Nowadays,
there are a lot of tools that aim to make content presentations not only
informative, but also engaging.
PowToon
is a web-based software of that kind. It is a constructor that allows you to
create animated videos and presentations by using a set of predesigned
templates. The process of the creation of a video is very simple. When you are
in the construction mode of the PowToon software, you generate a group of
slides just like you usually do while working on a presentation. Then, PowToon
combines this collection of slides into a video so that each slide represents
one video scene. PowToon has a drag-and-drop interface, which enables the
creation process to be very fast. The software is integrated with GoogleDrive.
PowToon
offers free and paid usage plans. The produced video presentation can be shared
on YouTube and Facebook freely, but to download the video to your computer, you
should pay for subscription. Unsurprisingly, paid versions of the software have
more animated and still templates to choose from.
