Define your overall structure, and then your characters and props are right there on screen. All you have to do is move or swap them to personalise your scene. With Storyboard&#8217;s intuitive three-step flow, it&#8217;s\u00a0as easy as 1, 2, 3 to create a professional looking animated video. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.powtoon.com\/account\/signup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Please try it out now!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Move A to B<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"style-svg aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.powtoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/move-atob-new-feat.jpg\" alt=\"move-atob-new-feat\" width=\"650\" height=\"365\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Move A to B allows you to show a change in size, orientation or location of any character or object on the stage.

Use motion exactly how you choose to create a compelling visual story that connects with your audience.<\/p>\n<h2>Major Improvements in 2016<\/h2>\n<h3>New library<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"style-svg aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.powtoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/New-library_blog_image_cr.jpg\" alt=\"new-library_blog_image_cr\" width=\"690\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the updated library in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.powtoon.com\/blog\/new-powtoon-library\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Improved publishing flow<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"style-svg aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.powtoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/PUBLISHING_blog-image.jpg\" alt=\"publishing_blog-image\" width=\"650\" height=\"406\" \/><br \/>\nPreviewing, publishing and exporting your Powtoon is smoother than ever, with the improved publishing flow we engineered this year.
