Almost every startup needs a great video, but creating a sexy video can get expensive. That’s why I was so excited when I found out about Sparkol.

Sparkol VideoScribe is pretty amazing. It’s so brain-dead simple to use that I could figure it out on the fly. I didn’t have to study a manual or struggle with complex menus.

VideoScribe adopts the whiteboard-style animation that’s so popular these days, allowing users (like me) to create slick looking business videos in minutes, not hours or days. Look at what I created in just 30 minutes…

I could have done even better if I spent more time polishing it up, but I wanted to see what I could do in just 30 minutes. As you can see, if you put some time into it, the results can easily rival those of a professional graphic designer and animator.

I wholeheartedly recommend trying out Sparkol, especially if you’re about to launch a new site and need an explanatory video. The trial version is free and a lot of fun.

Below are some of the features I like best…

  • VideoScribe’s UI is very well designed
  • The system is intuitive and simple to learn
  • You can easily upload your videos to YouTube or burn a promotional DVD
  • You can use their library of artwork and characters (like I did)
  • Or you can upload your own artwork!
  • You can create full HD, unbranded output with transparent PNGs
