I like that there's a decent built-in library of characters and actions and that the characters will appear to speak according to the audio. I did find it much easier to use, and more powerful, than our prior tool, VideoScribe (but it's also more than six times as expensive). My internal customers have been very happy with what I and others were able to create in Vyond and the whiteboard style videos were especially easy to create and publish. I also really like that Vyond has been enhancing their product...there was something that I was really wishing they had (motion pathing) when I was creating my videos last year and I've seen announcements that they've added that functionality since then. (I haven't used Vyond since the end of last year, since I've had other projects to deal with.) > > **Cons**: The biggest con is probably the cost...it's expensive for this kind of product. I also dislike that it's subscription based...I prefer apps that you purchase up front (maybe paying a bit extra for a maintenance contract to allow for upgrades). In terms of functionality, one problem is that you can't make a single video file with more than ~100 scenes (if you're using one of the non-whiteboard styles) or you'll start having problems with previewing it. You have to break it into two separate videos (which isn't easy) and then knit the published mp4 files together to make it back into one video. Given this, the product should include a little video splitter/joiner utility (instead of directing folks to use a piece of freeware, which my company won't allow us to do). I also have a laundry list of improvements that Vyond could make to their product to make it even better....for example, it desperately need visibility toggles - can't get it to stop selecting stuff I don't want when working with other stuff that's near it and it also really needs to give the user some way to see layers - can't easily move things to the right layer when there are a ton of objects in the scene. There are also no views of characters from the back -- you can sometimes "fake" this, but it's not easy with all characters/character positions. There's also no way to lock an object in position (like the bookshelves I put on the wall in the scene). I have a bunch of other suggestions, but you get the gist. > > All of that being said, we needed to get out some informative, appealing videos out quickly for a project, and Vyond definitely allowed me to do that, with a reasonable learning curve. ----- ### "Good choice for video production" — 5.0/5 > **Ann** | *15 December 2024* | Public Relations & Communications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use; nice tool to make high quality video > > **Cons**: A learning curve if you want to do some fancier transitions, but it is possible and you can save and reusue the set up in later videos > > We used this at an agency I worked at. The designers were pleased with it, and the admin team were able to log in and make simple changes without design help. ----- ### "This experience was VYOND frustrating\!" — 3.0/5 > **Timothy** | *7 December 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software has a lot of templates that can help you create videos quickly without starting from scratch. It seems to be well-suited for beginners to create very simple videos. > > **Cons**: Let's start by talking about the bugs. Several times a day I encounter "video cannot be played" errors when trying to preview the changes I make while editing. Also several times I've been kicked out and told I need to log in again while in the middle of editing a video I had been working on for over an hour. When this happens, I lose all the progress I've made since my last save, which tends to be significant. I contacted customer support who told me "this is fairly common" and I needed to clear my cache, clear my cookies, AND restart my PC. I asked if they could extend my subscription or offer any form of compensation to make up for the lost time. They said they "can't" do anything of the sort. So aside from the software bugs and poor customer service, let's dive into the problems with the features. At first glance, it almost seems like they have too many props, character action animations, and so forth. But once you begin to create videos with any level of detail or natural actions, you'll notice just how frustratingly limited it really is. Say you want to create a scene where a character walks through a door. You'll find just two door props that have an open and close animation, but no static props of a matching door staying open. Nor will you find a wall prop to go with that door. Want your character to order a drink in a bar? There's no animation for walking while holding a drink. I've run into dozens of similar limitations of things that should be commonplace. > > I wholly regret the decision of purchasing this software. The extreme lack of common, everyday items for props and character animations you find yourself needing, the bugs and poor customer service make it a thoroughly disappointing experience. After spending hours trying to make a two-minute video with realistic actions and props, you find yourself forced to be creative just to cope with the lack of what you assumed would be standard. If I could do it all over again, I would have tried different software. ----- ### "Powerful animation features for cartoon characters" — 4.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *29 October 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The animated characters and choice of scenes. > > **Cons**: There is a 1000 word limit on a text box for narration. This means you have to split scenes sometimes. > > It's been a good experience. Video generation is snappy and you can edit within your browser not needing special plug-ins or extensions. ----- ### "Wide variety of applications for a wide range of skill levels" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *12 April 2021* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software has many more built-in templates than similar products, and includes lip-sync and camera movement options that create a polished look. It's easy to start, although users with more practice will be able to create more engaging storytelling and learning events. I also like the options for purchasing for a short period of time, if needed. > > **Cons**: It's expensive for a freelancer like myself to own a license at all times. I tend to get it for a quarter at a time on an as-needed basis. > > My first Vyond projects were change management prior to a big software implementation with a training push. The animations were engaging and could be sent out in microlearning sized chunks of 1-2 minutes of information about the new product. I've also used it to show scenarios before and after a new process or procedure, but my favorite is using it to provide animations to explain a concrete concept in a conceptual way before digging into detailed skills. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/323624/vyond?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/323624/vyond) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
