Setting a theme for VideoScribe browser

Check out this article for best practices when it comes to setting a theme for your project

Setting a design theme for your project will make your video stand out. Professional videos have a unified look and feel, and that can come down to choosing cohesive images, colors, and designs for your project. 

You will want to focus on the following components when setting a theme for your project in VideoScribe:

  1. Backgrounds
    Backgrounds have a massive visual impact. The default white background is great for classic whiteboard videos. But to create videos in a different style you can use photos, patterns, shapes, images, and colors to make your background stand out.

  2. Hands
    Choose a hand or pen to use for your draw animations. Consider your audience and your narration voice when making a choice.

  3. Fonts
    If you’re including written content, keep in mind your audience, your brand and the message of your story when choosing fonts to use for your video.

  4. Images
    Consistency is key when choosing an image style. VideoScribe has many image options, from stick figures to stylized figures and icons. Be sure that your image choice works with the rest of your theme.

  5. Colors
    You can select colors for your backgrounds, shapes and fonts. You can all change the colors for many of the images in the VideoScribe library. Make sure the colors you use support your message. When making a video, focus on emotive, complementary, and contrasting colors.

  6. Layout
    There are many layout options, but again, consistency is important. Using set positions for components, such as titles and repeating images makes it much easier for your audience to stay focused on your content without distractions.
