Chose Powtoon
Powtoon is second in my animated video creation tech stack. I prefer Vyond for the speed, sophistication, and ability to add voiceover, but since I started with Powtoon I still use it to update my videos. Their licensing options are affordable. I also love their asset …

Chose Powtoon
Powtoon has the advantage over traditional video editing software in terms of the library of characters and elements that can be easily dragged and dropped onto the canvas.

Powtoon is easier to use and has a more intuitive user interface than Vyond.

Chose Powtoon
In most cases, Powtoon is the superior tool for video creation and PowerPoint-importing over Captivate, Storyline and Camtasia. And it's MUCH easier to use than Vyond/GoAnimate. It's also much cheaper than these alternatives while providing better tools and a more robust …

Powtoons has more support and training than Animoto. Powtoons subscription price for educators is less expensive than a usual premium subscription. Powtoons integrates easily with many different platforms in a way Animoto does not. We can export Powtoons to Mp4s which students …

Powtoon is pre-made with cartoons so it is much easier. I use Adobe for videos that are outside of work. To create slide shows, iMovie is best.

Powtoon is a very capable suite of tools that help a developer create training videos that look way better than they should. I've used it to create fun, attention-getting commercials for new topics, I've used it to enhance what would otherwise be boring step-by-step tutorials, and I've used it to create all manner of "Explainer videos" for all kinds of topics - this is where it EXCELS! In my opinion, its biggest limitations are limits on imported video (max of 90 seconds), which mean that you have to do a lot of extra work to break up and import anything of substantive length. And because it presents your personal library of imported images and audio ONLY sequentially, it's VERY LIMITED in the re-usability of those assets - it's way faster to just import a new instance of an image and audio than to try to find it in your library.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • Only one timeline to edit from which sometimes makes it difficult to select objects.
  • Animations can only be set to ½ seconds. Sometimes more precise amounts of time are needed.
  • Although there are a bunch of different actions you can place on a character, it's almost impossible to create a custom action within the program.

I have never needed the support feature. As I mentioned, everything was intuitive to me however I have taught myself Adobe, Final Cut and iMovie so most of these programs became intuitive.

  • People love our "tips, tricks and troubleshooting" videos I have created which has helped our learners with their training
  • Our learners have been able to self train using videos I have created with Powtoon
  • It has decreased time and efficiency for our in person trainers and now they can refer them to our online training.
