PowToon est un outil de montage vidéo conçu pour aider les entreprises à créer des vidéos animées et des présentations pour le marketing, les ressources humaines, l'informatique, la formation, etc. Grâce à la grande variété de modèles prédéfinis et à l'éditeur de type glisser-déposer, PowToon permet aux entreprises et aux équipes de créer des présentations entièrement personnalisées.
PowToon est une plateforme de création de vidéos qui permet de créer des vidéos et des présentations captivantes et animées sans aucune connaissance technique ni aucune compétence en matière de conception. Les utilisateurs ont la possibilité de choisir parmi une gamme de plus de 100 modèles de présentation pour différentes utilisations et de personnaliser les modèles avec la marque, le contenu et les visuels de leur entreprise. Grâce à PowToon, les utilisateurs ont également accès à une bibliothèque de musiques, d'objets et de vidéos libres de tout droit pour améliorer leurs créations.
L'édition Enterprise de PowToon peut être utilisée dans les équipes RH, les départements informatiques, les services de support client ou autres pour les communications internes, la formation et le développement, ainsi que le marketing et les ventes. Les membres de l'équipe peuvent créer des vidéos et des présentations attrayantes pour faciliter les communications, la formation, les publications sur les réseaux sociaux, les campagnes en ligne, etc. Les équipes ont également la possibilité de collaborer sur la création de présentations grâce à des bibliothèques multimédias partagées et à l'édition asynchrone.
Avantages
Easy to Start: It only takes me ~20 min to gain basic proficiency and ~60 min to gain advanced proficiency.
Time-Saving Templates: It has several templates ready to be used, which saves time.
Beautiful built-in assets: Animated avatars, objects, short videos, graphics, audios, etc. Basically anything you could possibly want in a multimedia product--PowToon has it already built-in.
Ease of Future Maintenance/Update: The way Powtoon's interface is designed allows for ease of future edits. You can easily swap in/out vectors/audio/texts if your video ever needs an update in the future.
Inconvénients
Minor Glitch: Sometimes, objects (vectors, geometric shapes) would move to the wrong place by mouse drags. This is more of a minor nuisance than a real problem.
Lack of Audio Editing Feature: It has very little audio-editing capability. Because it has a built-in voice-over recording feature, this feature would be more useful if audio editing ability can be available.
I am an instructional designer/developer and I use PowToon as part of eLearning courses and to communicate changes to end users. The premade templates make PowToon really easy to use. I find a look I like then modify with my content. Each template has its own music but I may upload my own music and upload images to personalize the video even more.
If I have a question, I can chat directly with the support team (and I have had lots of questions). I had some trouble understanding the timing of objects when I first started. (Hint: where the thumbnail displays on the time line has Nothing to do with the exit time) and was frustrated by the lack of technical information about how the product works. This is because they depend on their support team to help users. Generally this is good but I would like to see Some documentation, even if it were just voiceovers on a PowToon to explain something.
I found using a PowToon to communicate a recent system change to end users resulted in about a 70% view rate instead of a close to 10% read rate for just an email for a previous communication. I host the video on our SharePoint site and provide a link so it's easy to track the views.
I just extended my subscription for another year and look forward to new features, new images, and new templates.
Avantages
Easy to use, fun. Produces very professional looking videos.
Inconvénients
It is difficult to select objects and edit if they overlap.
I would like to be able to add tags to the images so I could easily find those I want to use multiple times.
When changing the sizes of objects, both the width and height change proportionately. It would be good to be able to change just one, especially boxes.
We make a lot of marketing videos, and this software makes it very easy to throw together a high-quality presentation very quickly, saving time and money in design work.
Avantages
This is my go-to presentation creation software, far better than Power-Point slides. It is clear they are constantly improving their platform with new features and updates appearing regularly in the system, and I've watched over the years how the platform has continued to improve. I've not been able to find anything comparable in price and features on the market.
Inconvénients
Occasionally there is a delay in the uploading of content, likely processing time for information to communicate between servers. Also, I wish there were an improvement on the way to render/download a mp4 file. Currently it renders it on the server and sends an email to download. I wish there were just a simple render/download button available on the program.
From my experience with the program I can say that I have not had greater difficulties than to find myself a little disoriented at first, but thanks to its easy use and interactivity, I can learn at once and I can create my video. I would say that I would have difficulty uploading or sharing the video, because there are not enough options or the ones I want are blocked and I must pay. It would be good if the tool would allow you to share those videos over Whatsapp for free.
Avantages
It is a simple and easy to use program. The presentations have many details and customization, being a very good point because it allows creating multiple videos and they do not look alike. It offers free and paid tools, also offers different ways to export or publish it; it is good the point and manages to make known the tool and the jobs and that many people can use it, either by paying or for free.
Inconvénients
The program looks very limited at times because they don't have other tools to change the style of their videos with respect to the format, that is, it follows established parameters and does not allow recording videos to be uploaded and edited with the tools already available, but it limits itself to that format already established and in a certain way causes the authors of the videos to be somewhat limited in the subject of creativity.
I have created dozens of videos for internal comms, advertising, recruiting and training. It has made my life so easy and with great reward and outcome.
Avantages
This is a super simple app to create fun and vibrant communications pieces either with cartoons or video.
Inconvénients
I think customer service could be much better. I don't think I've ever gotten ahold of a live person.
