wanna learn how all these youtubers are
creating these fancy whiteboard
animations well then you've come to the
right place I'm not just going to show
you what we use it's video scribe by the
way I also walk you through step by step
on how the video process goes by making
a whiteboard animation in one day here's
what you'll need before we get started
if you want to do this in one day like I
am you'll need number 1 plenty of energy
for focus - about 10 hours 3 a pretty
good idea of what you want to talk about
for your video for $29 5
you'll need a subscribe to my channel
yep you know subscribe that button right
there this is pretty much all you need
to succeed make sure you do the last
step it's probably the most important
all right first things first let's go
get the whiteboard animation software
you can Google video scribe or go to
video scribe dot see oh by the way I'm
not sponsored or paid by this company at
all it just happens to be the software I
use let's not waste any time with the
free trial which limits you to poor
quality video and has a watermark you
can go for the twenty nine a month or
the 144 for a year if you plan on using
it throughout the year I personally did
the 144 because I knew I'd be using it
online with that downloaded we have
everything we need to make this
whiteboard animation let's begin at the
first step of video creation organizing
your ideas keep in mind that this is how
I personally do things at the moment
okay you're gonna need a lot of focus so
put your phone out of sight
choose your workstation wisely and
prepare for some hard work so we start
with our main idea fleshing it out and
outlining what we want to talk about by
writing it all down yes
observe my really crappy handwriting I
like coming up with the title ahead of
time so my video has a focus point
[Music]
after I finished my outline I begin
scripting by using Google sheets I keep
to a pretty simple structure of what I'm
gonna say on one side and a rough idea
of what the visuals are on the other
side sometimes I imagine what I'm seeing
for the animation while scripting but
other times it's easier to do the
voice-over first and then decide on what
you see based off of the timing and how
you set it if you've never done a
voice-over before I suggest you wait
until after to fill in the visuals which
is what I'm gonna do I usually just
write down whatever comes to mind as
first draft and then I come back and
revise it afterwards
one of the best ways to revise your
script is to simply say it out loud and
see if it sounds okay alright the script
is done now let's head to my sound
studio downstairs check it out guys my
sound station the next step is super
simple just record yourself using a
recording device while reading the
script mines is a blue Yeti mic if you
don't have a very good mic just use your
phone if getting a Yeti mic is out of
the question there are some cheap mics
you can find on Amazon that connect to
your phone I record using audition but
any digital audio workstation works
perfectly fine a tip for voice
recordings usually your first time
reading off the script is gonna suck so
don't be afraid of judging your own
voice and repeating the lines until you
feel satisfied I know early on I cringed
every time I heard my own voice but you
get used to it for a one day video I
highly recommend you keep it under 4
minutes unless you have the entire day -
here we are guys the part you've been
waiting for the absolute longest part of
the entire process the whiteboard
animation if you're still on the same
day you've done some major good work
I usually split what was just done with
the final part into two days but for
this video let's finish it alright let's
open video scribe and sign in click
create a new scribe and here we are I
actually managed to figure this out and
start making my first principles video
the first day I downloaded it so you
guys can do it too
especially since you're watching this
video here's how it works we can add
text or images using this corner of
buttons over here
we click the play from beginning button
and then a pre-recorded hand just pops
in to draw for us I don't know what
people consider this whether it's legit
whiteboard animation blah blah blah I
don't really care as long as it serves
my purpose and my purpose is to give
information to you guys with good
supplemental visuals and I thought this
was a good place to start
ok back to the instructions another
option is to pick a spot to start the
video from you can move the object order
around and copy and paste them let's get
into the options and check out the
properties of this object you can change
the rotation mirror it and change the
drawing options sometimes it's cooler if
it's woop sin without the hand there for
text you can change the color probably
the most important options are drawing
time pause time and transition time
drawing time is the duration for how
long the hand draws it for or how long
it's swoops in for pause time is the
duration between after the drawing
finishes and the transition transition
is the time it takes for the camera to
move between objects let's go ahead and
leave this scribe for a second to go to
the options most of the time it'll look
best when there's a small amount of
pause time and transition time so let's
go ahead and zero out the pause time and
do 0.5 seconds for the transition time
okay cool let's go back into the scribe
so there are a couple other options for
the paper such as different color let's
go ahead and make this video blue since
it's my favorite color and here is the
option to add the voiceover for the
voiceover you just click this button
over here and then go look for it inside
your finder once that's added we can go
back to our visual notes or if we want
to freestyle scribe that works too you
can also grab photos from online by
finding it online and pasting the URL
another important element of describe is
the camera view video scribe will
default to zooming into an object if you
don't set a camera position I recommend
you always set a camera position because
honestly I just think it looks better
awesome that was a lot of information
but it's actually pretty intuitive and
you get the hang of it pretty quickly
now let's build this thing okay so the
idea is to always keep the visuals as
interactive as possible this means that
there's no long pauses between visual
movement no longer than about 3 to 4
seconds is a good
to try to follow there is a consequence
to high density animation though the
higher the density the longer it's gonna
take I averaged about 40 minutes to 1
hour of working in video scribe for
every minute of video a beginner my
average closer to 1 hour to 80 minutes
for every minute of video so be prepared
to sit for a very very long time I like
doing how it sounds while take breaks it
really gets the blood flow into the head
if you know what I mean so a few tips
while I do this if you're going for a
really logical organized video I suggest
you do things in sort of like Fox
formation so you think of it as you have
this one frame and then you're adding a
lot of information to this one frame
that's what I'm mostly doing for this
video you can see from the subscribe
that devii zoom out there's basically
four to five sections where I transition
between ideas if you're trying to
connect ideas you might want a more
fluid interactive approach maybe create
a linear path or a shape and have the
camera move to compliment what you're
trying to say if you repeat an idea it's
easier to just have the camera pan back
so that already created scribe versus
making a brand new one it'll say
sometime here's the technique for
panning you create a blank object and
set the camera position to where you
want it to look and then you make sure
you adjust the transition time to a
higher number of seconds make sure
you're playing the video back sometimes
to make sure that everything looks good
here we have it guys the near finished
product you can add some music using
this button over here after that it's
best to watch through everything at
least once it's a spell check and make
sure timing is solid now we press this
button over here to render this thing I
personally sent my subscribe videos to
1080p and 25 fps
choose a folder and finally we are done
it takes a while to render depending on
the length of the video so we got to be
patient as a bonus this is what I
usually do with the video afterwards I
take it to Premiere Pro kill the audio
and then add the original audio back
after that I add a small vignette using
luma tree color then I adjust the sounds
to the right levels and then export the
video
and lastly I schedule to upload well
that's it guys thanks so much for
sticking through the entire video making
this whiteboard animation in a single
day took a lot of energy but I hope that
the video can help you do the same
if not in one day at least a complete
and good whiteboard animation this is
the first video of a series that I call
the creator tool series I started this
series because I believe people often
time have ideas for projects but don't
know about the tools or how to use them
or they think it's too difficult to
learn how to use them so they never
start I'm here to help by making these
videos showing you step-by-step how to
finish the projects that you guys have
in mind let me know in the comments what
you might like to see from this series
and consider liking and subscribing of
the video help you I'll see you guys
next time
