Vyond (formerly GoAnimate) is a cloud-based platform for producing custom animated videos. It is used by educators as well as in business contexts by advertisers and content marketers, and for demos and presentations. Vyond has a drag and drop interface and includes libraries with thousands of characters, backgrounds, props, music tracks and sound effects. Users can also import their own audio, image, video or flash files using the import tool.
In my experience, Sendspark is particularly well-suited for sales and marketing professionals who need to create and send personalized videos at scale. The platform makes it easy to quickly record and share videos, which can be a great way to stand out in a crowded market and provide a more engaging and personal experience for clients. Additionally, the branding and marketing features of Sendspark are handy for maintaining a consistent and professional image. On the other hand, I think Sendspark may be less appropriate for organizations that require more robust collaboration and video editing features. The platform is designed for simplicity and speed, so it may not be the best choice for users who need more advanced editing tools or the ability to work on videos with multiple users simultaneously. Additionally, the limited customization options for video themes may not be suitable for users who need more flexibility in terms of design and layout. Other video recording and sharing platforms may be a better fit in these cases.
As long as money isn't a major issue (this application is pretty expensive!), it's the best solution I've used so far for creating short explainer videos. It's pretty robust/full-featured and relatively easy to learn to use. Vyond is constantly adding assets and features, too. It would not really appropriate for making full-fledged e-learning, as there's no way to add any interactivity to it, and it's not something I'd used to create long, complex presentations.
In the newest version, the timeline allows you to control each asset individually in a way that mimics video auditing software like Adobe Premiere Pro or Camtasia
I love the way you can replace an object and the new object will automatically take on the formatting of the object it is replacing including, location, size, expression, duration on the timeline, etc.
I really enjoy the spotlights on other user's videos. Even when I don't have time to read the full article, watch the full video, or attend the webinars, this is usually enough to give me new ideas to try out when making my own videos
I appreciate the ample notice when things are changing. For example, the platform will be updated at the end of the year, but I have had access to the new format since June(ish) so I've had time to play around with it and get used to it. By the time the legacy format is retired I won't have any problems adjusting to the new format or functionality.
The fact that it's on a cloud server means that sometimes the software can get clunky/slow.
There may be extra work involved if you have multiple characters talking in one audio file and you want them to sync their mouths with their appropriate lines.
Characters having multiple actions/expressions means multiple scenes, which can be very cumbersome to manage.
Because with such a contribution it is possible to reach customers much better than with many other expensive tools. It is comparatively cheaper to do marketing with emails. So you should make your email campaigns as effective as possible. What really works with Sendspark. I think Sendspark will implement many more things. Which is why I am currently convinced to continue using Sendspark.
I was recently at a conference where I learned that many of my peers also use Vyond, solidifying my opinion that it is the right tool for out needs. Further more, one of our content vendors also uses it, ensuring that I will continue to use it as I believe this will facilitate our collaborations in the future
This program is great when you have no video experience! There's only a little of a learning curve to the program. In general, the user interface is great and easier than using a program like Adobe premier. It's a great resource to use as a marketer.
Acutally we didnt have had any problems so far. Everything works since we use it. The Servers are fast, and creating videos is a breeze. The Dashboard works properly and we can work very Smooth with Sendspark so far.
Support is very fast. I actually get Support between 8-24 Hours which is Important for us. The website tend to slow down sometimes, but will not affect the overall usage. I think they have a good Server Plan, which runs smooth. Until now we didnt had any serious problems with saving our Video Files or Uploading.
Vyond is just an animated video creation tool. You have to use your video content and track its performance through other means. Because it is an online tool it doesn't hog your resources or slow down any other tools that I use. It is a stand-alone product and it doesn't need to integrate with any of our other tools. It does what it does and that is all we need.
I haven’t had any issues that required me to contact their support team. However, I believe support in any product starts before you have to call for help. Vyond provides an option for priority queue when you have their professional option. This is great for folks who need things done faster, especially when businesses can’t afford any downtime. Their Live chat feature is also reassuring, because I don’t always want to spend time on the phone or on hold if their call volume is high and I need to solve an issue.
Loom provides all basic features of screen recording software but because they are established now, they sometimes fail to work on customer feedback while Sendspark is always innovative e.g one of the life-saving features is a link to share with customers to record their testimonials which other software are not doing.
Vyond is the best tool our company has used for creating animated explainer videos and social content. We have tried many other software solutions but Vyond offers the most options for animating characters, text, and scenes. Despite the lack of options for overall styles, it offers a consistent and professional video every time. Plus, Vyond it's constantly adding new templates to their already expanding library
I think there is a lot of space for scaling. But for a Company like us there is plenty enough of capabilites to use Sendspark without any lack of performance issues. Maybe Sendspark could be limited for very Big Companys. But since they are a Startup, maybe they will grow and dive us to a better overall experience.
A member of my sales team went 10 for 10 on receiving replies from outreach prospects when leading with a Sendspark video message.
Received a PO for $109K on the last day of the quarter after messaging a customer with a polite and earnest Sendspark video to get the PO that day.
Supported a team member closing a sale by creating a Sendspark demo/explanation video of "this is how it would work" for the owner of a prospect company.
