Development of Whiteboard animation using Video Scribe for mejora tu compresión de las películas en español
Before starting the development of my whiteboard animation using VideoScribe, I made sure to have two essential components:
Script: I created a script to outline the content and theme of my animation.
Voiceover: I recorded my voice to match the script I wrote.
Now, let’s go through the steps for creating a great whiteboard animation with VideoScribe.
Step 1: Creating the Narrative I carefully read the script I wrote. Then, I came up with a story and characters in my mind that matched the script. If using text was better than characters in some places, I went with text.
Step 2: Getting Started with Video Scribe I logged into Video Scribe and started a new project on a blank canvas. Video Scribe lets you zoom in up to 1000% for both characters and texts.

Step 3: Adding Voiceover I added a voiceover to Video Scribe by clicking on the microphone icon and uploading my audio file.
Step 4: Adding Text To begin the animation, I started with text to convey the main idea. I used the “Add new text” option to enter the text, customize the font, size, and color, and then positioned and sized the text on the screen.

Step 5: Including Images I enhanced the story with various images that fit the planned storyline. Adding images was simple; I just clicked “add new image” to access Video Scribe’s character library.
Step 6: Adjusting Animation Features Before finalizing text or image additions, I adjusted animation settings, like how the text or characters appear, move, or fade in. There were also options for customizable hands to add a personal touch.

Step 8: Fine-Tuning the Animation With text, images, and camera settings in place, I assigned animation time, pause time, and transitions where necessary, syncing them with the voiceover.
