DIY Animated Video Creators
In the previous article, we explored online DIY animated video creators and took a look at two of them; GoAnimate and Animoto. Let's continue with seven other options for creating your animated videos with cloud based online editors. These options feature a free plan instead of just a free trial. This is great for the novice, who could use up the free 14 days just getting familiar with the software and process.
Animaker
Animaker has a free plan, instead of a free trial. This free plan is limited, but includes unlimited videos with a maximum length of 2 minutes and a maximum number of exports of 5 per month. You are also limited to the SD resolution quality and sharing to YouTube. These videos are branded for Animaker and there are some good help video tutorials.
