About Vyond
Vyond is a cloud-based animation solution designed to help organizations create professional animated videos for training, marketing, and HR purposes. Key features include team collaboration, asset management, data visualization, remote access, data import, and a whiteboard tool.
The application enables businesses to create brand-specific, customizable videos using a library of templates, sounds, or props, as well as publish them on social media channels and LMS platforms. Marketers can use Vyond to generate promotional video ads or messages, and build campaigns such as product explainers and animated GIFs for targeted audiences. It lets designers prepare dynamic content using multiple styles/characters, and enables users to add animation through realistic movements, actions, and automated lip-synchronization.
Vyond provides administrators with tools to grant role-based permissions among users, automate logout for inactive sessions, conduct IP whitelisting, and manage video cache expiration dates. Using its drag-and-drop interface, HR managers can onboard new hires and engage employees by creating short films, and communicating brand culture.

Vyond for your Presentations
Reviewed on 06/01/2022
Pros
I LOVE using Vyond. It allows me to create videos easily and quickly. I can animate on-screen characters easily and the software allows me to use a text-to-screen dialog that will animate the characters so it looks like the characters are speaking. In addition, support is great - I ask a question and get answers quickly.
Cons
Not being able to start a small scene in the middle as I create the video (that consists of a number of scenes). Being able to do so would allow me to adjust the dialog and animation a bit easier (no need to go through each scene again and again to adjust something towards the end).

Very good. Been a customer for a few years and intend to stick with this company as it grows.
Pros
Vyond is relatively easy to use and has templates, props, and scenes to suit most circumstances.
Cons
Certain professions, sports, hobbies, and scenes, if included, will easily make this a far more superior tool. For example, I couldn’t find characters or costumes for a dance scene I needed. I had wanted to illustrate stress relieve hobbies people can pick up during quarantine like sewing, but not available. Also I am not sure why there’s no “talk HAPPY but no lip sync” option.

Useful to a limited extent

Pros
Easy to create custom characters and place them into scenes. Contemporary graphics fit acceptable art style for internal use.
Cons
The Contemporary set rarely if ever gets any updates and has only has one body style. It seems that all of the updates are for the "business friendly" set, which looks dated and unprofessional.
There is no easy way to get high quality stills. Scenes downloaded as images are in reduced quality. This means that a user must generate and download a 1080P movie file and then open it in photoshop to extract an acceptable still in PNG format.

The benefits are so many with this platform - fun, creative, engaging content can be creative for multiple audiences. I use it to create an image, gifs, AND videos. There are so many purposes! The templates are helpful and can easily be modified.
Pros
Vyond makes it easy to create images, gifs, AND videos that support employee engagement initiatives and of course for all types of training. I am able to create fun, informative graphics and videos that enhance the training the develop.
Cons
As a one person L & D department, I would like the ability to create contemporary characters. It's only available on the Professional platform and I'd really like to see it as an option on the Premium option. I don't need a scalable, teams platform as I am a one person team!

We develop learning solutions for our company so we include many videos in our eLearning courses. We also use Vyond for informational or step-by-step videos to broadcast information or as on-demand learning.
Pros
Integrating this into our business needs was easy and I appreciate that Vyond is constantly updating the characters, locations, and slide templates. Rarely am I unable to find something specific that I need to tell the story. I also really like the templates that Vyond has on their blog; if I need a quick video, they can be super helpful. Overall, the product is easy to use for simple videos that look fancy.
Cons
It would be nice to have more editing features or simple animations that are in place. I find the pricing very high, so I always have to plan my videos around the giant Vyond logo in the corner. I also wish I could create GIFs with the lowest pricing plan - it seems like a simple tool that should not cost extra.
