Vidtoon 2.1 is finally here! Vidtoon 2.0 has received much success and was named Clickbank’s number 1 video editing software. It was only fitting to work on adding more features based on customers’ suggestions and adapting to present-day video editing requirements.
It may have been quite some time working on launching this next phase of Vidtoon software, but it was important to perfect all aspects and make sure existing features are working alongside new ones.
This blog post will dive deeper into each feature and what you can expect from it.
Vidtoon is an animation video maker, with every option to create your own video from start to finish. With pre-created resources like animated characters, background images, selected soundtracks, and access to unlimited stock images and icons, you can create any type of video without having to have a tech skill or background in video editing.
However, one element that was missing in Vidtoon 2.0 which has had many customers suggest and request is supporting adding videos to the software. Having all mentioned resources was a great start for people to embark on their video journey, however, adding videos will allow more people to customize their projects even more and be open to a whole new spectrum of video editing.
Therefore, Vidtoon 2.1 can now support importing videos and working around them to bring a more engaging and active approach to animated videos.
If you’re not keen on importing and using your own videos in Vidtoon, you can use Pixabay videos to help you finalize your project. These videos are commercial-free and can be downloaded straight to your project. To search for videos, you can use the search bar and type any keyword that corresponds to what you’re looking for.
You can also choose whether to download Pixabay videos in high or low quality. From landscape and animal videos to business-related scenes or cartoons, you will be able to find what you’re looking for by using different keywords.
Now that Vidtoon 2.1 supports adding videos, it’s a no-brainer that video editing tools should be added as well in order to maximize its usage. Out of the different video editing tools in the market, the two most requested ones are split and cut videos.
Do you have long videos you want to split into two ( or more)? You can use the timeline cursor to indicate in which scene you would like to split and use the cut button. Easy and straight to the point.
Do you want to get rid of an entire scene without having to sacrifice the rest of your video? Vidtoon 2.1 has a new timeline cursor design that can help you identify and highlight your unwanted scene. With a single click, the scene will be deleted. You don’t have to reattach the two video parts again as it’s done so manually.
Transition effects were a great addition to Vidtoon 2.0 features to use in order to keep viewers engaged and make two different scenes look polished and cohesive. Choosing the right transition for your projects is as important as choosing your resources as it’s part of the whole video editing concept.
With Vidtoon 2.1, you’re able to change the colors of these transitions without compromising on your overall video aesthetic. Instead of being limited to three colors for all transitions, you’re able to choose every single color for every transition aspect according to your preference.
Transitions in Vidtoon 2.0 were limited between scenes only. But the potential they hold to make any change from one scene to another or simply transitioning from one element to another is far greater. This is why Vidtoon 2.1 comes with this new addition: Adding transition effects to the timeline.
This step will allow Vidtoon users to drag any effect they like and use it anywhere they want. You can even use it to transition from one character to another.
Almost every project or a design calls for adding text materials. Due to increased demand, we have added the option to import new/personal fonts. You can discover and download new fonts in an easy, straightforward manner.
It’s important to note that you need to have the fonts already downloaded to your device in order to successfully import them to Vidtoon.
Vidtoon timeline, where all the editing comes to life, has few changes! From adding a master scene, the ability to add more tracks, to customizing the way the timeline appears.
You can add multiple scenes in Vidtoon and create different stories on each one of them. Using a transition effect will help you merge these scenes in a more stylistic way. But one thing is having a few elements that need to be added to the whole video, and being limited with each scene can be cumbersome.
This is why the master scene was created to house any element that needs to be visible in the whole video without having to add it to each scene. Some of these elements can be the soundtrack, logo, or main animated character…
Vidtoon has 3 timeline tracks for each option: background images, characters, music, text to speech, texts… With creating heavy projects, 3 tracks may seem unproductive. With the new update, you get to choose how many tracks you want in your timeline based on your content. Simple process: click on the timeline track and a new one is added.
Editing is usually marked by how smooth the timeline is and how effective it is to navigate through it. Being able to change the timeline layout will result in clean transitions between video elements. You can use the slider to choose how the timeline should appear.
Another aspect of the timeline is that you can now customize the duration of your project and therefore your timeline by a simple double click gesture instead of having to click on the plus button all the time.
Aligning objects on a scene helps you quickly choose where your elements should be placed and what layout you should adapt for your design. You can easily line up your elements and space them out in your scene.
To do so, align all resources by sliding a horizontal or vertical line from both scene sides and place as many of them as needed. Once done editing your project, a simple click on the view icon will hide them all and you can preview your work easily.
In addition to having the alignment tool, a multi-select option was also necessary to help with editing projects. Multi-selection is important because, without it, there is no way to keep the same edits you have already made for a couple of sentences or a bunch of animated characters. You wanna be able to freely select a few elements and edit them as you want.
We have explained in previous paragraphs how important it is to be able to edit your timeline and scene in order to make the most of your project. Having a transparent canvas option is also critical in case you want to smoothly work around the hidden parts of your projects which will then be visible.
Just as the name indicates, a transparent canvas is an option to activate the behind view of your canvas, what you keep outside the frame. Why is that important you may ask? Well, you might add a large background image and you want to use this option to view what exactly you want to be on show. Not only images, but you can also edit your storyline behind the scenes to allow for a smooth transition between elements.
Having a transparent canvas option calls for the ability to resize the canvas in order to fit all hidden elements and make the editing process in one stage. Similar to Timeline zoom in/out; canvas also has a zoom slider you can use to control the appearance of the canvas.
Last but definitely not least, Vidtoon 2.1 can now support changing the title of imported resources as well as deleting them altogether. Renaming the imported resources was frequently suggested and it’s comprehensible to allow for a more customized product. Customers will be able to rename their imported elements inside Vidtoon.
The final feature added is the action to delete imported resources. Since many customers use Vidtoon for multiple projects continuously, having a delete action will help them refresh the software by deleting resources of old projects and adding new ones.
All the above features were thought of primarily when working on the new update. Vidtoon 2.1 has both complementary new features that elevate existing ones as well as new, never done before features.
