CF Cal F. Employee Success Consultant Hospital & Health Care Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/13/2019 "What a great tool for creating high quality animation quickly!" 5/5 What do you like best about VideoScribe? It’s so easy to create something that really impresses stakeholders and the audience. Every time I use it, I get really positive feedback on how professional the end result is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about VideoScribe? It’s slow. It can be really slow, I’ve done some research and it seems this is common among users. It’s inconsistent in when it chooses to go slow. Doesnt crash, which is good, but often can hang up on tasks for a few minutes at a time, which can make the build process more time consuming than it needs to be and quite frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering VideoScribe: It’s great and I would recommend it for the features and the quality of the end product. Doesn’t take long to learn and get up and running, but do expect a few niggles here and there with speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is VideoScribe solving and how is that benefiting you? Developing into graphics for training videos. Welcome messages for new employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Senior Account Executive Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/26/2019 "This animation and video editing solution has been easy to use" 5/5 What do you like best about VideoScribe? The type of animations that VideoScribe can generate right at the point of signing up are as good as many animations I've taken days to create in other software. The drawing animation look that VideoScribe can create is engaging and helps to move people's attention along with the video presentation. The simple in and out movement animations is also very effective in helping to keep viewers following along. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about VideoScribe? I don't like the pricing and having to log into the platform in order to use it. I would rather be able to download an application package and be able to use it indefinitely with future updates I can pay for as needed. The file types are somewhat limited and there aren't as many advanced layering options that would allow me to further edit the clips with advanced effects in other video editor software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering VideoScribe: Though creating videos quickly can be a big draw for VideoScribe, I think the quality of the animations is superior to many other standard video editors, so you could create great videos that are much higher quality regardless of your technical background with video editing in general. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is VideoScribe solving and how is that benefiting you? Being able to create animated video quickly in VideoScribe is a big deal and helps us to create content fast for meetings and exhibitions. I think the quality of the animations is also something that is great since it would be hard to create them in standard video editors, even if we have an unlimited time to create them.

Account Coordinator Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/6/2019 "High quality animation solution for that can improve business and marketing content" 4/5 What do you like best about VideoScribe? The way the control panel is designed makes it simple for me to use. I don't have to look through tons of different tools as I would in common video editing software. Many of the tools in VideoScribe have instructions next to them that clearly point out what the effect does. We can simply enter an effect and how long we want it to last. It's as if the software were designed so that anyone that use it. To make animations play, we don't have to add coordinates or draw line maps. The software can figure out where the hand icon goes based on the vector information in the imported graphics or fonts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about VideoScribe? I don't like the freehand nature of some of the view settings and object placement. I would prefer to be able to snap objects into place and create consistent view configurations. That would allow me to have smoother transitions when working with design stages from two or more different VideoScribe presentation files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering VideoScribe: Though I consider the VideoScribe platform to be easy to use, it might be a little rough to know how to get started if you have never had any type of media editing experience. I would suggest trying to just type out some text and working on animating it first and then moving on to images once you have the timing down for text elements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is VideoScribe solving and how is that benefiting you? I have primarily used VideoScribe to create animated effects in videos for social media posts and business presentations. I will occasionally create full presentations with the platform, but I mostly add short clips to video projects created in a different editing application. I think the VideoScribe clips help to give my videos an added boost when exploring certain topics and making certain points. The clips usually grab people's attention more than basic text and photo displays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FB Franklin B. Sales and Marketing Specialist Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/18/2019 "The most complete whiteboard video program" 4/5 What do you like best about VideoScribe? Videoscribe is an excellent program to make whiteboard videos. Very easy to use, in a matter of 2 hours you can already have a whiteboard video There are a lot of images in the library that I can choose from. There is also a variety of music that you can select for the videos. You can record the video in full HD and it has several formats to choose from. I also like that you can select the hand that you write in the video, there is even a baby's hand. I think it's great that I can export images and use them in videoscribe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about VideoScribe? They are several things. First, that the cartoons do not move, they are static. I also wish there were more images. There are premium images that videoscribe sells, but they are very expensive. It would also be excellent to sell a package of caricatures at a good price ... And another thing that I can not let go is that it would be excellent to put the mp4 format when recording the videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering VideoScribe: If I recommend it to other people because it is very easy to use, and has good tools (music, cartoons and paper design), you can also make a whiteboard video quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is VideoScribe solving and how is that benefiting you? It has helped me to explain things in a funny way through whiteboard videos. It's good because the person instead of reading a simple paragraph can watch the video in an entertaining way. Thanks to videoscribe, I can advertise my products and services in a way that appeals to customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SEO and Content Executive Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/28/2019 "Amazing explainer video software" 5/5 What do you like best about VideoScribe? The ease-of-use was quite literally jaw-dropping for our marketing team; we were amazed at how quick, simple and intuitive the software is, and we produced high-quality explainer videos in no time at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about VideoScribe? I honestly can't think of any downsides - the software is fantastic and great value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering VideoScribe: Superb value for in-house marketing teams. Annual licenses are infinitely better value than outsourcing video content, and even the most inexperienced video editor will be able to get produce high-quality explainers in no time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is VideoScribe solving and how is that benefiting you? The extensive library of images allows us to create high-quality video content quickly and easily, meaning we don't have to outsource video production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Producer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/23/2019 "Packs solid and useful effects for business presentations" 4/5 What do you like best about VideoScribe? The intuitive nature of the VideoScribe animations tools are what I like the most. I don't need to perform typical timeline key animations or apply complicated movement paths to every single animated element. I can simply drag elements around to change position or resize them. VideoScribe has a decent amount of customization options that help to make our whiteboard videos stand out from others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about VideoScribe? Though it is possible to customize our videos with a good amount of depth, doing so may require a sizeable amount of creativity to look different than the standard hand-drawn animated whiteboard video. To get more advanced customizations may require exporting VideoScribe video clips into other video editing software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering VideoScribe: I would recommend VideoScribe more for adding an extra punch to existing video content. With the right creative team though, I think it can still be highly effective as a standalone presentation creation application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is VideoScribe solving and how is that benefiting you? We can use VideoScribe to create, or at least get a good start on, business presentation videos that we can use online or for in-person meetings. The way the basic animations are presented helps viewers to follow along with the content and pay attention more, in my opinion, compared to standard still slide show presentations.

Sales and Marketing Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/6/2019 "A simple tool for creating engaging videos" 4/5 What do you like best about VideoScribe? VideoScribe has a very user-friendly interface with controls that a novice video editor can feel comfortable using. Unlike many standard video editors, there aren't a ton of knobs, dials and sliders to adjust all soft of different settings. VideoScribe mostly keeps it simple with intuitive drag-and-drop functions that allow us to place and move objects around the editing stage as we would if they were pieces of paper on a table in front of us. About the animations from VideoScribe, I like the text writing effect the most. I think it's very smooth and lifelike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about VideoScribe? I don't like that we can snap video assets into place. I'd like to be able to align items precisely, which would help when I need to match items from videos created in other software. When items aren't matched correctly, merging the VideoScribe files with other video files will be difficult to do smoothly. We'll often notice small position jumps where the off items are located. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering VideoScribe: If you'd like to create more engaging videos without spending too much time laboring over edits, then VideoScribe is a great choice. You should note that the timeline isn't like standard editors where you can see the time notches and adjust clips accordingly. The duration of the clips are controlled numerically, which can be hard to manage if you're used to working off visual clip lengths and time guides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is VideoScribe solving and how is that benefiting you? We use VideoScribe to create tutorial and promotional videos for a variety of products and services. We also use it sometimes for internal presentations. It allows us to create relatively dynamic and engaging videos without having to spend much time learning how to use it or waiting for files to render. We can often create simple, yet good quality, animated presentations within an hour. Our more complex videos can often be done within a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Response from Barry Radford of VideoScribe [Editedit](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/videoscribe-review-1511926/official_response/edit) Hello Bruce, Thanks for the review and glad you are finding it useful and easy to use. Just thought I would respond to share a trick with you to help with your dislike. VideoScribe contains grid lines which are designed to help with alignment. You'll see a ruler around the top and left edge of the canvas and if you click on it a blue line will appear which you can drag to position. If you need several just keep click on the ruler again and another will appear. These will not show on the preview or finished video, they are just there as guidelines for alignment.

Creative Director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/23/2018 "Create dynamic and fun animated videos with ease" 4/5 What do you like best about VideoScribe? Video Scribe has simple tools for create dynamic animated video assets. I comes with many graphics and icons that we can use and also allows us to import images of our own. We can even change the animated hand graphic to an image of our own, like a pen, paint brush or our own hand holding a pencil. The editing tools a straightforward enough for anyone to adjust. There are clear instructions for setting animation durations and styles. We can have graphic assets drawn in or moved in. The text animation is generally smooth and looks like an actual person writing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about VideoScribe? Though the effects are great and unique, there aren't as many effects as I'd like for the price. I still think it's worth the price, but I'd like to see more standard features like masking, snapping and coordinates information. To make Video Scribe videos more customized, I'll usually have to import the video into a separate video editor, which can be a hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering VideoScribe: I'd suggest checking out sample clips from Video Scribe to see what can generally be made with it. If used creatively, I think you can make lots of different videos that can really grab your audiences attention. Since the drawing and moving effect is a main component of Video Scribe, it may not seem easy to change the overall feel of videos, but you should be able to change things up more by importing your clips into other video editing software. The effects that you can create in Video Scribe are not easily done in other common video editing software, so it's a great value for basic animations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is VideoScribe solving and how is that benefiting you? We can create dynamic video clips for use in video tutorials, advertising and business presentations. One of Video Scribe's best qualities is that it can allow us to create clips quickly. Even though the final output through Video Scribe might need work in other software, we usually don't have to spend much time getting what we need in Video Scribe. Since we can save projects in Video Scribe, that allows us to use pre-existing projects as templates for new ones. We can simply switch out images and text to create new video clips.

I like how easy it is to use. With such a comprehensive asset library, you don't need to spend too long creating an effective animation. Clients always comment on how professional they look and how the style of Videoscribe animations communicates their message clearly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about VideoScribe? I really don't dislike anything. I suppose it would be good to have more free assets as some of them are quite expensive but that's me being picky! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering VideoScribe: Get a trial of it and see how good it is for yourself! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Video Scribe makes it easy to create quick and fun business videos without much technical knowledge about video editing. The menus and options are relatively straightforward with instructions next to buttons and settings options. Most of the adjustments to the video assets, such as images and text, only require you to drag various parts of the assets to adjust sizes, position or rotation. One of the main features of Video Scribe is its ability to animate the drawing of text and certain graphics. This effect is very eye-catching and helps the viewer follow along with the content of the video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about VideoScribe? I think the overall video editing capabilities of Video Scribe are somewhat limited. Even though one of the main features of these features is the animated drawing and movements, I feel they should be able to provide tools that allow users to position items in precise locations or at least display information about size and location. The effects that Video Scribe can execute are more commonly seen in videos nowadays, so I think you have to spend more time to create VS animations that stands out and looks unique. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering VideoScribe: I would recommend potential Video Scribe users to also consider using other video editing software together with Video Scribe. This should allow you to have more control over placements and timing. Also, if you don't like the hand graphic that Video Scribe provides, you can actually use your own hand image or import a blank PNG file to make the hand disappear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is VideoScribe solving and how is that benefiting you? We can use Video Scribe to create simple videos that have a unique flare compared to many videos out there that just show images, video footage and text captions. Since Video Scribe is pretty easy to use with clear instructions and tutorials, several people on our staff can use it create or edit videos. We don't have to rely on a video editing specialist to create a quick and captivating video for demonstrating or marketing something on social media or our website.
