Here is how you can create animated videos like the ones I posted recently on my site. The paid way, and the free way:
PAID:
1. Go to xtranormal.com and sign up for an account. You can sign up and have a 15 day trial to play with the application.
2. Once you are logged in, you will be given the option to choose your scene, actors, voices (French, Spanish, Italian, etc.).
3. To create the movie, you will be asked to type what you want the characters to say. Then, the program will generate the audio for you.
4. Depending on how fancy you want to make your movie, you can add movements, facial expressions, sound effects, background music, etc.
5. When your trial expires, you will be asked to purchase "Tokens" to be able to create and download your movies. If you want students to create movies, you will need to pay .50 cents per student.
FREE (Well Kept Secret!):
1. Create your Xtranormal.com account
2. Create a Youtube Account. Then, go to youtube.com/create
3. Scroll down to find the Xtranormal app.
4. Begin creating your movie by adding text, actors, scenes, etc.
5. When you are done with your creation, publish it to your Youtube account and Voilà!
Pros and Cons:
1. The paid version has more features, but it costs 10 dollars, plus .50 cents per students.
2. The free version has less actors and scenes, and you have to publish your videos via Youtube.
Tips: Whichever version you choose, remember to save your scrip on a document, in case the rendering fails...It has happened to me once, and it's a bummer after you have created a "masterpiece".
¡Buena Suerte!
