"Great Animated Video Tool for Learning and Development"

5/5

What do you like best about Vyond?

This is a great tool to create animated videos for learning and development professionals. Love that we can customize characters for stories. Love that the editing is very easy to learn and yet allows us to edit the smallest things. The new AI capabilities are a good way to get started on a new video; however, I still start from scratch for most of my videos for training. I like that I can add background music and turn down the volume settings for when a charactor (or narrator) is talking. The AI voices (text to voice) are continuing to get better and better. Some of the AI voices are awesome and sound like real people. Some of them don't. I also love the "add camera" features that keep the motion going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vyond?

A bit pricy if you don't use it a lot. Make sure you're going to use it a lot before buying. We use this very often to add interesting stories and explainer videos to go into our eLearning. If you don't have the Enterprise version, which we do not, it doesn't give you WellSaidLabs with your subscription. We looked into getting that feature, but found out if you get it, it still doesn't give you all the editing capabilities for the AI voices that WellSaidLabs has as a standalone product. So, we decided not to get the Enterprise version because of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Vyond:

Vyond does offer a free trial for you to try it before you buy it. It is a great tool if you want to spice up your eLearning with more interesting animated videos. You should be able to think creatively in order to use this tool to its fullest capacity. Vyond is the tool that you can use to take your eLearning to the next level. It's tops in the learning and development industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vyond solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Vyond to make scenario videos to explain concepts, explainer videos, scenario videos, and soft skills training for Amazon. I typically add these to my Articulate Rise courses, but sometimes I use these as standalone videos. So much cheaper and you can do more than if you used professional video to tell the same story. I've used Vyond for animated videos for new hire training, process training, explainer videos, and upskilling training. It is easy to make interesting videos with Vyond that will keep the learners' interest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
