Videoscribe Version 3 Tutorials: Creating Engaging Animations for Beginners

Are you new to VideoScribe version 3? Whether you're looking to create animated videos or simply want to enhance your existing presentations with professional-looking animations, this tutorial series will guide you through every step of the process.

In our previous tutorials , we covered basic features such as setting up a project and importing media. Now it's time to dive deeper into advanced animation techniques that will take your VideoScribe skills to the next level.

## Step 1: Understanding Paper Options

To begin, open up any new or existing project in VideoScribe version 3 by navigating through 'File' > 'New Project.' Once you're inside the main interface, click on the 'Paper' tab located at the top left corner of your screen. This opens up a wealth of options that allow you to customize various aspects of your animation.

## Step 2: Customizing Background Color and Vignette Effects

Upon opening the Paper Options panel, one of the first things you'll notice is the 'Background' section on the right-hand side of the window. Here, there are several tools available for modifying both color palettes and adding effects to your animation background.

### A) Selecting a Background Color Using the Colour Pallet

To change up the overall aesthetic of your video's backdrop or simply match it with other elements within your presentation, click on 'Background' > 'Solid Fill.' This will open up a new window displaying an array of pre-set colors that you can choose from. Alternatively, if none of these options appeal to you, select 'Custom...' at the bottom right corner and use the Color Picker tool located above it to manually enter in your desired hex code or pick out any color directly from within your operating system's colour palette.

### B) Adding Vignette Effects

Vignettes are great for adding a professional touch or even creating an old-school feel depending on how they're used. To apply one, simply click on 'Effect' > 'Drop Shadow & Glow.' From here you'll be presented with several different options including inner glow, outer glow and many more advanced effects such as inner shadow which can help give your animation a very professional look.

## Step 3: Adding Media to Your Animation

Now that we've covered the basics of customizing our background color and adding various effects, it's time to move onto something even more interesting - importing media into VideoScribe! This could be anything from images or videos themselves right through to audio files like MP3s. To do this simply drag & drop them directly onto your canvas area where they'll automatically resize themselves accordingly based on their original dimensions.

And that's it for today's tutorial on using VideoScribe version with ease! With these simple steps under your belt, you should now feel confident enough to start creating professional-looking animations without breaking a sweat. Remember - practice makes perfect so keep experimenting until you find the right combination of features and techniques that suit your unique style best.
