whiteboard drawing video.
Its linear "timeline bar" at the bottom reminds me of Camtasia. Therefore, for Camtasia users (or other popular video editing software users) we'd immediately understand what its interface intends to do.
It comes with some built-in cliparts and media assets.
It also has some custom options for hands, easels, etc. if you want some variety in your whiteboard video.

Inconvénients

Simply put, it has poor UI. If you want to examine my geeky-sounding rationale, read on.
Rationale: Although its "camtasia-like" interface makes it quick to pick up for video-editing veterans, it's also what makes this software hard to use. This is because for whiteboard cartoons, there are just way too many moving parts. Adopting this UI makes navigating through the different parts very awkward and vulnerable to system/RAM lags. You can try to drag one small part.
Moreover, compared to most software tools out there today, VideoScribe has paled in comparison in terms of # of features, media assets, etc.

Avantages

Hay muchas funciones de este software de animación que me gustan como las plantillas prediseñadas y la biblioteca de imágenes y caricaturas, listas para usar. También tienes la posibilidad de agregar tus propias ilustraciones.Pienso que es una herramienta a la que le puedes sacar mucho provecho si ofreces servicios de creación de videos explicativos para empresas. Tendrás resultados muy buenos.Tienes la opción de probar la versión gratuita y ver si la sigues usando con un plan de pago.

Inconvénients

La interfaz de usuario no es muy intuitiva, esto podría dar problemas a personas que no estén familiarizadas con este tipo de software de animación.

Avantages

The software is simple to use to an extent.

Inconvénients

- The customer service team were extremely arrogant and rude when cancelling.
- Many features required to make a meaningful video are missing, additional editing software was needed to turn any project into an acceptable video.
- Far too many freezes or glitches caused the program to crash, make sure to save very regularly.
- Additional graphics are extortionate, the lower initial price undercuts competitors but it's not worth it for the basic library and lack of features.

Avantages

O VideoScribe tem muitos recursos para Criações de vídeos no formato de Quadro Branco estilo mão desenhando. Com ele conseguimos fazer vídeos explicativos de muita qualidade e muito pedido pelos nossos clientes.

Inconvénients

O ruim no VideoScribe é a demora na exportação. Outro detalhe que ele não é muito autodidata. Você precisa ter um bom domínio do programa pra conseguir fazer um bom trabalho.

Avantages

Gosto demais da possibilidade de criar vídeos extremamente dinâmicos com ele, usei para apresentar meu TCC da faculdade e a explicação ficou muito mais dinâmica e objetiva.

Inconvénients

Tem poucos templates prontos para inspirar os usuários.

Avantages

I love that with VideoScribe you're not restricted by anything. It's like having the power of a moving mind map in that you can create your video by drawing on a canvas and choosing how you want it to appear, flow and zoom in and out so you can be really creative and emphasise different points. People have gone out of their way to ask what I've created my videos in as a result.

Inconvénients

There really isn't anything I don't like about VideoScribe.

Avantages

I liked the ease of use, quality, picture and audio

Inconvénients

Merge images with larger areas and preparation

Avantages

Its easy to use, good for beginners, has a lot of tutorials online for how to use it, great support library and most of all, it has doodly libraries which just make my work a whole lot easier

Inconvénients

the only thing i dont like is the videoScribe background image on the rendered video in the trial version but when you buy it, everything is just smooth sailing

Avantages

I enjoy seeing my ideas come to life in videoscribes. There are many images in the library and you can use your own images, too. I like that you can add variety to how the images are drawn onscreen--use pens, markers, hands, or just have the images slide in or get 'drawn' on their own.

Inconvénients

The learning curve may be higher than other tools but the results are worth the effort.
