About VideoScribeLearn More

VideoScribe is an application that helps people create whiteboard illustrations and animations. Whiteboard animation is an animation style where authors draw illustrations on a whiteboard or white surface with markers. The author usually includes narration or text to go with the animation. Typically, illustrators need to record themselves physically drawing each whiteboard image to create an animation. VideoScribe automates the process and allows artists to create completely digital whiteboard animations—without a physical whiteboard or marker. VideoScribe also includes tools to edit animation sequences and add text, images, voice narration, and music. Once you’ve finished your animation, VideoScribe can export it to various formats, including MOV and WMV format, as well as JPG or PNG image sequences.

You don’t need a specialized skillset before learning VideoScribe—anyone can learn it. That said, VideoScribe learners should have a few basic computer skills. Most importantly, you should understand navigating files and directories within your computer or device. You should also understand simple editing tools such as cutting, copying, and pasting. In addition, you should understand how to use the hardware and physical tools you need to use VideoScribe, such as a microphone or scanner. Finally, you should understand the platform or software you’ll be using with VideoScribe. For example, if you plan to use VideoScribe in a slideshow presentation, you should understand how to work with PowerPoint or similar applications. If you need to pick up some of these skills, you can take many Udemy online courses to prepare for learning VideoScribe.
