VideoScribe Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I honestly can't think of any downsides - the software is fantastic and great value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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 sorts 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.

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.

Video Scribe has simple tools for creating dynamic animated video assets. It 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, paintbrush, or our own hand holding a pencil. The editing tools are 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Video Scribe's user interface and controls are very straightforward and don't have the confusing collection of windows and panels that many other video editing software have. Adding images and video clips to a Video Scribe project is easily done through the importing tool. The imported assets appear right on the project stage where you can immediately resize them by dragging their corners or move them around the stage by dragging their bodies. We can simply enter the animation details in a panel right below the stage or click into an asset to set things like animation times, pause times and font styles.

Video Scribe isn't a great platform for making fine adjustments. For example, you aren't able to see precise size and position details. So if you need to move things to exact locations with exact sizes, you can't adjust the pixels or X and Y coordinates as you can commonly do in other video editing software. The pricing is also a bit hefty for software that has limited editing capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
