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 VideoScribe for over 7 years now.

In this fundamentals course I’ve captured all of our top hints and tips so you can quickly learn how easy it is to create engaging whiteboard animation videos using VideoScribe for your desktop.

Please note: this course focuses on the desktop version of VideoScribe, so it is not recommended for users of the browser version.

This course is perfect for beginners - maybe you’re brand new to VideoScribe or you’ve already mastered the basics. Either way, you’ll learn all the fundamentals of whiteboard video creation and also all those neat tricks and tips I mentioned.

With VideoScribe, you don’t need to be an artist or have any video creation experience. Our library is full of pre-animated illustrations and images which automatically draw themselves - you just choose the styles that you like. I’ll be taking you through everything from the ground up.

Throughout this course, we’ll be running through a step-by-step process to create your own amazing animated videos from scratch. Enrol now to get started!

Just what I needed now. Our only issue is that in our field there are very few assets for us to use ... pregnancy and childbirth. But we'll sort that out somehow.

No, para nada. El contenido es muy básico y se puede encontrar de manera gratuita en la página oficial de VideoScribe.

I really want to be able to use VideoScribe to improve my lesson on Udemy.com and on my other projects. I am experimenting and enjoying working with VideoScribe. This teacher has a very calm and clear presentation style and clearly knows this product. I recommend this course.

This was a great course on all of the fundamentals for using VideoScribe! Jonny is an excellent instructor, was easy to listen to, and did an excellent job of cementing these fundamentals into my mind. I now feel that I have a good grasp on how to use VideoScribe in order to create some amazing whiteboard animations! Thanks so much for your time and effort in producing this training Jonny...I'm now off to your advanced course for even more learning.

The course is put together in logical, small chunks of information, which make it easy to digest and learn the material. I've already made my first animated video and it feels great!

The explanation is great and easy to follow. Some screen on the video like help , differ from the actual version of the software. Minor issue.

It is useful if you don't understand after using videoscribe. Especially the [set camera to current position]. I never figure out by my own.

I choose and enroll in 2 VideScribe courses with the most positive feedbacks here on Udemy. And this one is absolute the best: up-to-date (the second one was for the older version of VideoScribe interface and very frustrating) and easy to follow instructions with great tips and techniques. Easy to understand even if your English on the beginner level yet. Thank you very much!

Yes, was a good match. I had some questions I needed answered. The course had good flow. Each topic built on what was previously learned. There was some nice little extra tips. By the end of the course I was able to create my own work flow on how to create a scribe. Thank you.

This course is a fantastic overview of VideoScribe. I've used the tool for a while yet still learned loads of new things I can do. Can't wait to put it into practice!

Really well done - short enough to get through them quickly but thorough enough to feel like it's not skipping useful tidbits

Really clear explanations. I like that you can watch what is being explained on screen as an example video is created showing you the tools for that section.
