The best part is - it's completely free!
In addition to the traditional whiteboard style, we have added 4 new styles:
In this style, things are written and drawn from behind like it’s done on glass. You can use a background color and make the glass board look unique. This style is one of the most popular boards among all our whiteboard styles.
This style lets you stitch your characters into a denim cloth. This is one of the most unique boards we have.
Notebook
The notebook style resembles doodles in paper. It is a natural way to explain things in a video. You can also add ASMR effects to make your videos irresistible.
If you love the traditional way, you can always use the old-school blackboard and whiteboard.
Watch the preview of all the whiteboard styles below in the video:
Here is how you can create a whiteboard video in Animaker.
Step 1: Drag and drop visuals
In a typical whiteboard video, you have to grab the attention of your viewers using the images. The text only acts as a supporting element.
You can add the text after the drawing sequence is over.
Trying to animate both together will cause more than one hand to appear on the screen at once. This will irritate your viewers. So make sure that you time them one after the other.
Step 2: Add enter and exit effects for scenes
The animation process of a whiteboard video depends entirely on the 'enter and exit effects'.
The ‘enter effect’ appears as soon as you click on the character.
You can pick from the different strokes and stitches available here. You can also choose to have strokes to appear by itself without a hand coming in and drawing.
As for the exit effect, you can choose the classic erase effect:
You need to simulate the scene as if the hand is rubbing the board and all the elements in the scene disappears the moment the hands rub it off.
To do that, click the character and choose whiteboard erase. Adjust the timeline in such a way that this is achieved.
The logic is quite simple and anybody can do it easily.
Step 3: Adjust the timing of each scene
After you have adjusted the enter and exit effects, preview the video once. Notice if the drawing or text moves too fast. See if your eye catches the entire drawing scene and the text scene thoroughly. If it doesn’t, adjust the timing accordingly.
Step 4: Add the transition effects
We have recently added 40+ transition effects to our existing list. You can use these effects to make your video look more professional.
If you are choosing an erase effect to any particular scene, do not add any transition effect. It will disrupt the animation.
Bonus Tip:
A few other tools can come handy for animating a whiteboard video. One particular tool is 'flip'. The flip option lets you flip the characters to the desired orientation.
To activate ‘flip’, click on the character/property. As soon as you click it, a pop up appears. Click on the flip button. The image gets flipped. You could also make use of the ‘record’ and ‘multimove’ to make the whiteboard seem more natural.
Step 7: Sprinkle some music and voice
You can add background music and other sound effects from the library itself.
You can also upload custom sound and music files:
When it comes to voice over, you can either import it or record it inside the app itself.
You can just drag and drop your music files in the music timeline:
As you can see, it is split into three so that you can have sound effects, background music and voice over at the same time!
Step 8: Preview and Export
Once you are done creating, you should first preview your video!
This is when you review your work and check if changes required. Make sure there are no timing errors. See if your message is getting conveyed. If everything is fine, you can either download the video or export it directly to YouTube.
