Hi there, my feedback is that I think VS is kool but it would be great to allow some transition affects for SVG images. ie allow them to grow our rollout something that doesn't require the image to be built in the usual way but still incorporates some annimation rather than just appear. Cheers

I really love the whiteboard style animation...it kept my audience eyes on the screen throughout. I do not particularly like the mobile version on ios n android... i have to host at a "credit" site n not able to render to a video so that i can immediately upload to my clients or students. If it can have an online version as well...it would be great. Th rendering takes rather long on my laptop too...can that be avcelerated?

Great tool. I love the intuitive user interface. But the voiceover functions are too simple. I wish I shouldnt record voice over in one take.

*Overall, a good tool :) Strengths: - Simple to use - Can import own images - Lots of background music available Weaknesses: - Low hardware utilization: It is slow and laggy even on high end PCs. - The existing image library is very limited - What I usually use from are mostly arrows and text. The rest, I have to source my own images from Google and import - 99%. - To add on to above point, the sale of other user-upload images is at cut throat price. Thank you. Tri :)

I was very happy with Video Scribe. There were just a few things I would have liked to been able to do: edit audio within Videoscribe and more "free" image.

I have been very pleased with VideoScribe. It's performance is great, and the user interface is very friendly. I highly recommend viewing the tutorial videos by Jonny and Joe to become fully efficient with the software. My only reason for not giving a full "Very Good" rating is the software lacks the ability to add multiple voiceover audio tracks. The solution is to combine all the voiceovers and "coordinate" with the video. This is very "clunky" to say the least. Individual sound files should be applied to a timeline for critical placement. I have to rely on other software to perform this function, which is not very efficient. Otherwise, great product, great libraries, and I look forward to future enhancements.

Its a great tool, it really is. However it's still missing a few features and some fine tuning to the software itself for videoscribe to become the best white board animation tool out there. - I am not able to take a snapshop of the screen, only a snapshot of the whole canvas and that makes it really hard share only parts of my canvas with my team. - The software still has some bugs with saving the work. I've lost part of my work a few times because videoscribe simply would not save the work and some images kept simply disappearing from the canvas. That was a little annoying. - it was quite upsetting when I realized that not all the images were free once I paid 120 dollars for the software. I didn't care about the videoscribe logo showing on the screen, I only paid for the tool to get all the images, which I didn't get. - I also miss a feature to be able to delete several images/text at once and not have delete one by one. Overall, this is a great tool, I love how intuitive it is. Great work!

Overall, Videos are well handled. Conversion is quirky at times, but have found some work arounds. There is a learning curve, but am happy with the product thus far.

For us, this is great. We love to draw out ideas for clients so the look and feel echoes our own approach. It is easy to use, and after a bit of playing around, you get the feel for it - creating top quality videos in hours. It is disappointing that many images are an additional cost. They're the best ones (obviously), and that's a shame. For the cost, I'd be happy to recommend to others.

Hello Stuart thanks for the wonderful review. We are always working on adding new free images to VideoScribe as well as paid ones so keep any eye out. Thanks again.

Very easy to learn. I love all of the music clips. I love being able to voice over. I don't like having to pay for certain call-outs and objects. I would like to see more dazzle in the move-In and out options. I am very satisfied.

It is a very helpful tool! I was very excited when I got access to it - please improve visual data base and pretty please add Guidelines on how to create own visuals that will be drawn precisely in videoscribe. Thanks!

VideoScribe is a great program for explanation stories and simple processes that can work well wether they are long or short. The learning curve is quick and easy and VideoScribe's tutorials are enough to get you moving along. The only downside I have found is one cannot have multiple animations happening at the same time, which can limit the detail with which a process or story can be visualized. That said, I feel it is a great animation program for a majority of projects. -Brian W. - NYC

I really like your program, I have just one comment and noticed one possible glitch. It would be incredibly useful if there was a way to change the colour of simple available objects such as arrows and rectangles in the program. I have also noticed that when rendering a video one object appears in the wrong place. Thanks, Ben

I am still learning to use the entire functionality of the videoscribe tool. The Tawe tool needs some work. If I screw anything up, I have to do the entire thing again. Better editing features are definitely needed with that one.

Video Scribe is an excellent tool and a great platform for storytelling. This could be in education, business or just a DIY instructional. From start to end the process is very visual and easy to use. Right after signing up you get a comprehensive FAQ and Bootcamp/Crash Course to help you get started with it. Tech support is fabulous and it feels like you're a part of a growing family. Audio editing needs to vamp up a bit, so for now a few workaraounds are acceptable. This is a great investment and one would be foolish to pass on this product.
