Have you ever wanted to create your own
animation videos, but you just think it's too hard.
Luckily, there's Animaker that lets you create animation videos really easily.
I bet you that after watching this video, you're going to feel confident and you're
gonna build your own animation wideo right away.
There's a bunch of characters that you can
customize, their expressions, their movement, their keyframes.
And there's a lot of things that you can customize that makes Animaker really good.
Let's go jump over to Animaker to show you what it's all about.
My name is George.
This is SaaS Master and let's head on over to my desktop right now.
Alright, this is the Animaker homepage.
If you guys want to check it out, the link will be in the description.
So let's go jump over to my Animaker dashboard.
Now, there's a lot of things going
on in the Animaker dashboard, but don't worry, everything's super easy to use.
So first off, we can create a blank
project depending on the size of the project that we need.
For example, there's a horizontal video
which is 16:19, which is what we mostly see.
For example, what you're viewing right now is 16:19.
Our TVs are 16:19.
So if that's what you want to use,
just select it and we can get started right away.
We can start from a blank project or from a template if we need different sizes.
Well, there's a bunch of them available or custom size video.
Next thing we see our project is that we've worked recently.
We're gonna see those there templates.
We have the templates that has been added
this month and just to give you an example, it's October 9 and they
already added all these templates from October.
So there's a bunch of templates getting added really quickly.
Okay, next thing we have our categories,
which is cartoon videos and we're gonna view examples here.
If you like something, we can use it.
Video Ads invites social media, Instagram, Square and heads up.
Aside from creating animation videos, you can also create normal ads.
So you have two options here.
Create animation videos and normal videos.
There's intros outros and all that good stuff on the left.
Let me go through these really quickly.
You can view my projects, which is what you work recently shared with me.
If you have teammates brand kid, so you can add your own logo and information.
So you work more quickly with your brands.
Well, the ads that you're creating,
for example, you can add your brand logo, the color palette that you work recently.
So for example, if you're always using
a certain shade of green and blue or whatever, you can add the color pilot
right here, you can add your own fonts brand characters.
So creating a character that you're always
using for that brand so you don't need to create it every single time.
The intro and out for wideo the brand
video templates and the brand templates.
Okay, let's go back to our dashboard.
Let's go get started with one of these templates so we can get started and show
you what the actual magic is with Animaker.
So let me choose one of these templates and we'll choose this lady.
You can see that if I Hover over
a template, it's going to animate it, and I'm going to see how it actually works.
If I like it, I can use it or I can skip to another one.
Or, like I mentioned before, use a blank template.
So in this case, let's go ahead and use this one.
I don't know what it's for, but let's find out.
Okay, so they have templates for dentists,
for veterinaries for just whatever you need.
Okay, so she's saying Hello.
I'm Susan,
and let me show you really quickly what the Canvas is so you can work around.
But the first thing that I want to cover
is the animation of the character really quickly.
On the left, we have our options.
So, for example, for our assets,
our characters, our fonts, backgrounds, music, and all those settings over here,
and then you pop up the menu for those in the center.
We have the Canvas to work with on the top,
we have the full version and the light version.
If you don't want to get over complicated
and there's too much settings going around, go into the light version.
Next thing we have is the play to play all
the scenes instead of just one single scene.
If you want to play one single scene, you'll find that right here.
Okay. We can share it via link.
We can publish it to export as a video.
And yes, you can export up to 4K,
and then we have our scenes on the right and on the bottom we have our timeline.
Okay, we have timeline for character
timeline for the video and timeline for the camera.
Okay. Highly customizable, remember?
Okay.
So like I mentioned for let's get started with the sweet stuff.
So first off is we want to see how flexible are the characters.
I mean, how much can we do with them?
Well, if I select the character,
we're gonna get pop up options here and on the right.
So let me show you really quickly.
If we want to animate it for the action, we can click on it.
If you want to make more action, click on.
Plus, if we want to use a voiceover, we use this.
If we want to animate it by key frame, which is something I really love.
We could do it through here.
Now, what is the key frame?
Let me click on it. Okay.
I've selected.
So when the video starts, there's already one keyframe working.
Okay, so that means that it's gonna move
from this point to that point, but it doesn't stop there.
We can animate it further, which makes this more flexible.
Like I mentioned before.
That's something I really like because professional Editors work that way.
You have keyframes.
Okay, let's just say that I want to move
it somewhere else, just for reference, just for playing.
Let me move the playhead to the front over here.
And now I have a little plus button that I can work with.
That little plus button lets me add another keyframe.
So let me click on it.
And now I'm able to move the character and we see the line dots move.
What is that telling me?
It's telling me that this character is going to move that certain way.
So for example, if I position it there, well, let me play this smart move,
see if it's something I like play and that's why it's going to move.
I can move this key frame if I like to make it even slower,
or I can make it even faster by moving it from the timeline on the bottom.
If I want to add more key frames,
I put my key frame over here and I'll click plus and I'll add another one.
Move it around.
Let me click play.
Obviously, this is not something that looks good,
but I'm just trying to show you what is possible with the keyframes.
Okay, if I want to apply it, I'll click apply.
In this case, I won't because that's not
going to look good because it's just six zagging.
All right, we have the color settings, the swap.
So for example, if you want to swap it
with another character, we click on this one.
If we want to add in additional
characters, we don't use swap, we just put it inside.
Okay. Next thing we have is flip.
If you want to flip it from there
settings, lock it if you don't want to move it anymore.
So let's just say that you have a lot
of things going on, like text behind it and all of that.
And you don't want to move your character
because it's just placed the way you want it.
You can lock it.
Okay, now let's go over to the actual settings for the animation.
Okay, first off,
we have the actions and it's gonna seem crazy, but they have a ton of actions.
I'm not trying to sweet talk this, but check this out.
I'm gonna scroll through this and there's a bunch of actions.
I'm scrolling scrolling, check all of these
bunch.
There's just more and more.
So I recommend that depending on what you need.
For example, us swimming.
And let's use swimming for this. Okay.
And I have these options available.
So let's make her swim.
Okay, she's in the swimming pool.
Now let me drag her over here and there we go.
So just by searching one of the actions,
we have several things that we can do, but let's use, for example, standing talking.
Alright, that's a simple one and something
that you would use commonly for animation videos because you want to explain
something that could be something that we want to use.
Next, we have the expressions.
So just imagine we have all those combinations of animations.
Plus, we have the expressions.
So it's highly customizable. Okay.
And that's not the best part. Okay.
So if I want to make her sad, the expression is going to change it's.
Gonna be angry.
Stared.
I don't know what you call that.
That's an unimpressed,
confused, super angry, astonished, sleepy, evil poker face.
And you can just go on and on with the animations.
Okay. Now what else can we do?
So, for example, we can swap the character
if this is not what we wanted, let's use this guy.
Let's use this police officer.
Okay, there we go.
We have this police officer,
we can apply it and just just saw we swapped it really easily.
Okay. Okay.
Another thing that I like and this is one
of the best parts is creating your own character.
Okay, let's get started and we have a menu selector.
So is it a boy?
Is it a he a sheet or a girl?
So let's go with he. Alright.
And then we have these type of characters.
We can customize these.
This is not where we stop.
Let's find someone that kind of looks like me.
I'm thinking this guy.
Okay, what shade of skin is he?
So let's go with this.
Yeah, that's fine. Okay.
The type of hair or no hair.
So let me find it here.
Let me see.
Thing is this one right there. Okay.
That's a good one.
Next thing we have is the hair color.
It's black,
black.
Also.
Alright.
And then we have the face shape.
So I honestly don't know what my face shape is, but, I mean, you can play around
different type of shapes. Okay.
Let's get that mustache. Yep.
No, that's too big.
Okay, that's more like it up.
And let's go with slack.
Oops clicked on that slack, the eyes.
We want to change the eyes, the eyebrows, the nose, the lips.
And you could just play on and on with this.
Let me go down.
You can change their sunglasses or ears, their clothes.
They are.
I mean, just a bunch of things that you could do here.
Now imagine all these combinations give you millions and probably even billions
of combinations to make something unique based on all these settings that we have.
But let's just say, for example, because we don't want to make this video
super long that this is a character that we like.
Okay, so let's go ahead and save
now that our character is created, let's go back into our design.
Okay. Here's the characters.
Let's go into the plus again.
And this is where we're going to find our customized characters.
So again, let's swap this.
Well, let's bring in the two of them.
Okay. There's two of them.
Let's Resize them. So they're practically the same.
A little bit smaller.
Right about there.
That's kind of right. Okay.
Now we have two characters here. Okay.
And that way we can work with characters.
This is my character that I just created again.
Like I mentioned before, you can create your own customized
character based on all the settings that are available.
So let's get rid of this one.
Now, bringing this guy here.
This is my character.
And that's for the characters like I mentioned before,
we can edit their keyframes by checking that out on the bottom.
The next thing we have are the font settings.
Again, we can keep framing the fonts, so they move also.
And by moving them.
Well, you can make a bunch of movements available here's.
A key frame can actually go like that.
Okay, let's test it out.
Okay, that's too fast.
Let me move the key frame.
Okay, that slow.
Did you see how we can even move it like that, like 360 degrees.
If we like with that, let me remove it.
We have our settings on the right for the fonts.
We can change the font style.
Remember, we can upload our own font.
We can upload it in the brand assets or upload it here to have it ready.
The size, the color bold,
italic underline the alignment, the letter space, and the transparency.
If you need to make it more transparent
and effect for the enter an effect for the exit.
And we'll see these effects right here.
And these effects can also also be changed time frame just in case it's too fast.
So for example, let me click play on the whole video.
Let's wait for that to load.
Okay.
So you saw that the
that the text jumped in after 1 second and it already had an effect.
This effect is reflected on pink.
So if I Shorten this, it's gonna move really quickly.
If I make it longer, it's gonna move slowly.
So that's how the keyframes also work for the effect in the beginning.
And if we want to add an exit effect, we click on it.
And we have all these options for exit effect.
Highly customizable,
super easy to use if we want to bring in other type of objects.
Well, that's also possible.
So let's click on this little cup right here.
And we have gradient shapes.
Gradient with text icons, office emojis stickers.
You can search through them because there's a bunch of them.
Okay. If we want to bring in some text
that already has templates, well, we can choose from all these available here.
Okay. And then we can go ahead and edit them.
If I just click on one, it's added there, move it around.
We want to edit it, double click on it, and we just edit there.
Get rid of it. Delete backgrounds.
If you want to change the background,
maybe something a little bit more gradient.
That's not really gradient there, but you can change them.
See that there work with something that you need.
There's a bunch of backgrounds that you can use.
For example, if you want to bring in a scene
for a Beach, let's just say you're making some tour ID animation videos for a beach.
Well, just add the beach on the background and start working with it.
So for example,
beach.
Alright, enter.
We get all the beach backgrounds that we
can use to start an animation or if you want to upload.
Obviously you can upload your own.
We have images available here.
There's a ton of images that you can search stock free images.
We have videos.
If you want to add again a ton of them, I recommend you search for something
that you actually need because there's so many we have the music.
So if you don't like the music that comes
with sorry if you Hover over it, it's going to play if you don't like
the music that comes from the template, well, we can edit it.
For example, here is the music on the bottom
of the timeline, and if we don't, we can play it.
We can change the volume, we can trim it, clone it and delete it.
If we don't like it, we delete it.
And then we can add a new one.
If I Hover over a music track, it's going to play.
Let's just choose this one for demo purposes.
And now it's added.
Now, from what I've heard, there's thousands of music songs royalty
free that you can use without any problems.
So add them to your videos and export them.
Okay.
Next thing we have is the special effects.
So there's effects with movement.
Let me add it there.
We have some balloon effects.
There's more effects that we can play
around with depending on the mood or the type of video that you're adding.
These are pretty nice for a video.
If you want to get some reactions or
you're talking about something for reactions and we can export also.
So right now we've been working on scene number one.
We have more scenes available when we choose them.
So we go through the scenes right here.
If we want to edit scene number two,
we just click on it and start editing if we think scene two should be scene three.
Well, we can just drag it to the bottom
and now it becomes scene three instead of two.
So now these play along.
If you want to watch this video, we just click play.
You can see the timeline going on.
The bottom
student is going to jump to scene two, which you can see right here.
Okay, now it's a really good example
that we just saw right now that the team number one is super long, right?
So we're thinking it's too long is just too redundant.
Well, there's a little plus and minus button right here.
Each minus that we do is going to remove 1 second to it.
So for example, C number one should be
much quicker so we can leave it at 3 seconds.
Just an example.
If we click play now,
scene one is just going to be 3 seconds and the other ones whatever seconds they
are, but we can reduce them and make them larger.
Like I mentioned before, everything's just super easy to use.
And if you think that this is too over
complicated, like I mentioned before, you can go into the Light version and just
everything goes really easily and it's just more easy to edit.
Okay, so for example, for characters,
you go for text, foreground, background, everything's more easy to use on the Light
version, but obviously you're loosing some functionalities, but it's better to use
the full version if you are comfortable with it.
Next thing we have is the settings for the timeline of the video and the camera.
We can customize these also for zooming in.
Zoom in now making those kind
of animations and that's also available through Keyframes.
And if you're ready.
And if you like the video that you just created, well, here comes the end.
Let's go ahead and publish for publish.
We can download the video download as
a GIF, share it to Facebook, YouTube, or other downloads.
Let's choose wideo because that's going
to be one of the ones that you're going to use the most.
And like I mentioned before,
you can export up to 4K if you have that option available in your plan.
So all the way up to 4K file type, MP, four MOV, MV, FLV, and all these available
so you can download for whatever type that you need.
Okay, if you're done download it's gonna
start rendering and then you can download it.
But there you go.
That is Animaker like I mentioned before.
It's just going to depend on your
imagination what creations you're going to create with your videos.
And obviously depending on the business
niche that you're on, it's gonna depend on the video that you're
going to create, but it's super easy to use.
Create your own character, bring them in at the expression that you
need animated with keyframes and the movement that it has.
And that way you can create your own original creation for an animation video.
Plus, you can probably make a lot of money by selling these type of videos.
If you have your own marketing company,
well, you can make these videos to offer them to your clients,
and if you're using it for your own business, well, it's super easy to use
and you don't have to pay someone else to create animation videos.
Well, there you go, guys. My name is George.
This is SaaS Master, and I'll see you guys later.
