Hey Doodlers! Im so excited to share with you that I've created an advanced class for Doodly whiteboard animators! 🔥🔥🔥I show you all of my best workarounds to make your Doodles really come to life. Check it out at www.jennjager.com.
Oh I am guessing you ended up quite happy with doodly after this review.
Nice work, Jenn. This is one of the best reviews/demos I’ve ever seen. Your explanations are clear and pick up on issues that add time and frustration to using the software. Love it!
Jenn, you showed me more about Doodly in 20 minutes than the same time spent trawling their site. Exactly the in depth review I wanted.
Hilariously, at the exact point your play of the final product finished, UA-cam started playing the Doodly ad and it flowed in seemlessly. I was kinda confused till I realised the ad had stitched in.
If my planned video project is half as good as this I'll be deliriously happy.
Very useful review - and more instructive than many of the so-called "tutorials" about the software......thanks!!
This was hands down FANTASTIC. I too have been seeing the FB ads for this everywhere and as a content creator myself, have been wondering if it's worth taking advantage of the "75% discount" for lifetime access. Now I know what it's capable of, thanks so so much for this thorough review. 👏🏽
Your honesty and candor reviewing video software is a breath of fresh air in a “web” of confusion. Your presence and voice is genuine. As a teacher of video production, your reviews allow me more time with students and less time wading through the ever changing market available for video software.
I really liked this review- really clear, to the point and balanced. Thanks so much.
The Powtoon review is now LIVE! Watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/ydTiSzwsCU4/v-deo.html
MyVideo101 Thank you～～
What is better - Powtoon vs Doodly?
I love the way you described it, its pleasure to keep in touch with your channel jenn
Thank you Jenn. This is an excellent video. I really like the way you explain the pro & con of doodly. I purchased Doodly @ $67 today before reading enough reviews... and only I see that so many people are so negative about the product. As Anthony is saying, if it is fully customizable, I will certainly give it a try with a positive mind.
Great video!!!
It really gave me what I needed to make an informed purchasing decision on the product; you saved me a bunch of time and effort.
I love that you don't up-talk or exhibit any other kinds of annoying speech patterns that seem so prevalent these days, especially on UA-cam. Your style is a breath of fresh air, and I truly appreciate it. Usually I cant get through videos of this nature in their entirety because the speech cadence of the presenter is like nails on a chalk board to me. Your very professional and well spoken, articulating things clearly.
That all being said, I wondered about the audio timeline issues and if perhaps using an audio editor like Audacity to chop up the voice-over would help make timeline editing any easier.
I’ve been looking at various whiteboard animation programs. Thank you for this video!
I was wondering about this product and now I know. Thank you for your professional approach to to a difficult decision.
I'm so happy to have found your channel. You really do very good reviews; no buzzwords, no bullshit. Legit! Keep it up!
Thanks for taking the time to do this. It's really helpful.
"She's not a lion tamer" HAHA - your videos actually make me laugh! They're so enjoyable and educational. Thanks for all the help!!
Just went through several of your videos and they were extremely helpful. Thanks so much!
How do you like it a year later.
Hey Guys! Thanks for all the great feedback on this video. Next week I’ll be posting a review of Powtoon. Subscribe if you don’t want to miss it!
MyVideo101 there aren’t many doodly videos on yt that provide this kind of value. In fact most that exist are outdated. May I request that you fill this void with a dedicated series?
Hi Soulvids, do you mean with other app reviews or Doodly specifically? I have lots of other product reviews in the works!
I purchased Doodly today for one of my clients. Thank you for your thoughts.
It was very helpful to learn about the camera zoom and pan function. I had never noticed that before! Thanks for sharing.
Who else thinks Jenn rocks?
Brilliantly frank, candid, engaging review.
I just bought Doodly yesterday. I'm working on figuring it out. Great video! Thank you
I have an updated video on this since so many things have changed in Doodly recently: ua-cam.com/video/GrttZNlDMFc/v-deo.html
I really enjoyed your video. It was good to see Doodly from the viewpoint of a video production professional.
I haven't looked at Doodky since I bought it in their prelaunch promotion. I think that might have been in 2016? I never did much with it. After I bought Doodly I discovered Explaindio and loved one feature of Explaindio that Diidky didnt offer.
That feature was to be able to take an image and do it as a line art drawing and then fade in the color image to replace the line art. They went ine step further however. You could do the same thing with a video.
In Explaindio you also had the ability to insert videos into scenes. The ability to add a transition from doing a line drawing if the first frame into the video starting to play made me choose Explaindio over Doodley.
I have not needed the whiteboard software in a while but I am starting a project where i believe it will be a useful tool.
I would like to hear what you think about Explaindio and if there are any other tools that are worth checking out.

I've bought a basic version of Doodly and will try it out soon after watching a few more UA-cam tuorials. Thanks!
I upgraded to add color
Great review, very balanced and helpful. Many thanks!
Thanks for your great review! Just want to see if this product is easy to use.
@6:20 , yes the need to "perfect" our audio first is a holdup at the desk. I figure on being ready to create a ScreenCast alongside my video so as to have something to edit the progression of the audio somewhat while being able to add/subtract further elements.
Nice job!
(New Subscriber!
Thank you for this awesome review. This really helped my decision of whether to buy doodly or not. And i love your unbiased review ☺
Did you buy it? Standard/Enterprise? Is it worth it?
Great video Jenn. I was thinking about Doodley, but after this video that's out. VERY time consuming - NOT 60 Seconds.
Not prepared to learn a whole new software when I can download free photos and add my own text in Final Cut...that works really well in our videos for now. I also liked and subscribed. All the best. Cheers!
I was thinking the same thing as a Premier Pro and Davinci Resolve user...why take ages learning a new software? However I really wanted the hand writing animation in my videos so decided to give doodly a shot and spend a day watching doodly videos and practicing it. It is so much easier to learn everything you need to know in one day unlike video editing software that takes forever! Now I use doodly to make a base video from my narration...then put that video into davinci resolve and add stuff in to enhance it. It is so good!
Thanks for the great review. You’re fantastic!
Great demo video. Thanks for that!
Thanks for this video, your are totally pointing me in the right direction - who did you use for voice over talent?
Hi Jenn! Thankee for this VERY useful tutorial.
I'm the marketer and have some questions about this topic:
1. For what video-formats (I mean guides, demonstrations etc.) Doodly will be handy most of all?
2. Could I mix up an animated video with real video (while editing process)? For instance, video on my phone + Doodly animation.
3. Maybe, we should pay attention to other services, which could be more cheaper and convenient? What could you advice?
Keep em coming Jenn and thanks
Loved your video. I am still wondering if it would help me make architecture drawing videos. But your review was definitely helpful! 😊
Thank you, good and clear review!
Thank you for the clear demonstration.
You are so charismatic! Thanks for the videos!
Thanks Jenn 👍🏻. This one really helped. Keep up the good work that you are doing. Regards, Shekhar
Thank you for your demonstration videos. Appreciate it alot!
Thanks Jenn for the review! How do you create the voiceover narrative audio? Was it done within Doodly or do you need another program? I think the narrative to go along with the animation is so important.
excellent video
i am looking to purchase Doodly or videoscribe... personally i dont like the idea of someone push marketing and misleading in their ad. However now i will watch videoscribe outcome if you have made one
Thanks dear you are a pleasing personality too
"Start with your voiceover"...must remember...thanks! I am hoping to use this for some glider (sailplane) instructional animations.
Thank you! I really wanted to get a feel for the work flow with Doodly. I really think I can make it work, but I wanted to be sure it's completely customizable.
This was a good overview...and I'm going to check out another one of your videos which is more currently. I own Doodly but haven't been using it much. I have been comparing Doodly with robust software like Camtasia (which I use all the time) and I can see that Doodly is limited in some ways but I started creating some educational videos. Thanks for your review!
Please do!
Thank you for the very helpful review!
You can time it to the voice over audio if you just observe the waveform while it's playing. Make a note of the time where the audio portion stops, silence shows as a valley in the waveform, then adjust your scene accordingly (move the end point in this case).
Yup, I noticed that, too; it cuts on the guessing game.
Thanks for sharing this, It was awesome seeing the things on the go.
Thank you for this great review. I've been considering using something like this for my business - personal training and nutrition for potential new clients as well as current clients. I think it's a great way of getting a message across without having my ugly mug on it lol. Definitely considering purchasing it :)
THANKS!! what is you favorite software for animated videos?
Great review. Considering the product.
Hey, saw your videos, appreciate you putting the time to review them in detail.
Question for you.
1 - Does Doodle enterprise one time payment include rainbow feature? (coloured characters)
2- Would you say that with the most recent feature updates done on the platform, has it come any closer to vidscribe?
Thanks a lot again
@@AjarnSpencer i see your point 🙏
Nice review and demonstration. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Great review video! Thanks so much.
Thanks for the real review. I got these doodly adverts too. It got me thinking of making phonics videos for my son who's struggling. This doesnt seem like a good product for that endeavor. Can you recommend a video making product for an average schlub who just wants to get his kids interested in phonics (and computers)?
I like the motion blur in the hand as it draws across the screen and the options for changing the background from white to chalkboard. I'm looking for something that I can create these kinds of animations quickly and add them to Priemere or After Effects. The doodle effect would cool for custom lower thirds. Is there another product you would recommend?
I just downloaded Doodly and your tips were very helpful.
Great video, very helpful, thanks!
I put together my first Doodly video. I think you did a good job reviewing it. It's not as robust as I had hoped it would be. It's good for producing a basic video but I wish it had more features. I had to figure out a lot of work arounds to get some simple affects like adding color to an image. What I like best about it is that it allows you to import your own images and add the drawing path (takes a long time but worth the outcome). I hope they keep adding more features and improving it.
Totally agree. It's about 80% of the way there.
Hi. Have you used video scribe? I am confused between doodly and video scribe.
@@AnalyticalME I have not. The only other one I've used is Easy Sketch Pro. It has some good features.
@@AnalyticalME I have tried video scribe...a bit more complicated. I wanted a simple software that is intuitive and straight to the point which is what doodly does well. I put my doodly videos into davinci resolve to enhance and finish it off.
Thank you for sharing this was well presented.
Great review. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! More to come.
Thank you - excellent review
Jenn,
As a Doodly owner..
And knowing that the time it take to make this video, you wouldn't have had time to see all the Master class instructions to do things like the black and white to color.. it is very doable..
If you should desire to become more proficient. You must see the master class..
Great review..
Thanks for watching! This is actually an old video made before those features were available. I have an updated review if you want to check it out.
at 9:26... "She's not a lion tamer" LOL LOL
thanks for the honest review.
Hi Jenn, thanks for everything that you share with us super usefull. Do you know if I can have a business bill for taxes?
awesome video Jenn. Thank you. May I ask what you are using for your microphone set up because I don't see a lapel mike and your sound comes out so clear on the video. This would be extremely helpful as I always struggle with this
Hi Allen, I show you my mic in this video: ua-cam.com/video/Fl8Evby-y4s/v-deo.html
Thanks for honest video !
Hey Jeen. Congratulations for your time and your work. Question for you. What do you think about Doodle Maker? Can you make review about it? I will appreciate to know your opinion. I never made a video animation and I don't know know about this. I would like to buy an app and I have watched some reviews about some apps. I like doodly whiteboard animation, but there is no coloured characters in payment one. Am I right?
EXCELLENT WORK, THANKS
I have Doodly and how do you upload a picture to convert to a drawing? Need different pictures for my brand.
Hi, nice vid. Which app did you use for your voice over plsss?
Neat, short, yet informative. Thanks :)
Great video. I am looking to start an animated series on concussion and brain injury. Don’t know what platform to start it up. New follower from me
Very useful and informative video! Thanks!
You're welcome!
i just started playing with this platform yesterday. I picked up some tips from you. I was wondering if you could import your own images. I think you could probably use a program like Blender to create some of the characters or affinity photos which is cheaper than photoshop.
Great video! Very cool! Thank you!
I have Doodly and had created a couple video already, one thing that I struggle is, how to create a good script, do you have any tutorials or tips on creating a good script to work on
So I out a doodly video on facebook and they blocked it. I am wondering if they blocked it. Do you know how we can do this
Thanks for the tutorial - have you seen a whiteboard animation that can import powerpoint slides and include them into the animation sketch? - thanks
My first love on UA-cam.
Thank you so much for your interesting video.
From Malaysia
Thanks for the review !
So many of us are grateful for her videos! She is amazing. I am using what she has taught me, to teach casual American English. I am still learning more about the software.
Thanks for the review. Honest and informative. Questions: 1) Is it better to first choose the music to inform the tone and pace of the voiceover? 2) I doubt that Doodly has enough volume and quality of artwork to suite my taste. Who does better in that regard?
Good question. Whenever I hire narrators, I give them direction about the kind of read I'm looking for- happy, serious, whatever. A good VO person is like an actor. THEN I pick the music. I subscribe to Audioblocks (now called Storyblocks) which has thousands of tracks.
Thank You 😊 that was really nice 👍 I was wondering is there an option to add color to the already black and white doodles? Or do you have to import them?
You can use the Doodly Rainbow plugin to make any Doodly image into full color by clicking this: www.dropbox.com/s/4l6qt7v9faj0d0p/youtube_rainbow.jpg?dl=0 . or you can import your own color image into Doodly.
What platform would you recommend for more animated inforgraphics/explainer video to work with a product launch? I.e explaining benefits/results to sell an App.
Thanks!
Thank you , great video
Nice demonstration. Really it's very much useful for me.can u suggest me whether I start my teaching profession with it?
I use it to teach English, but I am still learning to use Doodly too. I look forward to seeing more channels using Doodly.
hi J ! greatful for your videos...they really help a lot..... question.....can you make a video on how much should a producer/creator charge for whiteboard...blackboard..glassboard....chalkboard....and also toonly videos etc in generals?
TBH, I hate to do that because there are so many variables when it comes to pricing. Experience, geographic location, the length of the final deliverable etc. If I gave prices I feel like I might be inadvertently setting expectations that could limit someone's income. You might want to start by deciding what your hourly rate is worth to you, and then see how long it takes you to make a minute of finished video. The number of hours it takes x the number of minutes per finished video could determine your rate. Thanks for watching :)
Great video, really helpful !
Great review thank you
Jenn Jager can you please review on explaindio? I would love to see that from you... 💜
Thank you for the video. I purchased Doodly and I feel like I got more information on how to build a video from you than I received from Doodly. I feel they could have a video that shows a start to finish video as you did. Maybe they will? I still like it though. thank you.
Hey Gary, please be sure to watch our tutorial videos. I think they'll help you a lot, if you've not yet watched them. www.doodly.com/tutorials
Is there any tool by we can create a Facebook video ads by uploading images.
What do you recommend for converting a pic of a person to a character that can be imported for use with Doodly?
Thanks for Sharing I will definitely go with Toonly
Liked your review of doodly you really tested it out well I bought it to enhance my own UA-cam channel by adding some cool animation , I also have toonly which does some other animations and i would like to know what you would think of that app, I like that one as I have already done a couple of good animations on my channel so please try it out!
Thank you for reviewing this software, although I think I would have been less frustrated and actually watched your video entirely if you had run an example of the finished video first to build engagement and interest, then broke down your process, these explainer videos work much better if peek your audience's interest or they have a finished image in mind to share your interest and understanding of the steps you are expanding on from the start rather than holding their attention hostage for the climax in the end with the video reveal. This likely serves those who own the software well because you do go into great detail. The truth is I was hoping this would be a good introduction for my daughter, who has been all over me to download Vyond for her, and I have been trying to find her something a little more affordable I thought your video might be a little more influencing for her than it was, even still it is a great video I am sure for those who do own the software and are aware of what the finished videos look like. Thank you again!
Is the voice that comes out in the video edited to what one wants to say or is it preset?
there is an enterprise version. Would it be worth it over normal?
