PowToon is an application worth exploring. Overall the experience was a positive one. I started by trying to customise a ready-made PowToon template to tie in with our message but it was in fact easier to start with a blank canvas, add the script and then the visual elements to support it. Having used Creative Cloud products, such as Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, the method of how I could transfer assets from these applications and existing artwork was not obvious and the process was at times slow and frustrating. I set out with the intention of replicating the look and feel in PowToon, however, this was not as easy as it seemed. In my case I had a strong marketing campaign and design already in place.
#POWTOON TO POWER POINT UPGRADE#
Pop-up messages warn users when they are using objects from the ‘paid’ plans, giving them the opportunity to upgrade to the subscription based model at any stage. It is easy to fall into the trap of choosing a very slick template only to discover when you agree to remove the ‘paid’ objects that your presentation ends up with more holes than a slice of Swiss cheese. If your goal is to share the presentation but you don’t want to commit to a ‘paid’ plan then avoid objects in the assets library displaying a lock icon.
#POWTOON TO POWER POINT PROFESSIONAL#
Provided your message is main stream it is possible to pick a template modify the script and have a professional looking slideshow up and running in a relatively short space of time. PowToon have provided a gallery of scripted presentations to cover most Business/Education and Personal scenarios.

It is not an application that you can learn in twenty minutes so avoid the temptation to dive in until you have had time to familiarise yourself with FAQs, tutorials, blog and customer case studies.

The task of developing a presentation and becoming ‘au fait’ with all its features is more time consuming and arduous than PowToon’s marketing literature would want you to believe. That said, my first mistake was to assume PowToon was another ‘PowerPoint’ type software. They have created a powerful, free cloud-based application that assists in the creation of animated videos and presentations. The creators of PowToon ( ) took an incumbent presentation tool, namely PowerPoint, focused on a subset of its most widely used features and put them on steroids.
