What VideoScribe is

VideoScribe is animation software for creating custom videos for explainer, marketing, and training content. It provides royalty-free images, illustrations, icons, and characters, with options to generate images using AI or upload your own. Animation effects include draw, pulse, spin, shake, bounce, and fade; draw effects can use different drawing hands. For audio, users can generate scripts and voiceovers with AI, record narration and sound effects, and add music from the royalty-free collection. Videos can be square, landscape, or portrait and export at 1080p as MP4 or GIF. Core and Max subscribers can make live preview links for draft feedback. VideoScribe has an installed app for macOS and Windows and a web version. On small screens, the browser version is limited to previewing and downloading projects. The installed app can continue editing through an unreliable connection, but does not provide full offline mode. A 7-day trial is available; there is no free plan.
