This tool not only saves me time but does a great job of creating professional-looking videos with minimum effort. Doodly is super easy to use! The coolest thing is, I can upload my own images, doodle over them and add my own voiceover, it's really easy to use and I'd recommend it to anyone. Pros This is one of the best video creation tools I've used in a while, it's super easy to use and I can create my own explainer videos in minutes, instead of paying someone else to do it, I'm using Doodly to make videos for my courses and for marketing as well. What I like most about Doodly is - Ability to upload my own images - Free preloaded soundtracks for background music - Ability to upload your font styles - Custom voice over audio - No limits over the number of videos, create unlimited videos! Cons \- Internet connection is a must in order to use the software - The Length of preloaded soundtracks are short, even I couldn't find soundtracks of more than 3 mins in length Review Source William A. Owner Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Doodly is a nice program, but expensive overall with less features" January 14, 2023 2.0 It is a nice program, easy to use but lacks a lot of features other softwares have, they are more concerned about profit then making the software more customer oriented to the point it becomes a big seller Pros it is an easy drag and drop program, has some features which are nice, overall easy to create Cons they are overpriced for the market compared to others, tehy break down their software at 67, then 97 more for enterprise, then 67 more to add color option, the upgrades are practically none, most bug fixes if anything Reason for choosing Doodly wanted a whiteboard software Review Source RL Ronald L. Owner Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Doodly is a GREAT Doodle Maker" March 8, 2024 5.0 Pros I love Doodly. It is a great piece of software and allows you to create awesome videos. Toonly is a great addition as well. Cons The only thing that I have issues with is learning. There is so much to learn when it comes to animation that it may take new users time to understand. There are plenty of tutorials available but you may have to invest some time to watch them. Review Source BPB Bed Prakash B. Engineer Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Video Editing For My Educational Video" December 15, 2021 5.0 I am using doodly for creating my ads campaign video that increases my sales and conversion rate. Sometimes I use to create presentations by using doodly which is more eye-appealing and grabs the attention of all presentation participants. Pros Doodly supports multiple templates, characters packs that enable the creator to create a video with rocket speed. Doodly is suitable for educational videos, marketing videos, and analytical videos. Cons They do not disclose their pricing in a transparent way. They regularly promote one-time payment plans but you need to know one thing that you have some limitations on an on-time plan that you get noticed in ads. If you are willing to use enterprise characters and templates you need to buy separately from the doodly marketplace. Review Source AR Abdur R.

It's about creating short, simple explainer videos that keep the viewer fixated on the screen with the animation, getting the message across effectively. Pros This software is very easy to get a grasp of. Doodly supplies a host of short videos on YouTube covering all aspects of use. It's possible to create a video within minutes. Cons The editing stage can look a little low res and jittery, but that's to enable editing at a fast pace. Once you have rendered the video, it is in high res.

Ecommerce Certified Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Doodly Is Perfect For Explainer Videos" March 21, 2022 5.0 Doodly helped me by creating professional explainer doodle videos for my freelance clients. Pros I love the simple user interface how easy it is to create a scene, drag and drop characters, add voiceovers, and benefit from an existing template. Cons The standard plan (67$ lifetime) is far from enough, offers limited features, and offers a lot of upsells after buying the license; on the other side, their customer support is far from professional, they never resolved my issue.

They recently created an add-on a "character builder", no experience with it yet but sounds interesting. Pros The tool is easy to use for the basic creation of explainer material. But some more advanced scenes require hacks, no good interface has been provided for them (movement for example) Cons The marketing and sales of enhancement. Always the same "we have spend.... week / months / years" adding coloured items. But for you, for a limited time only, you can get access for ... (<-- amazing price here). Review Source Michael K.

Pros Even though the basic program does not offer much variety, it seems like a very robust program for creating explainer videos and its very customizable even though i favor using the templates because of use.

Review Source FL Francois L. president Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### " Not as easy as it seems" June 16, 2022 3.0 each time I use Doodly I am both impressed at the quality and how difficult it is to produce a good advert using it. Each time. I stopped using it after a while because the learning curve is too long. I am not blaming the product per se but rather the advertising of it...it IS a great product but is IS NOT easy to create a great video Pros Very easy to produce high quality doodle video Authoring tools is not to hard to understand Very affordable Cons Although it is pretty much as advertised as far as the quality is concerned, to produce a good Doodly video it take a LOT longer that what is advertised. Planning a script is key and once done we need to find the adequate template and doodles...really a different ball game. Pacing is really important and we risk to actually produce a counter effect with a bad video Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Mr Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Doodly once off is deceptive " June 24, 2022 2.0 Bad and ntot worth it Pros No reel pros. The product is online and takes time to work. Sizing is a challenge. Cons Features are only black and white. The add-ons cost more than most professional products. False marketing to say the least. Don't do it Review Source DL David L. Managing Partner Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Static presentations to animations" June 30, 2022 3.0 Overall, it is a good tool if you do not wish to use more expensive video presentation software. Pros The licencing agreement was a one time purchase for this software (with paid future add-ons). The basic offering is sufficient enough to make interesting animated video presentations Cons There biggest limitation to this software has to be full customisation. There are elements within the existing imagery/stencils which you cannot customise. Review Source II Irina I. Blogger Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best video creating ever" December 10, 2021 5.0 Pros I have been using Doodly to create videos for my website for 2 to 3 years. The videos engage readers, and I am happy I trusted my feeling to go with this software! Cons There is nothing to say about what I dislike about this product. Review Source KM Kevin M. Owner Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Careful: Bait and Switch sales tactics" October 5, 2021 3.0 The software isn't bad. Thier marketing is horrible and very deceptive. Pros The software is easy to use and makes great white board videos. Cons The vast majority of the features you think you ae getting with the software are actually add-ons. So the $70 price sounds great until you try to use and realize that all the sample videos show things you need add-ons to do. To get what you think you are getting when you buy...would cost over $500. It really feels like bait and switch to me Review Source LB Lisa B. teacher Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "base product is not worth it" March 16, 2022 4.0 I haven't actually been able to use it without upgrading - I work in special ed so the graphics I need are generally not available for what I need without upgrading. Pros It is easy to use and can add good graphics Cons I bought the base product but find the graphics very limited with lots of example of what I could have if I paid more! It's like in-app purchases. So to find graphics I have to sift through so many graphics I can't access. So far I have not found it overly useful. For what I spent I have very limited graphics Review Source Similar Products Featured
