Object ordering – The features of bring to front and send to back are available with right-clicking on a graphic.Auto save – This is a great feature that is built it, but should not replace a user taking the initiative to press the save button.If you’re envisioning creating your own custom animations and have more in-depth knowledge of multi-layered, timeline animation, it may be best to use Flash or Edge Animate, but if you want to create something to get your ideas across without having to bridge, what some might consider, a steeper learning curve for creating, publishing, and web integration, then PowToon could do the job, without the need for proprietary software. Having a lot of prior knowledge of the Flash environment, timeline, and animation features like tweens or inverse kinematic armature with the bone tool ( now deprecated in version CC), I tended to compare PowToon to Flash or Edge Animate, but then realized that was not quite fair. I initially approached PowToon from an Adobe Flash designer’s perspective.
PUBLISH POWTOON TO CLASS SERIES
The creators have also made a series of video tutorials which can get a user up and running with the essential features.
Once your animation is complete, you can publish it easily to YouTube or other social media for sharing. It has an interface reminiscent of Microsoft’s Power Point, using slides, but there are many other pre-made graphics and animations that can be added to bring your story to life, along with an animation timeline, and sound capabilities. I had never used this tool previously, but after taking it for a spin, using it for a short class animation project, I have come to the conclusion that it is an excellent tool for simple and quick animation, particularly for beginners. PowToon is a free, online tool that enables users to create animated videos and presentations.
