24 alternatives to StoryMotion
StoryMotion is a whiteboard animation editor that combines the editing experience of Excalidraw and Keynote to make explainer animations. Everything is fully editable, both the visual elements and the timing of motion effects. Recently I added an AI feature that lets users upload documents like images or PDFs and generates both the visuals and the animation in a few minutes. I hope you find this useful. All feedback and comments are welcome.

Motion creates the video — it can orchestrate entire explainers, launch videos, logo animations, convert articles to video, or even add motion design to your existing videos. 3.

Inscribed.app, a slide-based tool for creating stop motions animation and slides. I've been writing a lot of tech content lately and needed a way to create a stop motion to visualize ideas for my blog. I'm a big fan of Excalidraw and Apple Keynote, so this tool is an attempt to combine the UX of the two together. Sketch like Excalidraw with a slide making interface (with shortcuts) like Apple Keynote. Features: - keyboard shortcuts: copy/paste/del, up/down navigation - adjust document size - drag and drop images - google fonts integration - presentation mode - export as GIF,…
