Features and Characteristics of Vyond
The characteristics of Vyond include the following:

- Even in-house, where using complex video editing software was a high hurdle, it can be used intuitively. - The colors and shapes are meticulously calculated, allowing even amateurs to create highly designed videos without mistakes. - A wealth of templates and materials are readily available, making it easy to create videos in-house. Characters and backgrounds can also be freely customized. - Not only can diverse expressions be achieved using abundant materials, but background music and sound effects are also provided. Additionally, you can upload and use your own logos and images. - As it is a cloud service, it can be easily accessed via a web browser.

The operation method is simple; you can add scenes and adjust the flow of the video on the timeline using drag and drop. Effects and transitions can also be easily applied. Basic character actions and expressions of joy, anger, sadness, and happiness can be selected from patterns, so there is no need for complicated tasks like those in typical video software.

Furthermore, depending on the purpose of the video, you can choose from three video patterns.

1. Contemporary
2D animation composed of simple characters and simplified backgrounds.

2. Business Friendly
Rich variety of character motion materials and highly expressive 2D animation

3. Whiteboard Animation

By effectively utilizing such patterns, you can create animation videos that better suit your objectives.

Furthermore, the created videos can be saved in MP4 or GIF animation formats and can be uploaded to LMS (Learning Management Systems) or YouTube.

[Note] ・Vyond is a cloud service and operates online, so it cannot be used without an internet connection. ・It is fundamentally based on using templates and provided materials, so it is not possible to create completely original videos.
