In addition, you can organize the presentation by choosing specific categories, such as blank whiteboard, professional caricature, infographic, or corporate.

Videoscribe is a very powerful tool for creating whiteboard-style animated videos as if you had your own digital canvas to add text, sounds, and colors. It offers more than 1,000 images, fonts, and melodies to choose from. You can try it for seven days with a free license and if it convinces you, pay for the Premium version.

FlexClip

FlexClip is one of the best online video editor I have ever used for creating explanatory videos. You don’t have to download any software to use it. It also has a free version for you to try it out but of course, the free version has many limitation. What the most great spot of FlexClip for me is that it has a large number of well designed templates. This saves my time.

WIDEO

Wideo designs, edits, and shares videos by transforming a predetermined template or by dragging available icons to the workspace. But it also lets you upload your own images or videos and establish the desired sequence in minutes. We can enjoy a free trial version for a week if we have a specific need, but if you are about to use it often, it is recommended to purchase the Premium version.

PIXORIAL

Pixorial is an online video editor that allows you to upload multimedia files from your computer or from social networks, being able to order them later and add different transitions. Export the results later in a simple way. Ideal for creating educational explanatory videos since it also allows you to get free space for students and special prices for teachers.

Renderforest is a tool for creating whiteboard animated explanatory videos to tell a story in a simple way. Offers hundreds of preset scenes that you can include in your videos through a fairly easy editing process. In this way, you would be able to give your videos a more special aspect, whether you want to create a promotional video as an entrepreneur for educational presentations, invitation videos to an event, or promotional videos for your small business.

MOOVLY

Moovly is a very interesting tool that allows you to create presentations using predefined templates and its extensive multimedia gallery. But if you prefer, you can also include your own images, videos, and sounds. Thanks to the free version, we can create unlimited explanatory videos of up to 10 minutes, but the storage capacity is only up to 100 MB, and only 20 files can be saved at most.
