Doodly

Start with an outcome in mind—a 60‑second explainer, a quick lesson, or a social post—then open Doodly and choose your board style: classic white, chalkboard, greenboard, or sleek glass. Begin from a template or a blank scene. Drag characters, props, and text into place; the on‑screen hand draws each item automatically. Set the draw order and speed per element so key points appear in the right sequence. Convert bullet points into short scenes, and keep each scene focused on a single idea. Swap the hand style to match your audience and tone, then preview to confirm pacing and clarity.

If you have a script, paste it into your notes and record a voiceover directly inside the project or import a pre‑recorded track. Drop markers at key sentences and sync the artwork by adjusting the timeline for each asset. Bringing in a logo, chart, or screenshot? Upload it and use Smart Draw to create custom paths: click along the edges to define how the hand reveals shapes and lines. This is ideal for branded intros, product shots, and data visuals that need to feel hand‑crafted. Add text callouts where you need emphasis and use simple motion to keep eyes on the message rather than on flashy effects.

For repeatable content—weekly tips, course modules, sales updates—build a reusable scene stack. Save a branded opener with your colors, typical hand style, and standard lower‑thirds text. Duplicate the project for new episodes, swap in fresh visuals, and update the script. Keep versioned files for each platform. When exporting, pick the format and resolution that fit your channel strategy; produce widescreen for your site and training hub, and a shorter cut for social feeds. Doodly runs on Windows and macOS and can be installed on multiple computers, making it simple to hand off drafts to teammates for reviews or voiceover swaps.

Here’s a fast workflow you can repeat: outline three to five beats, select a board style that matches your brand mood, place assets in story order, record or import narration, align draw timings to sentence breaks, add minimal text for clarity, preview and tighten any slow moments, then export in the size you need. Use this for product explainers, course intros, event announcements, nonprofit appeals, or lighthearted greetings. The tool handles the drawing; you focus on message, timing, and a clear call to action.
