Animated videos can be fun to watch, but traditionally they have been very difficult to create, even for talented artists. GoAnimate changes this by making it incredibly easy to create animation. They supply thousands of different characters that have already been professionally animated. All you have to do is drag and drop them onto the interface and configure them.
The web application also makes it extremely simple to lip-sync characters, which is another task that is usually difficult and time consuming for animators. You can either record your audio directly in GoAnimate or upload an audio file, and the program will automatically lip-sync the characters. Afterward, you can download your creations to your computer or transfer them to your favorite video sharing site. It is that easy.
On the down side, GoAnimate is very expensive. Prices range from $39 per month to $159 per month, and you do not even get full HD-quality video at the low end. Though they do offer annual plans that reduce the price somewhat. Also, while you can produce decent quality animation with the product, the quality is nowhere near that of video created by an experienced and professional animator. Finally, the product requires a really fast and reliable Internet connection.
