CREATING CUSTOM ANIMATIONS IN VIDEOSCRIBE
In this class, you will learn how to create your own vector SVG images or to use purchased vector images for use in VideoScribe or other whiteboard animation software.
We will be using Adobe Illustrator and VideoScribe to build images that animate the way you want them to. This class assumes you have some working knowledge of each piece of software.
By the time you finish this class you’ll know how to create an animated SVG from a purchased or hand-drawn vector image, how to speed up or slow down the animation, how to add color, and how to either have the color load in or be ‘scribbled in’ on screen.
Lesson 1: Finding your ideal vector image
Lesson 2: See how your vector will be rendered in VideoScribe

Wow, great class that shows all the specifics on how to get your animation to work properly! I've been looking for something like this so I can make my own vector characters. Can't wait to try it out.
It was a good quick class on video scribe animation in conjunction with Adobe Illustrator. I would highly recommend this class to novice video scribers or animation enthusiasts in general to see a glimpse of the beautiful realization of what you could imagine only, using state of the art tools.
I'm new to VideoScribe and to the powers of SVGs. I wanted to see quickly between my other work how this tool could enhance my current projects. I was happy to see that the topics and the length of the videos were perfect! Melissa is a great instructor, keeping my attention with a clear voice and easy to understand step by step instructions that are intelligently simplified to help me feel like I can tackle these types of animations. I will definitely recommend Melissa's tutorials to my fellow graphic artists. Thanks!
