Hi

[@annabelpana6892]

Same , im searching a best app for our project, its frustrating coz im doing all the work but my teammates doesn't care about it.

[@eren-mikasayeager7236]

Ha! Same!!😕

[@cobra8310]

I am the lazy groupmate who just came here to laugh at you :)

[@diyamariyam3658]

i love the fact that this video doesn't have any background music in it...thank you ma'am.

[@arunrajvs]

You explained it lucidly and with a lot of clarity. I love the way you paced your speech in line with people's ability to absorb information.

[@jrsowash]

This is a great walk-through, Jen! Visuals are great and your pacing is spot on! 👏

[@sandraalsworth1071]

You did an excellent job showing what Powtoons can do. Thanks. I just learned about this program. It looks like something I might want to use.

[@jmistry674]

Not sure why there are dislikes of this quantity because this was a very good intro which was well explained for beginners (and anyone else) to 'Powtoon'. Great work JJ!

[@jmistry674]

Commendable job on this explainer video Jen. It always helps when learning a brand new programme for someone to point out the basics and what they do. Not quite who or why you have the 'thumbs down' but I challenge them to do something as useful with the appropriate language, pace etc.

[@samanthalourdes6278]

Hi Jen, thank you so much for this introduction to Powtoon. It is super helpful! Do you know if in the free version there is someway to get rid of the "Created Using Powtoon" watermark on the bottom right?

[@sandrad4900]

Really nice introduction to Powtoon. Thank you!

[@DeYaa]

Woow, I've been searching for something like that ! Thanks alot😍

[@shashankkr1008]

Is this free to export, i dont want any watermark

[@DeYaa]

@@shashankkr1008 no, it shows the watermark if you use it for free ㅠㅇㅠ

[@shashankkr1008]

@@DeYaa How good is it in terms of free version, i mean is there a good number of assets, effects and features available ?
Please help me in this matter, your help means a lot for me 🙏

[@DeYaa]

@@shashankkr1008 yeah, so many things and futures are still available in the free version, the only problem is that it has the watermark on the video.

[@shashankkr1008]

Thank u so much

[@avijitshastri5167]

Thanks a lot Jen! The video is detailed and lucid at the same time!

[@Michelgreat]

I was supposed to check out the video. But her voice is so lovely I watched the whole thing...

[@cliffgeo]

Thank you so much Jen! I think you really taught me well on getting started with this, cheers!

[@vinny1995]

Thanks for the demo. Would've loved to view the end product.

[@riteasrain]

I agree. Why make a detailed video without showing the result.

[@RoboRob992]

is it possible to use some kind of raster/grid/ruler or sth? otherwise it´s pretty complicated to arrange different objects in line.

[@acissmoon4879]

This is so helpful and informative. Thank you so much!

[@savannah7694]

This was a life saver. Thank you so so so much. I was so lost lol

[@arezoo6564]

Thank you! You literally saved me from a world of confusion.

[@jorgematos8482]

Thank you for this video. Very informative and clear.

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

This will be a useful program to use for commercial work.

[@em_gacha6743]

Whenever I try to play mine, it just shows a circle and a bunch of pictures inside of it like it’s loading and it won’t load. What do I do?

[@miagarcia6656]

em_gacha same

[@yaya4194]

I would like to know if i used one of the pro elements during the free trial in my project and after the free trial finished those elements will stay there or they will disappear?

[@Colt__the__Bolt]

can someone tell me why mine just shows only white on certain slides when i preview or play them ??

[@mrzy7765]

Thank you so much. I have been searching for and app like this to edit my videos with animations.

[@janinesuico9168]

Thanks! This is a big help to my report in school 😊💗

[@mozasalem1631]

Hi miss Jen, may I ask you for a help with my project which is about "Water Cycle". I have tried to create powtoon slides but I could not. Not sure which template do I need select as I don't have the option to select blank PowToon slides, the education templates which I found quite not sure how to use them. that's would be great if you could advise and guide me. thanks

[@SePiano]

The only great tutorial for this website so far, please continue.

[@MrChristian331]

can you use powtoon presentations on other platforms like SKYPE??

[@anisset0996]

I really need to finish a project for tomorrow when the deadline is supposed to be next month (my professor is an a-hole) 🤬🤬🤬 and this helped me a lot! Thank you so much 😊😊😊

[@blazedcheese]

[@mariangalua9623]

[@questionc9312]

[@qianhaohan7002]

Thanks for the video, helped me a lot. Its was really nice.

[@mydailyburger3924]

I love it! So helpful! Thank you!!!

[@raydarrelgerman1256]

I cant upload my video
all I see is a blank white page when I clicked the upload button. Please Help

[@apushprice1922]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[@BTNH_NiNJA]

Very well presented so I may just go down this alley and deviate from the typical Powerpoint 👌

[@diderotmusset3308]

Great tutorial. But curious to know what tools you used to make the tutorial.

[@AMBIDEXTROUS0912]

I think she used Camtasia

[@milcahjoycerafon625]

I love this!
I can definitely use this!!
Thanks!👓

[@creativelizzy.wonder]

Thank you sooo much ma’am. I really appreciate this video lesson

[@nicolevinoy7755]

this was extremly help full

[@SanctuaryOfTheHeart]

Very well done and very helpful. Thank you!

[@thebest-royaltyfreemusicfo178]

For a good presentation, you need high-quality background music!

[@atleastfortomorrow]

What screen recorder are you using? can you make a tutorial on that? thank you.

[@ishikars9566]

what is that video name which you added in that Mission impossible presentation?

[@angelbarbecue]

Thank you! you help me a lot with my school project :D

[@shahrozgill6209]

Thanks i needed this kind of software

[@brentonjjenkins]

There's a part where you create a link (to a youtube video). How is a user able to experience this type of content and interact with it (i.e. click the link)? It wouldn't work for an mp4 or RUclips video, right?

[@Bzeih311]

I wasn't able to finish my presentation without upgrading because it was longer than 3 minutes. Is there anyway around it?

[@sin5213]

Bzeih311 did you figure out how to make it longer

[@jaiminsharma]

I would just break it into two parts and follow the same method... Or you'd just screen record it with full screen in trial period

[@parsaroohafza6929]

That was the best introdusing of this website. Thank you!

[@shashankraj845]

Thanks that was a great help

[@tharunialampali27]

Can you insert tables,graphs and as such in powtoon?

[@laurenfranco1538]

With the A to B feature, is there a way to not get the B effect to happen until a specific time? For example, I have a circle with images in it, and I want the circle to get bigger and move, but not until later on it the video. Is that possible ?

[@JenJonson]

You can't set the timing, no. What I do is have a circle that doesn't move. Then I duplicate it but set the original one to disappear right at the moment I set the A - B to get larger. Technically there are 2 different circles on my slide timeline, but it appears to viewers that it's just the same circle.

[@ayeshajamal762]

Is it like canva? Can we download and use the videos created using free sign in?

[@krisiantanhueco4284]

The sound is still unsupported even it's free. Can you tell me why and how could I add some music or voice over?

[@BoisNation]

Did you use Camtasia to edit this?

[@KingJarlaxle]

Great intro video! Much appreciated!

[@juujuu2433]

Just want to ask something, if we use the free accounts. How long the animated videos can we make?

[@mui9066]

I was about to say the same question @-@

[@JenJonson]

www.powtoon.com/premium/

[@stwrliqhtt-]

When you just started, there will be a message that says gif expires in *time* hours? What is that gift?

[@ridhimamahajan2297]

This one is really helpful

[@GeoffreyUrch]

Thanks nice tutorial can you do Portrait ?

[@PGSharpe]

Wow, that was a great tutorial.

[@edwardferrari3437]

can i use this apk for my project presentation? as i did before in powerpoint i think its very good tutoriaI thnks.

[@teresamedina5201]

Lovely Video! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Peyilyan Especial Principle (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for learning how to create unlimited videos minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my best friend Jordan finally got cool success with it.

[@itsKylesM.]

Hi, how to fix if a slide/entire powtoon is not showing the designs/words if played?
ps.I badly need a solution

[@katherineasovia8991]

Do they still have a free account option? Does anyone know?

[@poorinvestor]

[@xxviletxx5491]
