Do you want in-house<\/span> software to create animated presentations<\/a> but are overwhelmed by the options? A few critical features<\/span> make all the difference in the functionality and usability of different platforms. Here are three to look for when comparing animated presentation software<\/span> choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. A Robust Media Library<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Does the animated presentation maker software you\u2019re considering have a large collection of stock photos, videos, and animated characters or objects? These are key in ensuring your finished product<\/span> looks polished, professional, and unique. If every creator uses the same one or two characters, all videos made using the platform will have a similar look and feel. But when you have a huge library at your disposal, you can choose visual objects to give your video<\/span> a custom look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A built-in media library also provides some legal protection and cost savings. Those who offer stock images have partnered with a provider and negotiated proper usage rights and royalty terms, so you don\u2019t have to. And though your platform charges a nominal fee for stock images, they\u2019re usually much lower than purchasing an individual photo from a stock photo site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Customizable Templates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Templates are good, but customizable templates<\/span> are better. Presentation templates<\/span> allow the novice user<\/span> to create a great-looking video<\/a> with ease. They\u2019re also helpful when you\u2019re putting together a quick presentation and don\u2019t have much time to spend on all the visual details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customization takes templates<\/span> to the next level for those must-impress presentations and videos. Having options like a watermark, logo, background music, or your company<\/span>\u2019s colors and signature font keeps your video<\/span> on brand and convey consistency<\/a> to your audience. Templates also allow experienced video<\/span> creators and artists to flex their creative<\/span> muscles; instead of feeling limited by a rigid template they can use it as a launchpad to an eye-catching visual communication<\/span> piece!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Easy Sharing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s easy to overlook this feature when evaluating options for an animated presentation tool. But remember, you\u2019ll need eyes on your project throughout the creation process \u2013 not just the final result. Emailing video<\/span> files<\/span> is a pain that comes with lots of technical challenges, and re-uploading your video<\/span> to an external platform every time you make an edit is a hassle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay attention to the sharing options available during and after the creative<\/span> process. Does your animated presentation maker software have a cloud-based platform<\/a> that lets you solicit feedback from your team with a simple link? Is it machine-dependent, meaning you\u2019ll need to lug your laptop to the sales<\/span> pitch? Can you embed your video<\/span> in an email<\/span>, or will your recipients be forced to an external site to view your internal comm? Is saving the original video<\/span> file<\/span> to your device even an option?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s tempting to believe this feature isn\u2019t important, but if you wait until your video<\/span> is finished and then discover their limited sharing options don\u2019t work for you, you\u2019ll quickly realize the opposite is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
