Editor's Notes

- #12 PowToon is web-based animation software that allows you to quickly and easily create animated presentations by creating your own or manipulating pre-created objects, imported images, provided music and user created voice-overs. You can create some great animated presentations using Powtoons. The solution includes customizable templates for beginners, as well as a blank canvas for the courageous enough to put on their creative hats. PowToon uses drag-and-drop of built-in features, props and characters, and easy searching of images from Flickr. The Pros… There are plenty of fun visuals to choose from. They drawn in the audience through captivating animations. The application makes it quick and easy to get started without much of a learning curve The Cons… There are many steps to get started from just a blank canvas Downloading of the finished product is not an option And timing your animations can be a little frustrating
- #13 Emaze is also Cloud-based solution for animation and 3D presentation building. It offers a video adding feature, templates and pre-designed slides. Templates include ones with 3D walkthroughs, panning and zooming, video with text/image overlay, or Web-based designs that look like a modern, scrolling website. Although the application is primarily based online, it’s also accessible offline, including on mobile devices. It supports HTML5 and CSS3, as well as integrated hyperlink support. This makes for a fluid design easy to navigate by anyone Automaze, is a feature that imports existing PowerPoint files and turns them into themed, animated "journeys.“ If that sounds a bit familiar, you may be thinking of Prezi, a similar "presentation saver" that's been around several years. But HTML5-based Emaze offers more than just "zoom-in, zoom-out" effects, including the option to embed live data. The Pros… I found the tool very versatile and I’ve read similar comments from other users The variety of download formats is a plus The presentations are also highly engaging because of 3D animations You can also get analytics on presentation views The Cons… Though downloading formats are plentiful, sharing the presentation is a bit troublesome Personally, I found technical issues when watching the shared video but it may have been based on how much I used this application
- #14 Easel.ly is a free web-hosted platform for creating infographics. Users can insert icons and shapes, change background and orientation, and rearrange the pre-inserted graphics in a pre-set template (called a “vheme”) to create their own infographics. Using the site is as easy as dragging and dropping design elements, and users can either choose a template from Easel.ly’s extensive library, or they can upload their own background image and start from scratch. Easel.ly is ideal for educators, business owners, and executives who need to convey a thought, lesson plan, or concept in an easy-to-follow visual form. The Pros… Fairly quick to create a simple infographic Easy collaboration capabilities for people on teams which is an added benefit compared to other products out there The Cons… There is a longer initial learning curve on this one I found This is only good for one-pager infographics The images can be rather small so you have to play around with the page sizing I have to say that from the 3 tools I just presented I find Easilly the least favorite. It’s not as intuitive, there’s a frustrating learning curve because things you assume will happen when you select an area or image don’t actually materialize. Therefore it takes a little bit more of get used to than the other tools I tested. In the end it’s an infographic which is a set of images and text that is not all that exciting, it’s not interactive, and not eye-popping.
