Select a Template

With some pre-set elements
and animations

Or select the Blank Template

Then Powtoon l loads…

And loads…

On the left side are Slides
similar to Powerpoint

But try to think of these as Scenes

There are a variety of Styles at the
top right

Styles of different Characters,
Props

Backgrounds that are
coordinating

But they can be mixed and
matched

Mouse over each character to
see a bigger view

Let’s select a Background and
get started

To add plain Text just click on
the Text button

And Double click to Type/Edit

Add some text

Or click the Edit button

Then this window opens so you
can Add Text

Then click Apply

As I go to my text you can see

it appears as an item in my
Timeline

Showing that it’s popping in 1
second

And lasting until 10 seconds

Click on T to shorten the
duration of the text

By using the lines at either end

And I can move it to a new
location

by clicking in the middle

and dragging and dropping it

I can add up to 20 seconds to
each slide

By clicking the Plus + button

After that I will need to add a
new slide

By using the Plus in the slide
view

I can select my text on any
slide

by clicking on it

Each item that you add to
powtoon

has an Entrance and Exit
effect that can be added

by clicking on the Effects box

Click Up

And Right

To preview the Actions I have
added

Click the Play button

The Red Play Head plays along
and video progresses

Click Pause

And I can manually drag this
Red Play Head

along my Timeline

to have a quick look at my
actions

Called Scrubbing through the
video. You can

also add a Hand effect to the
entrance

and Exit effect that you choose

Then click Play Current slide
from start

To show Hand Effect

…moving Hand effect to the
right

If you want your text itself to
be added

With the unique effects like
Hand Writing Option

Again I can Double click to
edit text

Or click Edit

To Edit the text itself

Then click Apply

I will use the Play Head

to find the spot where this text
first leaves and

And I’ll have the hand written
text

appear

Adding animations,
characters, props is similar to
editing text

Simply choose an Item

Click a box at the edge of the
item

to resize it and click in the middle

to drag it where you want it

Select a Design

For an Entrance animation

Click Effects button Up

And then Exit one if applicable

And adjust the Time or
Placement of your item

Add another item

And another one

In the slide’s Timeline

I can click and drag on the Red
Play Head again

Just scrub through my video

Or I can click that Play button

Images can be added as stand
alones

Or they can be put inside a pre-
built image holder

When I select an Image Holder

I’m immediately prompted to
Upload a file

From my computer

Or create a Media Search

And flickr opens

or My Library

Which shows my uploaded
pictures

I’ve already Uploaded this
image from my computer

Using the Upload button, click
Insert image

Or just click to select it

And here is the Image Holder

Though we can do without the
Image Holder

Again, images can be assigned
Entrance / Exit effects

Just like Text or Animation

I can also add another slide to
continue the story

with the Up, Down, Left or Right
animation motions

Add more images and slides to
create your story

As you plan

Decide which of your elements
move in and out of your Pow

Plan your Separate Scenes and
Elements

with a 20 second limit in
mind.

you MUST record your
narration first

and then set your Images and
Texts to match it.

Trying to record the script to
match the animations

After you have written a
Script

Click the Sound button to
record your voice

Then import a Voice Over file

If you have already recorded
one

To simply record your voice within
Pow

Then click Allow so it will be

And then immediately the recording
will start

Record your script and click the
Stop button when done

Once done you can add a
music background

You can select from the Free
tracts available

Or you can import your own
mp3 file

Once you’ve added the music
adjust the volume

So that it doesn’t over power
your narration

And you can Preview your
recording here as well
