Vyond Review 2020, How To Build A Vyond Marketing Presentation

In addition to marketing video creation services, Vyond enables marketing professionals to create engaging presentations that extend beyond traditional and stale PowerPoint tools and printouts.

The presentation tools offered by Vyond are great for sending company-wide updates, training, HR presentations and more. In general, if you can think of it — you can create a striking video presentation designed to inform and engage, using Vyond.

This is possible through Vyond’s cutting-edge animation technology which enables marketing professionals to create custom characters and make them talk using their voice. The reason this feature is so unique is due to Vyond’s lip-sync technology which actually makes it appear as if the character you built is talking.

This creates an element of reality that is unmatched by most other platforms.

The focus that Vyond brings to the table in its presentation capabilities is storytelling. This element is stressed throughout the platform with its countless tools built for enhancing boring old company training videos. The below will explore the ins and outs of Vyond as a marketing presentation tool and how to make the most out of the platform.

The focus of this review will be on Vyond’s capabilities as a marketing presentation tool.

Templates

Much like using Vyond for marketing video creation purposes — you can create impactful marketing presentations designed to inform and educate whomever your audience is. This could be anything from a panel of marketing professionals at a major digital marketing conference to creating a training video for a newly-hired addition to your marketing team.

Vyond’s marketing presentation maker is jam-packed with templates, which come in three categories.

Contemporary: This 2D experience is filled with animations built around common business concepts.
Business-Friendly: Under ‘Business Friendly,’ access even more 2D animation templates by the hundreds.
Whiteboard Animation: If you want to make your marketing presentation a bit less conventional, there’s also classic whiteboard animation with dynamic drawing.

Vyond Video Styles

For this review, we’ve chosen one of Vyond’s ‘Contemporary Video Styles,’ which is great for building the perfect presentation for an upcoming annual digital marketing meeting. After making a video style choice, you are taken to your template, which you can change at any point.

Vyond’s Contemporary templates look and feel more like interactive marketing presentation builder templates than templates offered under the Business-Friendly and Whiteboard Animation sections.

Vyond Presentation Tools

Editor

The editor itself is filled with capabilities including the ability to drag-and-drop content. Adding and taking away elements is also made easy, and can be done from your timeline, which can be seen just below your presentation.

There, add slides (templates), zoom in/out, add transitions, change slide length, and edit the music in your presentation.

To add more slides, click the plus that appears on your presentation timeline. Once you click on the plus, you are presented with a ton of options for changing or adding to your current template.

Here are the template categories digital marketing professionals can choose from:

Call to action
Charts and data
Comparisons
Concepts
Ending
Office
Procedure
Training

Editing your presentation can mean adding a lot of creative and engaging elements to your presentation. This includes everything from music to creating a character to lead the presentation, freeing you up for questions at the end.

There are other elements that extend beyond the ones listed above, that include:

Vyond Character Feature

Vyond Royalty-Free Music Library

One standout feature offered by Vyond is the ability to make characters both walk/run as well as talk.

SEO

There are no SEO features offered by Vyond. This is vastly different than marketing presentation builders like emaze, which does give marketers the chance to edit SEO elements.

Sharing, Exporting & Saving Options

When you’re done with your presentation, Vyond gives you the option to download the presentation in HD (720p) and full HD (1080p). Another plus for marketing professionals is that they can even download animated GIFs of their marketing presentations in three sizes:

248*240
640*360
854*480

Support

Vyond has a fairly inclusive help center. Marketers can access Vyond’s Help Center from the platform by clicking on the ‘Help’ button which appears throughout the editor section. Perform actions like use keywords or type questions to locate answers to FAQs and whatever else you’re trying to locate.

In Vyond’s Help Center, you will also find countless articles, tips and insider tricks on how to use the presentation builder better. There, you can also access community forums, webinars and submit a help desk request.

Note: You cannot access the community forum feature without a Vyond Professional account.

Vyond Support Center

Contact Vyond’s support team at +1-513-299-7108 Monday-Friday from midnight to 5:30 PM PT. Vyond support does not operate on holidays.

There is currently no live chat support offered for plans below Vyond Premium accounts. Vyond has a quick response time to submitted tickets, but we must add that it does depend on the volume of emails Vyond receives. In general, the process is usually a fairly quick turn around.

Pricing/Plans

Vyond offers four relevant plans, three of which we’ll highlight under the ‘Business’ category: Vyond Essential, Vyond Premium, and Vyond Professional. Vyond’s final plan can be found in the Enterprise section of plans, and it’s called Vyond Professional for Enterprise.

You can access a free trial for 14-days. With a trial, access unlimited features. The only disadvantage is you do have one restriction which forbids you from downloading your presentations. You can share them, but a Vyond watermark will show until you upgrade to a premium account.

Choose to pay for your plan on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis, although Vyond’s annual plans afford you the most amount of discounts.

Each of the above plans includes the following capabilities:

Unlimited video production
Unlimited download/export
Import audio & image files
Import MP4 video files

Pros & Cons

Pros

The editor is easy to navigate and gives you the ability to drag-and-drop elements directly into your presentation.
Vyond offers access to a free music library.
There are no SEO features.

Cons

There is no live support unless you purchase a Vyond Professional account. Additionally, priority support is also offered on this plan.
There is no way to improve your presentation’s SEO with the Vyond.
There is no analytics feature.

Bottom Line

Vyond’s marketing presentation maker is quite good. It is, however, lacking in some basic features such as the ability to edit presentation SEO elements. Its editor is simple and manageable and really allows for a tremendous amount of customization.

If you want to add your voice to the presentation, the process is simple, and you can even make your characters appear as if they are talking perfectly in-sync with your uploaded audio. This is largely possible thanks to Vyond’s lip-sync feature.

With a royalty-free music library, flexible payment options and fast customer support turnaround, Vyond is great for marketing professionals looking to create a fun and engaging presentation.
