Animaker Enhances Educational Video Design
Animaker is a perfect platform supporting novices to create engaging animated videos for educational or marketing purposes. Recently I had the opportunity to explore the app while designing an instructional video for a professional development course. As an educator seeking to improve my instructional game through the use of AI tools, I found Animaker to be just what I needed. The application provides a one-stop-shop with all the tools needed for animated video design including characters, landscapes, music, AI voice overs, text features and more. I love the video I designed and believe the animated video story will engage my students in learning an otherwise boring literary lesson. A couple difficulties included struggling to guide the AI voiceover to emphasize certain words and struggling to turn down the background music volume. However, these issues may be limitations of the free version of the program. My best wish would be for an option to purchase the Starter Package at $25.00 per month (rather than paying the annual fee up front) to help me affordably try out the program to see if it is worth the investment.
