Last week, I wanted to create an animated whiteboard explainer video, and after trying several tools, I thought: why not try Apple's Swiss Army Knife (a.k.a. Keynote).
To my delight, I was able to create the video from beginning to end entirely in Keynote in less than a day using basic shapes, builds, soundtracks and even recording voice-over using live slideshow mode.
It turns out that if you add a stroke to any shape in Keynote, it makes it possible to add a "Line Draw" animation to that shape, which makes it look like it's been drawn by hand in real time (especially if you add a marker/pencil/chalk/ink border style to it).
And if you use Magic Move for slide transitions, it creates the illusion of a camera moving over the drawing surface and zooming in and out.
I was so impressed with the result that I decided to create a step-by-step tutorial for anyone else who wants to use it for the same purpose.
Keynote continues to amaze me with every update and feature release.
In the past, I have used it for UI design, print design, and for creating social media images and animated video overlays. Now, I can also use it as a whiteboard animation tool.
And I still can’t believe it’s a free tool. I would have gladly paid $100 for it.
Well done, Apple!
P.S. Let me know in the comments if you have any suggestions or questions.
