One major problem with video marketing is that it’s expensive and time consuming. Taking head shots requires more talent from your team, you gotta have a good face on the camera or some kind of public speaking skill. For many reasons, animated videos can be a good alternative.
Today, we’ll introduce you a popular online video creation tool that can help you create incredibly great animated videos within minutes. Yes, you get it right; using this tool you can easily create your own animated videos in less than an hour. And what I mean is a professional video, not any video for the sake of videos.
And the tool that I’m talking about is Powtoon.
What’s Powtoon?
Pros and Cons
What I like about this site is that it’s amazing with a lot of templates to choose from, the animation and transitions will definitely make you stand out with your videos or presentations, whatever it is that you’re creating. You have a wide range of options for your video types, from cartoonish to something more professional or classic.
What I dislike about this tool is that it’s loading pretty slowly, but acceptable given that we have more patience.
Overall, this tool is great compared to other video creation tools available on the market.

How to Make More Professional Videos within a Budget Using Powtoon
Creating videos on your own is not that hard especially when you know the process and with the help of Powtoon, it’s a piece of cake.
First thing first is writing your script. What's your story? What's your message that you want your audiences to remember once they finish watching your video? This is very important as it decides whether your video is a success or not.
When your script is ready, the next step is to sketching out a storyboard for your script. A storyboard is a set of sketches that you outline to describe each scene in your script including the actions or what’s happening and the visual aspects of your video.<
