#POWTOON TO MP4 SOFTWARE#
(Unlike recording a screen-capture video in something like Camtasia, where the opposite can sometimes be true.) So write the script with the software in mind, record it, and then create the visual content to suit it.Īnd ideally, as noted in point 1, allow the visual content to work WITHOUT the narration for those who are either hearing impaired or simply watching without sound. If you're recording narration, do that first! It is MUCH easier to animate your PowToon to suit your narration, than to try and pace a voice-over to match an existing video.I knew what the text said because I wrote it, so I was reading much faster than a user, and not leaving nearly enough time for each part. When you create a video you become so close to the whole thing that it becomes impossible to judge how long each screen or section should last - I ended up adding several seconds on to some of my screens for the video above, based on feedback after previewing a draft on Twitter. It's vital that the video zips along, but essential that people can absorb each piece of information before it moves on. Get someone else to check the timings.It's not about how much you like a particular style, it is - as ever - all about your intended audience. The little animated figures may be appropriate in some contexts and not in others, for example.

Some of the styles and options in PowToon are really nice but may not suit what you're trying to say. This may sound obvious but it bears repeating - choose the visual style that best expresses the information and the message you're trying to get across.
