How To Turn Your THE BEST WEBSITES TO MAKE YOUR OWN WHITEBOARD VIDEOS From Zero To Hero

Creating whiteboard videos can be fun! Many use whiteboard videos thanks to retention rates that are much better than any other video format.

Unfortunately, since everyone is using whiteboard videos, it is more difficult to stand out these days.

In this age, if you want the attention of the people, you must stand out. To make a unique video, you need a unique application: you need Whiteboard 2.0!

In addition to the traditional slate style, we have added 4 new styles:

Glass board

Stitch board

Pad

Board

The best part is that it's completely free!

In this guide, we will give you step-by-step instructions to not only create whiteboard videos but also to highlight.

Step 1: Start with the script - make it very good!

When creating a blackboard video, many people fall into the trap of the visual and do not concentrate much on the script. While you need a convincing script for any video, when it comes to a whiteboard, it's even more critical!

When you start writing the script, keep three things in mind:

1. the hook

People only take a couple of seconds to decide if they will see the rest of the video. The hook is that factor that makes people stick. So, what will make your viewers interested? It can be an element of curiosity or even a great point of pain.

2. The central message

This is the main message of your video. This is where your video will be judged. A lot of people come up with excellent hooks but they do not match the exaggeration in the rest of the video. Make sure you have a central message clearly structured to keep viewers interested.

3. The CTA

The main reason for any marketing video is to get people to act and thus enter the next stage of the funnel. This is where a call to action comes into play. Without a CTA, you can not derive any commercial value from your video. You must make sure not to force the CTA to the hearing. Make it natural as if it were part of the story.

A little humor can also help a lot. But do not strain yourself if you're not good at that. Be talkative and make it personal.

Step 2: Storyboard the sequence

The storyboard is more like a comic strip from your whiteboard video. The purpose of the graphic script is to give you an idea of ?? how to organize the script scene by scene.

You could use the larger picture to illustrate the graphics, while the other two smaller pictures can be used for text. One of the boxes can be used for voice over and the other text box can be used to plan the animation of the video.

Although it is mainly a blackboard animation tool, thanks to the simple drag-and-drop interface, you can even use it for the storyboard!

Later, you can even convert the entire storyboard into your video!

Step 3: Choose your style of the whiteboard.

To choose the style of your board, select 'whiteboard' from the available topics. You can access it through the drop-down menu in the upper right corner.

As soon as you select 'whiteboard', a pop-up window appears that allows you to choose the style of your board:

Let's look at each board in detail:

Glass board

In this style, things are written and drawn from behind as if they were on a glass. You can use a background color and make the glass board look unique. This style is one of the most popular boards among all slate styles.

Stitch board

This style allows you to unite your characters in a denim cloth. This is one of the most unique boards we have.

Notebook

Notebook style resembles paper scribbles. It is a natural way of explaining things in a video. You can also add ASMR effects to make your videos irresistible.

If you like the traditional way, you can always use the blackboard and the old school blackboard.

Step 4. Choose your stroke style and color

Stroke Styles

Along with all the boards to choose from, you can also choose among many stroke styles:

To access this feature, click on the character.

A menu called "Character Setting" appears on the left side of the screen. Click on the magic wand to go to the 'effects' tab.

Click on 'go into effect'.

You can choose between the different strokes and stitches available here. You can also choose to have the strokes appear alone without a hand and a drawing appearing.

Stroke colors

Blackboard videos do not always have to be black and white only. In this brand age, you can use the psychology of colors to evoke certain emotions in your videos.

Within the board, you have the option to choose the style and color of the stroke.

As mentioned above, you can find it in 'character settings'. Click on the 'palette' that will take you to the colors tab.

You can change the color of your strokes here.

You will also see a toggle button next to the 'fill' option that fills the strokes with colors.

This is how it looks with the 'padding' enabled:

You can choose existing colors or simply use the built-in color picker.

Bonus advice:

The interface is built in such a way that you can use elements from other topics.

For example, you can include 2D characters, hand-made animations or even video infographics in your whiteboard video to make it unique.

Step 5: Explore the world's coolest whiteboard animation library

To make a great slate video, you must use strong visual cues that reinforce the script. The whole point of the blackboard video is to simplify the narration with the help of images.

Characters

Currently, we have characters for almost all occasions, including travel, entertainment, business, adventure, and technology. We are adding more to the list soon.

Properties

There are almost more than 1000 diverse properties in the blackboard library.

All the properties were created after carefully analyzing thousands of videos of professional whiteboards. A particular addition is maps and flags.

Many people who use DIY tools fight against location-based limitations. We've added it to the library to help users tell interesting stories from anywhere in the world!

Apart from maps and flags, you can choose anything from an apple to a car.

You can also load your own accessories in the loading section of the library:

Step 6: Encourage your whiteboard video!

This is the place where your skills come into play. It must time the properties in such a way that it resembles the real scenario of a person drawing on a blackboard.

However, you do not have to worry, it's easier than rolling off a log!

Step 1: Drag and drop visuals

In a typical whiteboard video, you should capture the attention of your viewers using the images. The text only acts as a support element.

You can add the text after the drawing sequence has finished.

Trying to animate both together will make more than one hand appear on the screen at a time. This will irritate your viewers. So be sure to time them one after the other.

Step 2: Add input and output effects for scenes

The animation process of a blackboard video depends completely on the 'input and output effects'.

As mentioned above, you can access 'enter effects' in the effects tab. It appears once you click on the character or property.

As for the output effect, you can choose the classic to erase effect:

You must simulate the scene as if the hand was rubbing the board and all the elements of the scene disappeared the moment your hands rubbed it.

To do this, click on the character and choose delete blackboard. Adjust the timeline in such a way that this is achieved.

The logic is quite simple and anyone can do it easily.

Step 3: Adjust the time of each scene.

Once you have adjusted the input and output effects, preview the video once. Observe if the drawing or text moves too fast. See if your eye captures the entire scene of the drawing and the scene of the text thoroughly. If not, adjust the time accordingly.

Step 4: Add transition effects

We have recently added more than 40 transition effects to the existing list. You can use these effects to make your video look more professional.

If you are choosing a deletion effect for a particular scene, do not add any transition effects. The animation will be interrupted.

Bonus advice:

Some other tools may be useful for animating a blackboard video. One tool, in particular, is 'flip'. The flip option allows you to flip the characters to the desired orientation.

To activate 'flip', click on the character / property. As soon as you click, a pop-up window appears. Click on the flip button. The image is flipped. You can also use the 'log' and 'multimove' to make the board look more natural.

Step 7: Spray some music and voice

You can add background music and other sound effects from the library itself.

You can also upload custom sound and music files:

When it comes to voice-over, you can import it, record it within the application or even create it using the voice-over application.

You can only drag and drop your music files into the music timeline:

As you can see, it is divided into three so you can have sound effects, background music and voiceover at the same time.

Step 8: Preview and export

Once you have finished creating, you must first preview your video!

This is when you review your work and check if changes are required. Make sure there are no time errors. See if your message is transmitted. If all is well, you can download the video or export it directly to YouTube.

You can choose the quality of the video before exporting.

That's right, it's that simple!

As Dr. Wiseman pointed out in his research report, whiteboard videos can reach figures that go far beyond imagination.

So, are you ready to be part of the second wave of Whiteboard videos?
