VideoScribe allows you to change the default drawing/animation hand for all projects and for individual elements within a project.
Changing the default hand for all project
- Click on the 'Settings'
button in the left-hand panel - Here you can select a default animation type to use for each animation stage, and if applicable you can also select a default hand or pen
- For each animation style you can either select the same animation settings for all element types, or separate ones for images, shapes and text
Top tip: Select the animation type 'Hand draw' if you want to select a hand, 'Pen draw' to use a pen, or just 'Draw' to have elements draw with no hand.
Changing the hand for an individual element
