Week 5 - Biteable vs Powtoon & Animaker

     What is the best application to make an animated video? Is it Animaker, or Powtoon? This is a question where each and every video maker gets stuck. I have the experience of using both applications, which is why I can give you some advice to help you choose the best.
 
    There are many similarities as well as differences between the two. They both have great animated characters, objects, and other background effects. But unfortunately, some of their characters, objects etc. are not available in the free version, which is why you have to upgrade the account. You can add your own images, or your own music! You have to manage time, in order to make different things appear and disappear. (It also takes a long time to manage it.) If you are a fast learner, both applications are very easy to get used to. (They are not very complex like other video makers, once you get used to them you can make videos in minutes!) Both of the applications are constantly adding cool new features. You can export your video to anywhere, including YouTube, email etc.
     
    Well, those were some similarities of Powtoon and Animaker. But there are also many differences between them. For free version, users can only create a video of 2 minutes in Animaker, and a 5 minutes video in Powtoon. The maximum duration time for one slide in Animaker is 15 seconds, while maximum in Powtoon is 10 seconds. Powtoon has more free characters compared to Animaker, but in Animaker, there are a lot of actions and expressions. Animaker has more props compared to Powtoon. In Animaker, we can make 2D, infographic, or a handcraft video, while Powtoon has a lot of layouts instead of modes. Until now, Animaker has 8 tutorials, and Powtoon has 6.
     
     Now you know something about both video makers. Both Animaker and Powtoon have many similarities as well as differences which makes it hard to choose one of these applications. That’s why I recommend you use Biteable.
 
    Biteable is a time saving and a fun application. It has many cute animations, which have a limited time and text option. (All you have to do is choose the suitable animation for your text.) You can type more than 50 letters in one slide. But since you don't have to manage time, it saves a lot of time. Even though there are many images, music and different effects available, it still allows you add your own images and music. Not only it is simple and fast, but it is also fun!
 
    Just because I like Biteable doesn't mean that I don't like Powtoon and Animaker. You can actually use all three for different purposes. What do you think? Which is better, Powtoon, Animaker, or Bitable? Do you have any other suggestions?

     Here are some useful videos to know about these 3 video making apps...

Hi Thanumi,
I never knew there were so many similarities between powtoon and animaker. I have never used animaker before but It sounds really fun to use. I really like using powtoon because it's easy to learn what to do and great for school presentations. Come and check out my blog here's the link! http://isabellw617.edublogs.org/

Hi Isabel!
Yes, you should try using animaker! It is fun although it takes a long time to finish a video. If you want to create a video easily, I recommend you to use biteable! It is a very friendly and a fun application. Have fun!

All of them are good at their own level, it just depends what is your main purpose for using that tool.

Hi Thanumi, thanks for the information. As a teacher I was looking for apps to make animated videos for and with my classes. A couple of years ago I discovered a fantastic app called Plotagon, which allows you to make 3D animations simply by typing. It's supersimple to use (even ten year olds can create an animation) and it's available for Mac/PC/iOs/Android It's free but you can purchase extra scenes and characters.

Biteable vs Powtoon & Animaker both are one of the best photo editors in the world and in this blog, you can read some differences between them and you can also see which one of the editor will be good for you.

Hi Thanumi, if you want to make 3D animations, there's a fantastic app called Plotagon, which is super simple to use even if you've never made an animation before. It's available for PC, Mac, iOS and Android. Although it's not so useful for graphs and the like (there is a green screen where you can add in your own backgrounds through a 3rd party app), it's great for story telling and introductory videos. All you have to do is write some dialogue. You can either record your own voice or use the TTS voices. The app itself is free and comes with some basic scenes and characters but you can buy many extra scenes and assets. You can also create your own characters. More info: https://plotagon.com.
