Vyond Tutorial for Beginners (2024)

I teach the basics of how to create a new scene, add characters, make them move, and export your video.

You get my best tips on explainer videos and animation in general. And, I show you around Vyond Studio, so you can get familiar with the interface.

A lot of Vyond users like my previous tutorials on this online animation maker, so I thought I'd make a 2024 version.

If you want to take your video creation skills to the next level, I have a suite of courses on my website.

To become a great animation maker, you need skills in scriptwriting, voice-over recording, and animation.

But, we all start somewhere, and for new Vyond users who are just beginning to get into this space, my Vyond course called Ready Set Vyond is your next step.

Oh man. You just made a lot of us feel REALLY old when you talk about learning PowerPoint in elementary school. 😂😭

This was a great video, thank you Rued. Very clear and you just dropped pearls of hard-won wisdom left and right.

[stevehk]

Very helpful for a complete novice who is starting out making animated tutorials. Thank you!

[Southwestsanitation]

I’m glad that people here acctually use vyond still

[LoffysDomain]

Great video, thx for sharing. At 18:40, it's quite spectacular how light adds to a scene in terms of warmth and depth.

[elizabethlyon]

Such a helpful video thank you!! Also I could listen and watch you all day long haha

[saroshhuman]

Haha, after you made Santa walk, I was thinking how could I make Santa look in the camera, and that's the next thing you showed us! That's sign of a good teacher who knows what his students are thinking :D

[teejaygirl]

Thank you! Nice clear intro. I appreciate how you gave other tips to enhance our professionalism so even if we are beginners, it doesn't have to look like it. (LOL!) I'll be checking out that course on your website.

Thank you for this video and your many videos about Vyond! Is there an upper limit for the duration of an eLearning video made in Vyond? Can I create a 30 minute "Hazards in the Workplace" video using Vyond?

[BilingualAfricanFolktales]

Thanks for this tutorial 😊. Can you upload your own images and animate the characters at least?

[helen-matthews-usa]

not a difficult program at all (comparing to Adobe AE). PS Just off top - spruce and fur-trees don't change their colour during the Fall season)

[HB-bdhf]

Can you post more videos like this in detail about character animation and which software and tools are the best for them?

[denisbonfils]

THANKS. However, on YouTube, I didn't find any well-made professional videos with the help of VYOND software. Could you point me to one or more of these videos? I find it hard to believe in the effectiveness of VYOND.

[jonathacarr]

Hi please advise how many characters can be added in one scene. For example, can I add 10 characters to one scene.

[Rory-gmd-old]

Now I can make a video of a bald child getting grounded

[christellelabelle]

Can integrate a Vyond video into my PowerPoint presentation?
