Animaker with over 10 million users creating professional 4k quality videos (animated and/or live) for On-boarding, Marketing, Branding, Simplify Complex Concepts, etc. in minutes
Powtoon is an awesome tool even if you do not upgrade to the paid version. The free version still allows you to create awesome Powtoon presentations that you can use as fun or in business as well.
Minor Glitch: Sometimes, objects (vectors, geometric shapes) would move to the wrong place by mouse drags. This is more of a minor nuisance than a real problem.
I heavily recommend PowToon as the software has captivated our audience with the animations that we have created with it and our company has used several to effectively teach students as well.
On occasion I'll have trouble uploading or downloading a video. It's never been something I couldn't rectify easily.
I liked very creative tools to make presentations appear interactive and interesting to audience. By using Powtoon it is very easy to make yourself stand out and be remarkable.
I was totally in the wrong. I read about the 14-day cancellation policy.
They have excellent templates to start with so you don't have to start with just a blank design canvas. Their support team is outstanding -- definitely one of the best that I've dealt with.
As far as loading times are concerned, there is no lag at all even if the elements already stack up.
The pure creativity of Animaker makes presentations and learning fun. All of the features and animation options are endless and make presenting and teaching new information fun.
I tried communicating with the team because I was displeased with the service.
It was very good, i am not a designer but i can create pretty good video by my self, save cost and easy to use.
If you add more characters (more than 4), there is an error message saying that it would hinder the quality of the video.
I really love the actions of the animations, like we can move a character from one point to another. It makes my animation lively and fun.
It isn't removed as advertized. I couldn't use the product and immediately asked for a refund where I was subjected with increasing insulting responses where they would not respond to my concerns.
What I love the most is Customer Service/Support. They are very helpful and ready to help.
My experience with Animaker has been horrible. I will not only not use this product, I will recommend that others not use it either.
Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Rebecca. I'm a graphic designer working for a nonprofit library, and I give PowToons five out of five. The other products that we were considering when we chose PowToon and made this decision, we were looking into iMovie, we were looking into Adobe products, and PowToon seemed easier, more user-friendly, and it overall was more cost-effective for our organization. With choosing PowToon, it was more user-friendly for beginners within our organization. We found that it was easier with the templates, with the different content, different applications that you can use within PowToon for our staff members, whether they were beginners or whether they had more video experience or more editing experience. So overall, PowToon was our choice. During the onboarding beginning stages of using PowToon, we first started it with a small group of our staff members and got them trained, and then they were able to work with other staff members who would use PowToon more widely. And overall, it was very easy to get started with PowToon, with the staff members on PowToons on their side, and they were able to answer any technical questions we had or any, either tiny questions that we had, and we were able to also find answers to questions on their website very easily. I would recommend to other organizations who are looking at PowToons, that if they're looking for something that's very user-friendly, straightforward, easy to use from just editing and exporting and sharing, PowToon is probably the right choice for you. There are so many capabilities within PowToon, that I feel that it could be beneficial for any organization.
Lora: I'm Lora. I'm a career coach in the professional services industry. Today I'm going to review the Animaker video software. I give it a rating of four. The business problem that I solve using Animaker video software is that in my communications with my customers, I have to repeat the same information and it's quite a bit of detail. The best thing that I could think of was to put together a cartoon that I could use to explain all of those details and direct my new customers and clients over to see that, and Animaker's video software helped me do that. What I like most about using Animaker video software is that it was free to start, so I got a really good connection with it, understanding how I was going to use it and explain my story, and then I was able to just do a simple upgrade, very inexpensive, and got quite a few more details, a lot of actions from the different characters I was able to build and even building customized characters. Now it tells my story for me and I don't have to repeat myself. What I dislike about Animaker is that the menu system is not very user-friendly. Once you get finished with your video, you have one selection which is to download. Once it downloads, you then get an email that tells you that your video is downloaded and gives you a link. Once you click on that link, it takes you to another screen of your video and your option again is download or to share with social media. I think it would be better if the first download was compiled for download. That way we would know that we're actually not hitting our download at this point. We could still go back and make an edit before we do our final download.
