It is a very powerful tool that gives great outputs – but makes it very simple to understand and use from the jump.
I wish the text to speech was a little more lifelike – but I know they will eventually get there!

It easy to use, there are a ton of pre-designed scenes and props that make creating a video for the first time really easy. There are a ton of things you do and a multitude of ways to create a video or GIF.
Sometimes the little things about using the system can cause some frustration for example having to remember to 'click off' changing the colour of something rather than it automatically dropping away when you go back to the main part of your scene. It can just make a little more work.
It helps us create more negaging and creative learning for our organisation
Mejoran constantemente la herramienta ofreciendo una calidad de servicio increíble. La atención al cliente es muy buena. Se puede aprender muy rápido su uso, y empezar a crear materiales muy profesionales en muy poco tiempo. Al ser una herramienta online, no consume espacio en nuestros servidores y la posibilidad de organizar en carpetas los proyectos es realmente útil. También cuenta con una gran variedad de plantillas que hacen que su uso sea ágil, así como la posibilidad de agregar plantillas del equipo y compartirlas entre los miembros. Para proyectos e-learning utilizamos todos los días la herramienta, a los alumnos les encanta. No se necesita ninguna implementación especial al ser online, por lo que es fácil y rápido comenzar a trabajar con ella. Los vídeos se pueden exportar en GIF y en formato vídeo, con distintas resoluciones por lo que su integración en plataformas, cursos, etc. es muy sencillo.
A veces debido a las mejoras implementadas, el servicio no va todo lo rápido que debería, pero son cuestiones puntuales. En general muy bien.
Está resolviendo problemas de tiempo especialmente. Cada vez necesitamos producir más en menos tiempo y Vyond es una gran ayuda, pues permite hacerlo sin comprometer los buenos resultados.
When stakeholder groups asked for more engaging communications about my team's work and progress, we turned to Vyond to help us quickly make a 1-2 minute weekly video. I can turn around new and engaging communications with about 30 minutes of work, without having to have specialized knoweldge of animation or video editing. I was able to learn how to use Vyond in about 2 hours of playing.
Sometimes I can't find the images, images, backgrounds, scenes or gestures I am looking for. Also, there I wish there were more diverse skin colors available.
Vyond is helping us create more dynamic and interesting internal communications.
Love the AI tools they added in 2023 to create first drafts of videos, then I edit it to make it unique. I also like the improved AI voices and hope Vyond continues to add and improve these. I like how easy it is to make animated videos that allow me to make lots and lots of customizations to characters, backgrounds and other assets to get the story just like I want it for my eLearning videos. Their tool set makes it easy to create animated videos with no programming experience needed. They have tools so that you can make your characters walk, sit, talk, etc. You can also sync voiceover and have the character look like they are talking. There really isn't any other competitor on the market for learning and development to create animated videos like Vyond does. The end result are videos that look professionally made and look like they've taken a lot of time to create and yet you can make these in minutes. You can also create your own characters and change all of the characteristics about each character to have customized characters. You can create the president of your company, for example and a whole wide range of other types of characters. You can publish to a variety of resolutions like 1280p, 720p, etc. and the output are mp4 files. Then, you can take these mp4 files and put them directly into your eLearning.
A bit pricy if you don't use it a lot. Make sure you're going to use it a lot before buying. We use this very often to add interesting stories and explainer videos to go into our eLearning. There isn't much I don't like about Vyond. It's just such a simple tool to use to design and develop truly creative eLearning.
I use Vyond to make scenrio videos to explain concepts, explainer videos, and soft skills training. I typically add these to my Articulate Rise courses but sometimes I use these as standalone videos. So much cheaper and you can do more than if you used professional video to tell the same story. I've used Vyond for animated videos for new hire training, process training, explainer videos, and upskilling training. It is easy to make interesting videos with Vyond that will keep the learners' interest.
I love that Vyond is so easy to use and navigate. I'm not what you would call a "techie" but Vyond makes it easy for you - you'll be making videos in not time at all. The choice of props, scenery, characters, animation and ways you make your video fabulous, mean that no two videos need to look the same! But whats reallygood is that this offer keeps evolving - new props, new charaters, new everything! Its easy to download and give new users access as well, and works well with other software programes, to create a really great learning product. The workshops are great - I picked up so many hints and tips through these, even watching the experts and copying the shortcuts they used, make me feel like a pro! When I first saw a Vyond video that a colleague had made, I was new to this team, and had never made a video with Vyond before. I was really worried because I thought there was no way I could make something as good as the one I had just seen. Fast forward a couple of months am I am now that person making those videos! Its also given me a tremendous amount of confidence that I can cope with learning new software and technology, although I can't imagine that everyone has the the back up and support network that Vyond has. Definitely recommend!
I can't think of anything I don't like about using Vyond, and on asking my colleagues, neither could they! Surely you can't geta better reccommendation that that!
Its making learning much more interesting, meaning that teams actually sit and watch the video, complete the whole learning and benefit the organisation by gaining new skills, creating better, more efficient service. I have been able to really grab the learners attention in a fun, engaging way, resulting in great feedback for the department, and leading to more commissions.
It is straightforward to use, with an intuitive interface, and when I don't know where to start I can ask the Artificial intelligence to create something for me, simply by telling it what I want in plain language, and Vyond magically creates the video for me, I can then edit it to match my needs. There is a huge library of props, scenes and customisable characters to choose from, and the characters have a large selection of animation clips which can be strung together to make a scene. There is no need to record voice-overs or background audio, because Vyond comes fully equipped with a selection of natural-sounding text-to-speech voices, and there is a whole library of background music to choose from. We have been using Vyond part-time for a few weeks and have already created several five-minute videos to introduce and set the scene for our Software e-learning modules. Overall I love it - It's fun to use and I don't feel like I'm at work when I'm using it. and it gives great professional results. I can't wait to publish our courses and see what our learners think.
Vyond is absolutely fantastic for beginners and those who don't need to do anything advanced. When you do it becomes very constricting, and fiddly, and it can take a lot of time to find fudges to get around some of its limitations. The pre-animated character animations are a bit constricting, for example, if you want your characters to be sat behind the desk and typing on a keyboard on top of the desktop, you'll need to resort to some imaginative trickery to make it look right. While there are some character animations that contain desks, these have a limited number of animations.
We have been creating online e-learning courses for our staff for a few years and wanted to create fun ways to set the scene for each lesson. And vyond fits the bill.
I enjoy the freedom and flexibility to turn my ideas into reality with in-built themes and assets, making videos is a breeze. I use Vyond for all my eLearning and corporate trainings.
There's nothing to dislike about this tool.
Vyond offers an easy way for learning professionals to add interactivity and engagement to their courses. I use it to create bite-sized videos for quizzes and for creating GIFs to explain otherwise difficult concepts.
User-friendly interface Extensive customization options High-quality animations Useful templates Responsive customer support
Slightly on the expensive side Rest all is fantastic
Vyond Helped our organisation to create training videos in an engaging and professional animated video.It had options like content creation story board and was not to connect with the audience easily.. Overall I get excited working with Vyond and team thank you for your great Customer Service Brandon Nichols.I look forward to your continued support. It's the one-stop solution for creating the training content.
I like that I can create specific scenarios for customers. I also like that I can create character avatars and save them for future use.
The AI aspects are not helpful at this point because the voices are a bit robotic sounding. And AI video does not seem worth using -- it's faster for me to just implement my own video scenarios.
I am able to make personalized videos that engage my audience.
