Description
My name is Jonny Finch and I’m the Head Trainer for Sparkol, the creators of VideoScribe. I’ve been creating videos and teaching courses on how to get the most out of our software for over 7 years now.
In this course I’ve captured our most useful advanced techniques to help you master whiteboard animation and create even more engaging professional-looking animated videos using VideoScribe for desktop.
Please note: this course focuses on the older version of VideoScribe - know known as VideoScribe Legacy, so it is not recommended for users of the latest version.
This course is aimed at experienced users who already know the basics and have created a number of videos using VideoScribe Legacy. You’ll learn how to use a comprehensive set of creative tools and methods, such as how to create a variety of different types of transitions using advanced camera techniques, and creating different animation effects using move-ins, layering and a variety of morphing techniques. We'll also be looking at the planning process in detail, as well as covering how you can use different backgrounds, hands, fonts and animations to establish a range of captivating themes for your videos.
If you haven’t already, I recommend you complete our 'VideoScribe Legacy Fundamentals: Creating Animated Videos' course before starting this one.
Throughout this course, we’ll be working with a number of example scribes to understand exactly how we can set up and master these advanced techniques. Enrol now to get started!
