Powtoon Free
Pros: Easy to use, fun. Produces very professional looking videos.
Oct 24, 2018 - Mission: With Powtoon you can easily create your own free (or paid) studio-quality HD live and animated videos in minutes — eliminating the. Powtoon is a presentation software that place emphasis on the creation of animations to produce more visually appealing presentations. Powtoon gives users the ability to create animations by letting them manipulate objects and images. & Presentations It's FREE and it's Easy start now. I had a professional looking presentation or ‘Powtoon’ in minutes. In the B2B market you have people coming to you at all different stages of the sales cycle, so we were able to make a few different videos (some funny, some general, some targeted to high tech marketers) in order to adapt.
Cons: It is difficult to select objects and edit if they overlap.
I would like to be able to add tags to the images so I could easily find those I want to use multiple times.
When changing the sizes of objects, both the width and height change proportionately. It would be good to be able to change just one, especially boxes.
Overall: I am an instructional designer/developer and I use PowToon as part of eLearning courses and to communicate changes to end users. The premade templates make PowToon really easy to use. I find a look I like then modify with my content. Each template has its own music but I may upload my own music and upload images to personalize the video even more.
If I have a question, I can chat directly with the support team (and I have had lots of questions). I had some trouble understanding the timing of objects when I first started. (Hint: where the thumbnail displays on the time line has Nothing to do with the exit time) and was frustrated by the lack of technical information about how the product works. This is because they depend on their support team to help users. Generally this is good but I would like to see Some documentation, even if it were just voiceovers on a PowToon to explain something.
Powtoon Free For Teachers
I found using a PowToon to communicate a recent system change to end users resulted in about a 70% view rate instead of a close to 10% read rate for just an email for a previous communication. I host the video on our SharePoint site and provide a link so it's easy to track the views.
I just extended my subscription for another year and look forward to new features, new images, and new templates.

Recommendations to other buyers: Contact the support team with questions. Works best with Chrome so install that before you use PowToon for the first time to avoid frustration. Don't be afraid to change the type entrance and exit for objects. They are just a suggestions.
