415 Vyond Reviews
I love Vyond's intuitive interface and extensive library of customizable templates and characters. It makes creating high-quality animations quick and easy, even for someone with no prior animation experience. I also love the bulit in translation tools that cut down on development time and money invested in other translation tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some advanced features have a learning curve, which might require some time to master. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use and quick development time. Like the different styles available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Don't use the whiteboard much. Would love to see more options for character actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I appreciate how easy it is to create a video, especially if you need some created with a short turnaround time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish the stylized character videos in the Contemporary style had more options for customization/ actions. The Business Friendly is very fleshed out in terms of options, but it doesn't look as nice as Contemporary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is a great tool to create animated videos for learning and development professionals. Love that we can customize characters for stories. Love that the editing is very easy to learn and yet allows us to edit the smallest things. The new AI capabilities are a good way to get started on a new video; however, I still start from scratch for most of my videos for training. I like that I can add background music and turn down the volume settings for when a charactor (or narrator) is talking. The AI voices (text to voice) are continuing to get better and better. Some of the AI voices are awesome and sound like real people. Some of them don't. I also love the "add camera" features that keep the motion going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A bit pricy if you don't use it a lot. Make sure you're going to use it a lot before buying. We use this very often to add interesting stories and explainer videos to go into our eLearning. If you don't have the Enterprise version, which we do not, it doesn't give you WellSaidLabs with your subscription. We looked into getting that feature, but found out if you get it, it still doesn't give you all the editing capabilities for the AI voices that WellSaidLabs has as a standalone product. So, we decided not to get the Enterprise version because of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I so enjoy working with Vyond! I don't think I am very creative, but Vyond spurs my creativity and I have so much fun creating learning videos with Vyond that I regularly work 2-3 hours beyond the end of my day because I am on a roll and love the output. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The downsides for me are that it is less intuitive than I would like. It took me quite awhile to get the hang of it at first and I still sometimes have a hard time figuring some things out that I would think would be easy. However, the Vyond team is happy to schedule 1:1 times to assist. Plus their continuous webinars help me learn their product better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You can reach the audience in a more creative way. The creation of characters, adding voices, creating scenarios... it has everything to spark your imagination. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Perhaps add more costumes and have the option to place the characters facing backwards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using Vyond for several years and have been impressed with the updates including added backgrounds, body types, and the AI features. I use it for various types of content - to create a brief explanatory video that I post in a leadership group to introduce a skill focus, to walk through scnearios that are embedded in training courses that range from health and safety, ethics, and how to conduct field investigations. The illustrations are polished a professional and are helpful to discuss serious matters where you do not want to record real people (ie. talking about an incident). We frequently use the character creator to create an employee's likeness - our finance group explaining how we make money in a monthly series - it is close enough so that people can make the connection, but far enough that if someone were to leave, there are no major issues with the character remaning. I am an adjunct professor at a local university and Vyond is one of the tools we cover as an authoring tool option - it is always a big hit! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would love to be able to change the color of clothing items and have the ability to add logo badges/patches on clothing. I would love to be able to work with someone in sales etc. to provide longer trial periods and publishing abilities to students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As an educator, the visual aspect of any videos I use has to be customizable to help emphasize the points I'm trying to help people understand and retain. Stock footage or canned boilerplate just won't do it. Vyond finds the sweet spot of ease and efficiency of use with the ability to change and customize any aspect of the video that I need. I've made my last 20 or so videos completely inside of Vyond's platform, and I expect I'll keep using this for a long time.
The one great feature I'm using more and more is the ever-expanding template library. This offers artifacts, thematic groups, and other unique items that are easy to integrate into other projects either as a whole or in pieces. The fact that they keep adding new templates in a range of different styles means its easier to be more creative as well instead of falling back on the same comfortable features.
Overall, I'm thrilled to have found Vyond, and it's become my go to tool for most video creation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Vyond does have a small learning curve, but it's nothing compared to Adobe After Effects or other animation software I've used. Also, the new AI item creation options are more of a promise of things to come than something really reliable yet. Of all the times I've tried to make something, I think I only ended up using the AI generated artifact once. I think that has more to do with the state of AI generated images right now than Vyond, but it's good to see them thinking ahead to implementing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am able to use many templates and designs to create a story for our customers. Not only that but you can customise it to fit our company color scheme and logo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes when the videos take a long time to download or even sometimes open have to keep refreshing the screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
