Animation presentation software is a category of software that allows users to create animated stories and overlays for explainer videos or presentations. Some of the software tools are made to work with live-streaming systems. Others are better suited to use for recording and editing videos that will be viewed by users later. Some are presentation systems that can be used online. Others offer an easy way to enhance a video presentation.

More and more organizations use explainer videos. This helps increase conversions in digital marketing campaigns. I made a thorough investigation to select the top 15 best animation presentation software and reviewed my favorites. There is no single one that is a winner overall, so the order they are listed is not as important as what the tools can do. I use many of these tools and some of them together, depending on the project that I am working on.

FAQs on the Best Animated Presentation Software

There is no one “best” animated presentation software. However, some programs are better than others at certain things. For example, some programs are better at creating cartoons or illustrations just like the Beautiful.ai , while others like Microsoft PowerPoint are better at creating slideshows or importing videos.

You can make an animated presentation for free by using Genially . If you want to create a professional-quality presentation, you may need to purchase a subscription to one of the paid programs.

The software that most professional animators use for their presentations is Microsoft PowerPoint . This software is very powerful and allows users to create complex animations and effects. Other popular choices include Prezi and Visme .

When you’re creating an animated presentation, it’s important to start with a storyboard. This is a series of sketches that show how your presentation will flow. Also, use powerful software and keep it simple. It is also important to use quality visuals and practice always.

The first thing to do is to consider your needs and objectives for the presentation. If you’re looking to create a more basic animation, then a program like Microsoft PowerPoint may be sufficient. However, if you want to create something more complex or professional-looking, you may need a more advanced program like Beautiful.ai .

Animation software can help to liven up dull or complex topics, making them more engaging and easier to understand. Additionally, animated visuals can also capture attention and hold interest more effectively than static slides.

Final Thoughts 

Animation software can help to liven up presentations and make them more engaging and understandable. Additionally, using visuals that are animated rather than static can capture and hold attention better. 

Animators have several software to select from while creating their presentations, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. For example, if you have a Mac, you may prefer to use Keynote . If you are an expert and looking for something to make your presentation more eye-catching, we recommend Beautiful.ai .

 However, animators looking to get software with a low budget will find Google Slides exciting, while Visme is an excellent choice for animators looking for a simple interface.

Genially in a nutshell

How do I make a presentation interactive and how does Genially work? Find the answers to all of your slide-related questions here!

What’s an interactive presentation?

Interactive slides contain clickable hotspots, links, buttons, and animations that are activated at the touch of a button. Instead of reading or watching passively, your audience can actively interact with the content.  

Genially’s interaction presentation software allows you to combine text, photos, video clips, audio and other content in one deck. It’s a great way to condense more information into fewer slides. 

If you’re a teacher, you can share multiple materials in one single learning resource. Students can create their own projects using digital media and online maps. For business or training, try embedding spreadsheet data, PDFs, and online content directly in your slides. 

An interactive slide deck is more user-friendly than a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation or Google Slides document. That’s because you can break information down into chunks with pop-ups, labels, voiceovers and annotated infographics.  

The other benefit of interactive content is increased engagement. It’s easier to keep your audience’s attention when they’re actively participating. Try Genially’s presentation software and free slideshow maker to see how it’s better than other presentation websites. You won’t go back to standard presentation apps!

How do you make a clickable slide?

The best way to make slides clickable is to use Genially’s free interactive presentation program. Design your slide then apply an interaction. In a couple of clicks, you can add popup windows, hyperlinks, close-up images, games, animations, multimedia and other content. 

Choose from the library of hotspot buttons and icons to show people what to click on. Go to Presenter View to get a preview and see how your content will appear to your audience.

How do I create presentations that look professional?

You’ve got a deadline looming and you’re staring at the screen with a blank presentation. We’ve all been there! Starting a presentation design from scratch is tricky, especially if you’re short on time. 

Genially’s free online presentation maker has over 2000 ready-to-use templates for professional slide presentations, photos slideshows, and more. Each slide design has been created by our team of top graphic designers. No need to worry about fonts, centering images, or designing a matching color scheme. It’s all done for you. 

Start by browsing our layouts and themes for education, business and then customize with your own text and images.

How do I share or download my slides?

Because Genially is a cloud based presentation software, you can simply share the link to your slides. Like other online presentation tools, there are no files to download or store on your computer. Everything is saved online.  

When you publish your slide deck, it gets its own unique url, just like a website. Share the link with others to let them explore the content in their own time. If you’re presenting live, just click the Present button. 

You can also embed your presentation on your website, company wiki, or social media. Genially is compatible with WordPress, Moodle, Google Classroom, and other platforms. If you use an LMS, you can also download your interactive design slides in SCORM format.

For slideshow videos and slideshows with music, share online or download as an MP4 video. Check out our free slideshow templates for ideas.

Animations are important for storytelling. Whether you’re in the gaming, entertainment, retail, architecture, or engineering industry, you can use animations to create attractive visuals for marketing your products or services. Animated videos also find an application in the e-learning industry to help visualize concepts and make learning easier for students.

Creating animations, however, is a time-consuming and complex process, and the complexity varies based on your desired animation type (e.g., 2D, 3D) and quality. Several underlying functions, even in simple animations, are effort-intensive. These include generating character skeletons, creating transitions, and assembling animated frames.

That’s where animation software comes into the picture. It offers features such as prebuilt templates, automatic light and color scheme adjustment, motion capture, and rendering to help automate the process of creating animations.

In this buyers guide, we explain the features and benefits of animation software as well as the considerations and market trends you should keep in mind when purchasing the software.

Here's what we'll cover:

What is animation software?

Common features of animation software, what type of buyer are you, benefits of animation software, market trends to understand.

Animation software is a software tool that automates the process of creating animated feature films, cartoons, GIFs, whiteboard animation videos, and other media. It allows design artists to create an animated video frame by frame, either from scratch or by using a prebuilt template. It also lets them import media files from other applications to add music or additional effects to their animations.

The software automates functions such as rendering videos, adding transitions, adjusting the background, syncing the audio, and creating bone structures to help reduce the time and effort required to create animations. It’s used in various industries including education, entertainment, advertising, marketing, manufacturing, and medical.

Prebuilt animation templates in Vyond ( Source )

It’s easier to select software when you know what its common features are. Let’s look at some of the common features of animation tools.

Before evaluating animation program options, you should assess the kind of buyer you are. The majority of buyers in this market belong to one of these categories:

Buyers looking for a professional-grade tool: These buyers include professional animation artists who need advanced software to create high-quality content. They need an animation app that can help create virtual reality scenes, animated films, motion graphics, animated characters, and graphical environments. These buyers should opt for an advanced animation tool that supports 3D modeling, rendering, character animation, bitmap drawing, and simulation, among other features. These advanced features will help them develop high-quality, professional-grade animations, which may be difficult to achieve with a regular tool.

Buyers looking for a tool suited to beginners: These buyers include animators or artists who’re just starting out. They need an animation maker that has basic functionality and will help them learn the ropes of designing animations. These buyers can opt for a free or low-cost animation tool that provides educational materials or training on creating animations. 2D animations, vector graphics, prebuilt animations, motion tracking support, and built-in character templates are some recommended features for this buyer category.

Here are the key benefits of choosing an animation platform:

Reduced time: Animation software tools help reduce the time it takes you to create animated media. Features such as prebuilt animation templates, character templates, and built-in transitions automate the process and make it easier to develop high-quality media, such as 2D animation, 3D animation, motion graphic, and stop motion animation.

Better quality: An animation software tool helps improve the output quality by letting you adjust lighting, shades, background colors, visual effects, and more. You can edit the animations for enhancing keyframes, scenes, or characters. You also have an option to highlight details; enhance the color schemes; and add music, audio, or voice-over to further enhance the animation quality.

Here are the latest animation software market trends that you should be aware of:

Collaborative cloud-based workflows are improving communication among teams. Producing animated movies requires as much teamwork as any other activity. Collaborative cloud-based workflows help ensure animation projects and related files can be easily shared within the team as well as with other departments. They allow for more efficient and easier access to resources, which facilitates collaboration. They also support digital communication via features such as instant messaging and live chat.

Increasing use of artificial intelligence in animation production. Artificial intelligence is being increasingly used as middleware for animation tools. The process of creating animations is time-consuming and involves a steep learning curve. Artificial intelligence technology can speed up the process by introducing a middle layer that automates much of the groundwork that goes into creating animations. It can, for instance, develop the skeleton of characters for human motion simulation to reduce the time and effort required to create animations.

How to Make Animated Presentations [Use Cases +7 Animation Tools]

Our content is reader supported, which means when you buy from links you click on, we may earn a commission.

Creating videos can be a great way to share your knowledge with the world, but it’s important to make sure they’re engaging and interesting. Animated presentations can help you do just that, by adding some visual stimulation to your content.

In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to make animated presentations, and share some tips on how to make them effective.

Let’s get started.

The Power of Animation

A well-designed animation can convey complex information in an easy way.

Animation in video can be used to tell stories, convey messages, and even promote products. A customer of Vyond reported a 38% boost in video sharing on social media platforms just by using animated videos.

Perhaps the most important use of animation is to educate. By its very nature, animation is extremely versatile. It can be used to explain complex concepts in a simple and engaging way.

This makes it an ideal tool for teaching difficult topics such as science and history in school. In fact, a Google 2020 report showed that younger generations seek out short tutorials and video clips like animations to help them learn and for entertainment.

In addition, animation can also be used to teach adults about new technologies and ideas.

Animated Presentations are Great for Your Business

Animated presentations offer a great way to make your business more engaging and exciting. By using animation, you can add visual interest to your presentation and make it more enjoyable for your audience.

By using animation to break down information into manageable chunks, you can help your audience understand and retain the information you are presenting.

In addition, animated presentations are a great way to add personality to your business. By infusing your presentation with your company’s unique voice and style, you can create a presentation that is truly memorable.

Tell a Visual Story to Create Engaging Presentations

You’re in a meeting, and the presentations are droning on. You’ve seen the same three slides for what feels like hours, but wait…is that a gif? And is it .. .moving? Suddenly, you’re riveted to the screen as the presenter brings their data to life with moving visuals. This is the power of animation.

By adding movement to otherwise static images, you can create engaging presentations that capture your audience’s attention and help them better understand complex concepts. Whether you’re using simple animations to highlight key points or creating richly detailed visual stories, animation can help you take your presentations to the next level.

Animation Keeps Attention

Animation offers a great way to keep your viewers’ attention. When used sparingly, it can add interest to an otherwise static image. Animation can also be used to highlight important information or to direct the viewer’s gaze to a particular area of the screen. However, it is important that you don’t go overboard with animation, as too much can be overwhelming and distracting.

Animations are Great Tools to Explain Complicated Concepts in a Simple Way

With animations, you can break down complex ideas into manageable chunks and explain them step by step.

This makes animations an ideal tool for teaching difficult concepts to students of all ages. In addition, animations can be a fun and engaging way to learn. They can help to hold attention and interest, and they can be used to review key points later on. Whether you’re trying to explain the laws of physics or the inner workings of the human body, animations are a great tool to have in your arsenal.

Animated Videos are Very Affordable and Easy to Make

Animated videos are very affordable and easy to make, and they can help you reach a wide audience. They also offer a unique way to tell your story and explain your products or services in an engaging and visually appealing way.

Animated Videos Impress and Convert

Animated videos grab attention and get your message across. They’re also highly effective at converting viewers into customers or clients.

The reason they’re so successful is that they’re able to engage viewers on an emotional level while also providing information in an easily digestible format. Animated videos are also highly shareable, meaning they have the potential to reach a wide audience.

Uses for Animated Videos

Awesome explainer videos.

If you’re looking for an engaging and effective way to explain your product or service, animated videos are a great option. You can create animated videos without coding skills or expensive software.

In addition, you can easily create professional animations with just a couple of clicks.

Whiteboard Animation

If you’re looking for a creative and engaging way to create videos, whiteboard animation is a great option.

Using simple illustrations and captivating narration, whiteboard animations can bring your ideas to life in a truly unique way. Plus, the medium is extremely versatile – it can be used for everything from educational videos to marketing campaigns.

Visualize Your Data

Animations offer a unique means for visualizing your data. By animating your data, you can see patterns and relationships that would otherwise be hidden. Animations can also help you to understand complex processes. For example, by watching an animation of a chemical reaction, you can see how the reactants interact with each other to form the products.

Instructional Videos

Animations can help bring instructional videos to life. By adding visuals, you can provide a more engaging and exciting experience for your viewers.

Animations can help to break up the monotony of a talking head vide o, and they can also be used to illustrate complex concepts. In addition, animations can add a touch of humor to your videos, making them more enjoyable to watch.

Best Animation Presentation Software

Presentations are a staple of the modern workplace. Whether you’re pitching a new product to potential clients or presenting your findings to your boss, being able to deliver an engaging and effective presentation is essential.

While there are a variety of software programs that can help you create a great presentation, not all of them are equally well-suited for animation. If you’re looking for the best animation presentation software, here are the top programs to take a look at.

1. Microsoft PowerPoint

Microsoft PowerPoint is the most popular presentation tool, with over 90 million downloads per month.

To create an animation in PowerPoint, you will need to add images, shapes, or text to a slide and then use the software’s built-in tools to animate them.

• You can use the “Motion Paths” tool to make objects move along a predetermined path.

Prezi is a web-based platform that allows you to create stunning visual presentations.

Plus, Prezi is really easy to use – even if you have no experience, you’ll be able to create a beautiful presentation with Prezi in no time.

3. Google Slides

Google Slides is a free tool that allows people to easily make and share presentations.

It’s a great tool for creating simple animations. By adding multiple images to a single slide and then changing the image order, you can create the illusion of movement.

This technique is often used to create GIFs, which can be used to add visual interest to presentations or simply to share fun moments with friends.

To create an animation in Google Slides, start by adding the images that you want to use. Then, select the slide that you want to animate and click “Insert.” Lastly, select “Animation” from the menu and choose the animation that you want to use. With just a few clicks, you can add some excitement to your Google Slides presentation.

Another popular option is Toon Boom Harmony . Toon Boom Harmony is a professional-grade animation software that is used by animators all over the world. It offers a wide range of features and is capable of creating high-quality animations. However, it can also be quite expensive.

For those on a budget, there are also free options such as Pencil2 D and Synfig Studio . While they may not be as feature-rich as professional software, they can still be used to create basic animations.

How do you make animated educational videos and presentations?

Some common choices include Adobe After Effects , Powtoon , and Vyond . Each has its own set of features and capabilities, so it’s important to choose the right one for your project.

• After Effects is a powerful tool that can create complex animations, but it can also be used for simple tasks like creating text animations.
• Powtoon is a great option for creating cartoon-style videos.
• GoAnimate is ideal for creating educational videos with a more serious tone.

What online tool is used in creating whiteboard animations?

There are a number of online tools that can be used for creating whiteboard animations . Some of the most popular options include Animaker , Vyond , and Doodly .

These tools allow users to create animated videos by adding text , images, and other graphical elements to a virtual whiteboard. The videos can then be exported as MP4 files or shared online. Whiteboard animations are an effective way to communicate ideas and information, and they can be used for a variety of purposes, including marketing, training, and education.

What are the 4 types animation of in PowerPoint?

There are 4 types of animation of PowerPoint: 1. Entrance; 2. Emphasis; 3. Exit; 4. Path.

The entrance animations bring your slide content in, and the exit animations take it away again. Entrance and exit animations can be set to occur automatically when the slide appears or is advanced, or they can be set to occur in response to a mouse click. Emphasis animations draw attention to specific elements on a slide, such as bullet points or charts.

Path animations allow you to create complex motion paths for your slide objects. For example, you could have an object travel across the screen, bounce up and down, or spin around before coming to rest in its final position.

When used sparingly, animation can help to highlight important information and make your presentation more engaging. However, too much animation can be distracting, so use it sparingly and only when it genuinely adds value to your presentation.

What is the best free animation software?

There are a number of free animation software programs available, and the best one for you will depend on your needs and preferences. If you’re looking for something that’s easy to use and doesn’t require a lot of experience, then using GIMP for simple animations might be a good option. It offers a wide range of features and is fairly user-friendly.

For something that’s more versatile and geared towards professionals, Blender is worth checking out. It has a steep learning curve but is packed with powerful tools. And if you’re after something specifically for 2D animation, then Pencil2D could be what you’re after. It’s open-source and relatively straightforward to use.

Bottom Line: Make Animated Presentations

Animated presentations are an engaging and powerful way to communicate your ideas.

They can help you stand out from the competition, make a complex topic easier to understand and keep your audience engaged from start to finish.

If you’re not using animated presentations in your video strategy yet, now is the time to start.

Making a video presentation: FAQs

Your answers to the most frequently asked questions about making a video presentation.

How do I make a video presentation for free?

It’s hard to make a video presentation for free, because free video makers have limited features that usually aren’t geared toward professional presentations. Your best bet is making a presentation during a free trial with a leading video presentation maker. Most people quickly realize purchasing a subscription is worth the money.

How do I make a video out of a presentation?

Not all online video makers are geared toward making a video out of a presentation, so it’s important to use one that focuses on making videos for a professional setting. Look for features like: templates and scenes geared toward the business world; video branding capabilities; an easy-to-use workflow.

How do I make a narration video presentation?

There are three ways to make a narration video presentation.

• Record narration separately and sync it to your presentation.
• Upload first-person video footage. Merge it with your presentation.
• Use a video presentation maker with in-app voice-over and recording features. (This is the easiest way to make a narration video presentation.)

How do I make an animated presentation?

Making an animated presentation from scratch is difficult unless you have advanced skills. Your best bet is to find a video presentation maker with a library of animations you can add to your presentation. Look for an online video maker that offers unique animations geared toward a professional setting.

“Biteable gives us the speed and quality to create videos that allows our 3-person team to play at the level of a 60-person team.”

4 must-have tips for making video presentations

Creating a video presentation is easy with Biteable. And it’s even easier if you follow these best practices.

Have a goal in mind

Every great video presentation starts with a goal. What are you trying to accomplish? Maybe you want to share a new idea with your colleagues. Maybe you want to report on important company metrics. Or maybe you want to do something else entirely.

It’s incredibly difficult to make a video presentation that moves the needle until you define exactly what your presentation aims to achieve. Figure that part out and the rest becomes much easier.

Choose a proven template

Now that you know what your presentation aims to achieve you can pick a template that fits. You can create your video presentation from scratch, but using a template as a starting point gives you guide rails for tempo and pacing, plus a proven structure designed by pros.

Biteable video presentation maker has plenty of template options geared toward a professional setting, plus hundreds of extra video scenes and animations to build out your video presentation as much or as little as you like.

Use animations that underscore your message

One of the biggest advantages of video presentations over something static like a PowerPoint is the presence of motion. Without even realizing it, your audience will remember the information better simply because video is a multimedia experience that combines movement, sound, and visuals. To make the most impact, choose your animations wisely and use movement in a way that underscores your key points.

Are you presenting on the massive growth your marketing team achieved? Use a graph showing upward movement to drive the point home. Do you have one key point you’re trying to make? Use animation to circle your text or arrows that point at your most important information.

(All of this is easy to do with the video scenes available in Biteable.)

Keep it short and sweet

The length of your video presentation matters. Too short and you won’t be able to convey enough information. Too long and your audience will tune out.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to video presentation length. But in general, 1-2 minutes is the sweet spot for making a video presentation that holds attention while still getting all the important information across.

You’d be surprised how many details you can share in this amount of time. A 15-minute live presentation can easily be condensed into one or two minutes if you hone your message to focus on the key details.

Brand your video

This is probably one of the most important — and most overlooked — parts of creating a successful video presentation. You’d never create a PowerPoint with erratic, off-brand colors. Making a video presentation is no different.

It’s a subtle change, but it gives off a big signal that you are polished and professional, and that you and your video presentation mean business.

Take advantage of the unique branding feature in the Biteable video presentation maker to easily apply your colors and logo to your entire presentation.

‘Despicable Me 4' Kicks Off Universal's 2024 CinemaCon With Gru's Honey Badger Heist

CinemaCon attendees got an extended clip from Illumination’s Despicable Me 4 at Universal’s 2024 presentation.

In it, Gru (Steve Carell) teams with the villainess Poppy (Joey King) to steal a honey badger from a castle/private school. Two Minions and Gru’s baby son Junior are in tow . Calamity ensures as the honey badger awakes, creates havoc with Gru getting hit in the butt with a tranquilizer shot.

Illumination Boss Chris Meledandri introduced the clip, thanking exhibitors for the sleeper success of his animation studio’s Migration ($293M).

“In case of any doubt, our commitment to produce original animation film remains steadfast,” said Meledandri.

This latest Despicable Me installment in the multi-billion dollar grossing franchise hits domestic theaters on July 5. Following the 2022 summer blockbuster of Illumination's  Minions: The Rise of Gru,  which earned almost $1B worldwide, the animated franchise now begins a new chapter as Gru (Steve Carrell) and Lucy (Kristen Wiig) and their girls - Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier) and Agnes (Madison Polan)- welcome a new member to the Gru family, Gru Jr., who is intent on tormenting his dad. 

Gru also faces a new nemesis in Maxime Le Mal (Will Ferrell) and his femme fatale girlfriend Valentina (Sofia Vergara), and the family is forced to go on the run.

The film features new characters voiced by Joey King ( Bullet Train ), Stephen Colbert ( The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ) and Chloe Fineman ( Saturday Night Live ).

Pierre Coffin returns as the iconic voice of the Minions and Steve Coogan returns as Silas Ramsbottom.

Despicable Me 4  is directed by a co-creator of the Minions, Chris Renaud ( Despicable Me,   The Secret Life of Pets ), and is produced by Meledandri and by Brett Hoffman.

The film is co-directed by Patrick Delage (animation director  Sing 2  and  The Secret Life of Pets 2 ), and the screenplay is by the creator of  White Lotus , Mike White, and the veteran writer of every  Despicable Me  film, Ken Daurio.
