Creating Animated Explainer Videos

Frank submitted the following:

"Creating animated explainer videos used to be a highly specialized skill set that companies paid thousands of dollars for. Today, just about anyone can make their own animated videos using off the shelf tools. One of my favorite animation programs is called Vyond, formerly known as GoAnimate. With a little bit of patience and practice you can learn to create fun videos that will engage your audience. 

Vyond comes with a myriad of props, backgrounds and characters that are all capable of moving. You can even  synch your voice with the characters so it appears they are talking. It's fun to learn and the finished product looks great. For those of you who want to test it, there is a free trial version you can download here. Enjoy!"
