VideoScribe
Whiteboard animation studio with AI image and script generation.
About
VideoScribe by Sparkol is the long-running whiteboard animation software used by educators, marketers, and YouTubers to create hand-drawn style explainer videos. Users drag images, text, music, and voiceovers onto a canvas, and the software animates a hand drawing each element. It offers thousands of stock images and soundtracks, custom drawing hands, and HD export.
Recent versions add AI capabilities: an AI image generation tool for creating custom doodle assets and an AI script generation tool for drafting video narration, alongside AI voice-over generation. The free trial watermarks output; paid plans remove the watermark. VideoScribe remains a primarily manual timeline editor, with AI assisting asset and script creation rather than fully automating videos.
