Videoscribe is a good tool to tell stories. This means that first you should master storytelling, an art for itself. The company is fully aware of this issue and supplies variety of relevant tools to meet this need, books, written and video guides, and good customer support. Add it to user friendly interface and you get a tool which you learn to use reasonably quite fast. I'm sure that there is much more to learn than i did, but i feel pretty ok with what i have acquired in a 20-40 hours. Technically, the only thing which i would really like to have is exact erase of an object. The scribble is not easy to use if there are more objects next to the erased one. However, while the software is great the need to buy lots of images from outside, even pretty standard ones, is not fun. As a teacher i would love to know that i can use the software without warring about additional payments. Far bigger image bank, from within the software, would make my life much more pleasant. In the bottom line, the tool is very good for its intended use, the image bank is disappointing.
