Vyond User Guide

Animation videos are said to be more memorable (according to the Law of Verbal and Nonverbal Communication) and increase understanding compared to materials with only text and audio, as they can visually capture information. Additionally, they can evoke interest and emotions through movement and color (Immersive Training), which can also enhance the motivation of learners. Other benefits of using animation videos in business include the following.

When using animation videos for business, there are several challenges to consider.

- Production requires time and personnel: Creating animated videos with Vyond is easy, so high technical skills are not necessary, but it does require time and personnel.
- Difficult to convey a realistic atmosphere: Compared to live-action videos, animated videos lack a sense of realism, making it difficult to convey a realistic atmosphere.
- Effort is needed to achieve results: When using animated videos for business purposes, it is not enough to simply create them. Effort is needed to effectively promote them. For example, it is important to have a story that is easy to capture and remember, and to express the unique selling points of products or services in a simple way.
