Doodly uses svg vector paths, which means if you use Inkscape you can literally draw the lines in a program built to use vectors. No more endless clicking. Each vector line you draw in Inkscape is a line doodly will trace. If you color over you png image in inkscape with vector strokes, then before exporting to svg set those strokes to transparent. Doodly will upload the png with the strokes already set up. It’s just better because they are so much easier to draw in inkscape. Also you can trace line images using centerline trace which will save you a ton of time. Realize also that the line width control in doodly is actually a function of the svg vector image not soemthing unique to their platform a thicker stroke in Inkscape is a thicker stroke in doodly. It’s a clever program but they didn’t reinvent the wheel. MAkes sure you remove any transforms though as that will affect line width.
Very helpful. Is there By need for background music? As this is a dense informational video. I am neurodivergent and find background music distracting.
Had discovered the draw paths before, but this training filled in some of the gaps in my knowledge, including the whole bit about SVG paths. Really appreciate having all these training videos at our disposal.
Absolutely LOVE this! I may not be the best at the artwork, but wow! I really appreciate the added flexibility of being able to add my own! .svg images are the best!
I'm loving the software, what I believe it really needs is called a "Transport" so that video and audio can be rewound, paused and played (I know it has a play/pause button while in preview mode) but we need better control in the workspace timeline for audio such as "split at playhead" (slice audio) which would allow better editing on the build.

I really enjoyed this tutorial! I can see how the draw path is key to creating a video that is really fun to watch - because it looks as if it is being drawn in real time.
hello, good afternoon. excellent video. I have a question, can I import an image of a diagram, and can I have it drawn in order? start at one point and continue like that? and up to how many seconds or minutes maximum, only one image can last. I need it to be very slow. Thanks for your help.
Thank you for these helpful videos! Can someone please tell me if it's possible to program an asset an asset to appear without being sketched? I get the "no hand" option, but can it appear all at once? If so, how? Thanks in advance!
Is it possible to add a video file (.mp4) on Doodly? In my company we have a standard closing vignette for our videos and I would like to know if it's possible to use that with Doodly. Thanks!
Thanks Pamela, but how about a JPG image? seems that the JPG/JPEG image that I imported and use into the presentation it had a lot of black spots on it, it wasn't a clear image
Hi! For a color-filled illustration, is it possible to make the hand draw the lineart, then make another path for filling the color inside? Also, is there a limited number of reveal points you can add in one path? Thank you in advance!
This was very helpful for importing my own assets! I'm still feeling a little sketchy on paths. Is there a video that gives a little more detail on this?
Thanks for the feedback. We're working on releasing more content in the future. If you need further assistance, please send us an email at support@doodly.com
Hi, is it possible to set the path size for several paths at the same time ? when we have 50 paths we have to change it 50 times and it's annoying thanks .
hi there can you please me help me find the right size and format of the path i can download on doodly, i'm currently using also envatoelements website and i would like to know if i can download from there more path due to the fact that for things i need doodly don't have much i can use unfortunately, even on a full version, thank you so much in advance
Thanks for the tutorial. On my computer, the Action Window is quite small because the bottom section where the scenes and music, etc are taken up a lot of space. How do I enlarge the action window. At the moment, it is challenging to rearrange the paths when I have more than 2.
Hi! You can change the resolution upon export and you can also use a separate video editing tool to crop your video the way you would prefer. Kindly contact support@doodly.com if you need more guidance on how to do so. Thank you!
Thank you for all these tutorials, they have been extremely helpful :) Just a quick question, when importing an image and using the path function, for some reason the entire image gets drawn out after the paths are drawn. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi! I would advise reaching out to support by emailing support@doodly.com so that the team can look into this issue and provide some additional insight. Thank you!
Hi Doodlers … my videos are looking for a Doodly to draw circles, and draw lines and arcs within circles, etc. Anybody found such a capacity in the Marketplace?
This is amazing.. I'm a UA-camr, I make Drawing tutorial. I'm looking for a software that would Enable me to draw without showing my hand. And make slow Drawings, very unique. Can I use doodly?

Hi! We do not support animation movement in Doodly. You can however import custom moving GIF images if you'd like to add animation to your Doodly projects.
I am trying to do simple drawing videos to teach my grandchildren (in a different state) how to draw. Like, for example, I have a simple line drawing of a dachsund. So I imported the simple drawing, create the paths, set it up to pause between paths so I could talk between drawing the lines, and did all the paths for the dog and the ground under his feet. First, no path (like the red path) shows up; next, when I hit preview, the screen comes up blank, the blue line shows all across the bottom, no hands draw, nothing until the entire dog appears, all drawn in. WTH?

Great video tutorial but how do you make that blue circle to draw the attention and blue curved arrow?
It's from a third-party program to help me show the features of Doodly.
Thank you for this tutorial. I would like to be able to trace paths using my Apple Pencil and iPad Pro. Are there instructions for that?
Hey Tom! We don't have a version for the iPad yet. It's currently compatible with either a MAC or a Windows computer.
Awesome!

Nice tutorial! One suggestion: The car should have sped off to the right as the speed lines indicated motion that favored that direction.
Thanks for the tip!
Hi! For a color-filled illustration, is it possible to make the hand draw the lineart, then make another path for filling the color inside? Also, is there a limited number of reveal points you can add in one path? Thank you in advance!

Thank you :) We love our Doodlers too!
Can Doodly draw circle, triangle, etc. of different sizes?
Can Doodly do complicated paths, like a building sketch?
This was really nice! I wanted to know if there's anyway I can make a vertical/portrait video in Doodly?

Cool Tutorial. Is the path saved with the imported image for future use ? Or does it needs to be redefined each time I use the image in a vidéo ?
It's saved for future use :)

Hi Doodlers … my videos are looking for a Doodly to draw circles, and draw lines and arcs within circles, etc. Anybody found such a capacity in the Marketplace?
Great... what about erase paths? If I want a slower erase, it just does the standard diagonal wipe away, which doesn't look great.

Yes, you can do this with Doodly.
How do I get rid of the hand that points before it draws?
Would be good to select single words in texts and make bold, underlined, or italic for emphasis - without changing all the text.
Can we insert video presentation
