Week 5 - Biteable vs Powtoon & Animaker

Click on any logo to visit the image site! (But the screenshotted images are mine.)

     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?
