how to make whiteboard “scribe” videos

[Ryan Portsmouth]

The latest version of VideoScribe that you referenced now allows you to import any fonts you wish to use from your system.

Awesome work! Any chance you’re willing to share your source files? Would be awesome to shortcut my way to a similar end result.

Thanks!

Folks should also take a look at the Paint Tool and Motion Sketch (with the x/y coordinates subsequently applied onto the Write On effect – this may become slow for large drawings.

If going the Paint Tool route, keep separate drawings on separate layers to minimize memory requirements.

Nathan,

I have been trying to do the method you posted, however I am having trouble getting the hand to animate. I can get it to move along one path, but bringing in multiple paths at once does not seem to be possible. When I copy them into the position field it copies them as a group of masks and not a motion path. How did you manage to copy multiple paths in together? Did you need to add each one individually?

Thanks in advance for your for your help.

[Nathan Dean]

make sure you are selecting the position property and not just the layer before you paste the copied paths. I if you copy multiple paths it will only paste as masks. See my updated post above.

Here’s the short answer: Create one continuous reveal path that covers all the art. Use this reveal path as both a mask for the art layer and the motion path (position keyframes) for the motion path.

Check this out. It’s a AE project files that includes a hand with multiple state (angles) that vary depending on the direction the hand null is moved.

Seems like it might be the ticket if you want a hand that looks more real than a static hand just moving around.
