I am a Doodly user and I always watch your tutorial videos to become better in doing my own videos. Thank you so much.

I have a quick question for you if you have time to answer, can you add a background to an object? (Like the umbrella or text that you showed how to erase)? What I want to accomplish is to erase an object with a photo under it so as the object is eased, the picture under it will appear. I'm very new to doodly, i was just wondering if this is possible. I figured that if I have the overlaid object with a white background, it would appear seamless to the rest of the whiteboard. I just want to create sort of a unique slideshow using whiteboard. Thank you!

I like Doodly and the video is nice but instead of finding tricks to "work around" the issues of the program, it would be much better if they just get fixed...

In this case it would just be adding the option to set the delay before the hand starts to erase the figure.

This is only one example. I feel like as a Doodly user I am spending a lot of time trying to come up with creative ways to get the program to do what I want, instead of investing my creativity in the videos I produce...

when I draw a object on upper layer, the Doodly will be earse automatically. How can I disable this function? How can I draw uppoer layer without earser?

Excellent Video, thank you!! With some whiteboard applications, I've seen where a hand will look like it starts at the middle of the page and it looks like it pulls the scene down to go to the next scene, will Doodly do that? thanks.

What if I wanted to keep the text and delete the old man? That's what I'm struggling with. I have an element come up at beginning of the scene, and there some other stuff comes in, and by the end of the scene, I wanted to delete that first element and keep the rest on the screen. Is there a way to do that?

do you have a undo button like Command mess up and don't have to cancel the whole project and start all over again. Thanks

How would you do a background remove from a imported jpeg photo? Is there a hack we can do? If doodly can do I won't need to purchase a competitor platform. Cheers

Just set the Delay.
I will start erasing after the time set on delay.
Works for me like: 1st item no delay, 2s erasing duration them 2nd item, 2s delay and 2s erasing duration.
Simple

Doodly needs to find a way to make this happen without invisible items!

I love Doodly, only it works to slow although I am buying new computer with high quality. I would love the most if it animated abit just like VVond. I appreciate the your response on messenger chat both Toobly.
