Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I think in the content creation, it has certainly upped our game when it comes to integrating animation into our little video clips. I think the biggest challenge we had in that field was making everything feel unique. It can get repetitive to make content, and when it gets repetitve, it gets boring. I think Creativity 365 has made us better at what we do

Pros

  • scan documents
  • quickly annotate docs
  • quick editing of video
  • love pdf reader

Cons

  • occasionally crashes, but not unlike other software I have dealt with
  • Having to install all apps separately
  • Slow loading time

Return on Investment

  • simplified our editing process
  • allowed our teams to collaborate better
  • negative: Not everyone got adept at using it quickly

All-in-one solution for visual thinkers

Pros

  • When used together, these apps are good for small projects like interactive slideshows, video presentations, and social media videos.
  • Noteledge itself is great for any kind of notes - not just to-do-lists or digital diary entries, but for sketches, interactive mind maps, or inspirational mood boards.
  • Animation Desk is very useful tool for those who want to learn hand-drawn animation, and for illustrators who keep working on the go, or just want to practice their drawing skills.
  • Write-on Video is a practical tool that can be especially helpful when you don't have time for extensive video editing. You can add titles, comments, animated stickers, insert jpegs, and audio tracks and share your video on a social media platform in a matter of minutes.
