Why Powtoon is WAY better than I thought it would be
Overall Satisfaction with Powtoon
My organization uses Powtoon to create videos that are "in-between" training videos: they are not high-profile enough for commercials or Marketing videos, but they are nicer and more professional than Zoom recordings or dry software walkthroughs. Sometimes they are informal and fun - like our "88 Seconds of Systems" videos that take a 15-minute system overview and cram it into 4 minutes; sometimes they are more formal but still visually engaging.
These days, with the prevalence pf recorded Zoom and WebEx sessions, learners get really tired really fast of another talking head on a screen! Powtoon enables my organization to create different types of videos and eLearning engagements to wake people up and get their attention so they can learn something new!

Pros
- Engaging visuals and out-of-the-ordinary animations
- Easy incorporation of recorded video from other software into Powtoon creations
- A broad and deep library of background music for different types of videos
- Multiple template and theme options for different types of videos
Cons
- Limitation of 90 seconds for imported video
- More sound effect options for individual animations
- Better organization of the images that I've created and imported
- We are able to create videos that would cost thousands of dollars from an external vendors for hundreds of dollars a year
- Video revision is a fairly simple process so no time is wasted creating videos to make updates
- Importing tools are another time saver
In most cases, Powtoon is the superior tool for video creation and PowerPoint-importing over Captivate, Storyline and Camtasia. And it's MUCH easier to use than Vyond/GoAnimate. It's also much cheaper than these alternatives while providing better tools and a more robust library than Captivate, Storyline and Camtasia. While Vyond/GoAnimate has more precise tools for video creation, the learning curve to use it is MUCH steeper than Powtoon.
