Excellent software to make animations that attract attention
Thanks to Videoscribe I have made a number of whiteboard videos. They are very funny and people get attention. I have made videos to explain how something works in the company, also to demonstrate a new product and many times a dedication to my parents or a relative. It is too easy to use and its features are very good. Without a doubt VideoScribe is one of the best softwares I have used.
PROSFrom the first moment I downloaded VideoScribe I liked it a lot. I started with the trial version and immediately bought the annual membership. There are many things that I like about VideoScribe, for example, it is very easy to use, in a few minutes I had already created my first video. I like your image library, it contains many cartoons, they are quite colorful and very well designed. The music library is also excellent, as it has songs of various genres and rhythms. I love the fact that I can export the video already created in high quality Full HD 1080p and in various video formats.
CONSAlthough VideoScribe is quite good, over the years I have realized that essential features are missing. First, I would like you to have the option to record the video in mp4 format, it would also be good if you could create a video with Instagram frame measurements, since today that social network is very popular. Second, it would be ideal that from time to time they added more cartoons to the image library, that way we would have more variety when making the videos.

Best of all whiteboard animation softwares out there!
Except for the UI, I believe the quality of output and fulfilling its promise of creating a good whiteboard animation video, meets my requirements. Having said that, these are just bare-minimum requirements and there is a lot of room for improvement.
PROSTheir templates are cool, the designs are pretty neat; the animations are quite smooth, and the design elements are elegant. There are also plenty of hand options to do the whiteboard animations. Its pricing is quite premium when compared to other similar tools, but the quality of its output is premium too! So, I'd say it's worth paying. I have been (paying and) using it for almost a year now.
CONS1. They once used to have a lifetime license. But unfortunately that's discontinued. That's just my pet-peeve. 2. product-wise, one thing I find annoying is that it's damn slow in rendering the output video. This takes a long time!3. Also, the design elements sometimes seem repetitive - there could be more variations, but again, that's just me.4. It'd also be great if it also offers mp4 output. We get MOV, AVI, WMV and a few other picture formats, but not MP4.5. Finally, I believe the UI could have a plenty of improvements - it's rather un-intuitive and not so friendly.
Reasons for switching to VideoScribe
Videoscribe gives us infinite canvas (all images can be zoomed out and seen in one frame), instead of screen-by-screen and different frames to view scenes - that's offered in Doodly.

Staple of our eLearning courses
I've been using Videoscribe for years, and it just gets better and better.
PROSI absolutely love Videoscribe. It's so easy to use and very quick to create impressive 'scribble-style' videos. The asset library is vast and there's even the option to upload your own SVGs if you have the appetite to create them.
CONSIt can sometimes be hard to find the assets you want because there are so many of them, and the search function is a bit basic.

BUGS! BUGS! BUGS!
Technical support team is trash. They DONT DO THEIR JOBS, never respond to support requests, and rarely update the program to rid it of BUGS.
PROSThis software is easy to use and does not require a huge amount of processing power to complete animations.
CONSTHE BUGS! There are so many bugs with this software that have not been fixed and may never be fixed. It seems like the team that developed this program has completely moved on to sparkols next program and are no longer providing technical support for this one. You cannot rotate the screen, you cannot run wav files in the audio, you cannot animate more than one item at the same time and oh boy you better watch out, if you have too many elements in the frame, some of them WONT SHOW UP. After about 1 hour of use these little bugs will start to rear their ugly heads and after a while you'll realize there are so many of them that degrade the quality of your final product you'll want to throw your computer at the wall. Overall this program is like a subpar employee that many little mistakes over time but provides a lot of value to your company that you fear you won't be able to find anywhere else so you cannot fire it.

Simple software really only limited by your creativity
Overall VideoScribe has helped us quickly create instructional videos that would have been much more costly to make if we'd had to hire it out to a digital artist.
PROSThe small feature set within VideoScribe means it's pretty easy to get started; there are not a ton of functions to learn how to use, it's more about learning how to use the small set of tools creatively to do all the different things you'd like to be able to do in your video. You can very quickly get up to speed and create a lot of video content without needing to know how to animate things or draw very well.
CONSI wish there was a better drawing tool within VideoScribe. It is essentially a collection of clip-art. For instance, if you want to draw something as simple as a triangle, there is no drawing tool to make it exactly the way you want it. Instead, your options are to find a pre-drawn triangle, or put together 3 pre-drawn straight lines, or go to another program like Illustrator and draw the shape you want and save it as a .svg file. This is a simple example, but you can imagine if you want to draw something like an accurately-scaled chart or graph, etc. it's much more complicated than you'd expect.It would also be convenient if other audio file formats could be imported other than MP3.And of course more expanded image and audio libraries would be appreciated.

Scribing Creativity
As an instructional designer juggling multiple responsibilities, efficiency is crucial. VideoScribe's intuitive workflow and pre-made templates help me cut down on production time, allowing me to focus on other essential tasks.
PROSWhat truly impresses me about VideoScribe is its ability to transform my instructional materials into engaging, whiteboard-style animations. This format resonates exceptionally well with adult learners, making it easier for them to grasp and retain information. The animations are smooth, and the final videos look incredibly polished.
CONSThe library of customizable images and animations could be more extensive. Sometimes when I'm explaining complex concepts I have a hard time finding the perfect visual elements to enhance my content. However, the ability to import my own media is very helpful.
Reason for choosing VideoScribe
Easier to use than VYond and more functionality than Doodley.

videoscribe is very good when comparing with other similar products
In overall videoscribe is a brilliant software for whiteboard animation creators to work with. No need of any professional education. When working we can improve our skills and creativity.
PROSIt's is very easy to use because it has drag & drop option. Also i like for the morph option. That is help me to get rid of many projects. Also I like the time alignment system. It is very easy to use.
CONSThere isn't a option to type words while drawing. That is the main problem that I have faced.

Convert complex ideas into story with VideoScribe!
Conveying brand stories using this application is the USP of this software. Overall its a great product for whiteboard style animation. The library of images and icons helps to visualize the story in a more cohesive way. I like its simple and intuitive design and the way it translates into animation.
PROS1)Easy and intuitive design for quick learning 2) Free images from the library are useful to draw ideas into stories 3) Handwriting effect gives a feel of constant engagement on screen 4) Drag and drop feature helps in creating videos quickly
CONS1) The library of images, vectors or templates are not exhaustive. It should be updated periodically 2) When working on the canvas you have to constantly zoom in and out to resize the graphics 3) Rendering of videos should be more faster as compared to other products in the market 4) There should be more output options while publishing the videos

Whiteboard into with ease
I enjoy seeing my ideas come to life in videoscribes. There are many images in the library and you can use your own images, too. I like that you can add variety to how the images are drawn onscreen--use pens, markers, hands, or just have the images slide in or get 'drawn' on their own.
CONSThe learning curve may be higher than other tools but the results are worth the effort.

"Gets the job done", but needs more features and better UI.
This tool does what it honestly advertises to do. However, it needs a better UI (user interface) and more features to stay competitive in today's multimedia platform market.
PROSIt does what it says at face value: build a whiteboard drawing video. Its linear "timeline bar" at the bottom reminds me of Camtasia. Therefore, for Camtasia users (or other popular video editing software users) we'd immediately understand what its interface intends to do. It comes with some built-in cliparts and media assets. It also has some custom options for hands, easels, etc. if you want some variety in your whiteboard video.
CONSSimply put, it has poor UI. If you want to examine my geeky-sounding rationale, read on. Rationale: Although its "camtasia-like" interface makes it quick to pick up for video-editing veterans, it's also what makes this software hard to use. This is because for whiteboard cartoons, there are just way too many moving parts. Adopting this UI makes navigating through the different parts very awkward and vulnerable to system/RAM lags. You can try to drag one small part. Moreover, compared to most software tools out there today, VideoScribe has paled in comparison in terms of # of features, media assets, etc.

Nothing is worth this level of service!
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, nothing is worth the level of service you receive. After our team was furloughed for a number of months we missed the subscription renewal date, we had planned to cancel the product. When kindly explaining the situation and asking for a refund we were told it was our own fault for not cancelling earlier, the responder was condescending enough to explain what a subscription model is and refused any kinda of refund. I have never experienced such a terrible response from a supplier before.
PROSThe software is simple to use to an extent.
CONS- The customer service team were extremely arrogant and rude when cancelling. - Many features required to make a meaningful video are missing, additional editing software was needed to turn any project into an acceptable video. - Far too many freezes or glitches caused the program to crash, make sure to save very regularly. - Additional graphics are extortionate, the lower initial price undercuts competitors but it's not worth it for the basic library and lack of features.

Brilliant video creator!
I love that with VideoScribe you're not restricted by anything. It's like having the power of a moving mind map in that you can create your video by drawing on a canvas and choosing how you want it to appear, flow and zoom in and out so you can be really creative and emphasise different points. People have gone out of their way to ask what I've created my videos in as a result.

A must have if you are in marketing
I tried it out of curiosity and decided to stick with it because it keeps getting easier to use it, the features more friendly and it's 2 apps in one (StoryPix is also a cool app to have around).
PROSThe whiteboard effect is great for intro and outro videos, as well as for explanatory videos that are so popular for marketing purposes. However, I have managed to create other nice things like dynamic signatures for me and my team.
CONSIt doesn't always respect your wishes and you have to play around with the framing, which can get a little annoying. I doesn't come with enough high-quality SVG images so you have to go outside to find them and that's not always easy.
