I have used Go Animate for a while now. At first it was very difficult to get it to do what you wanted. It took some time and research to get it right. Once we figured it out, we started to use it as a team more. I will tell you that I am not completely satisfied with the program. It has crashed on us a few times in the middle of either reviewing a scene or creating one. I have lost entire scenes and bits and pieces of others. As a team, we have decided to finish out the subscription but I am looking for other options.
I love go animate, although like Colleen it has crashed on me halfway through creating or reviewing a screen. So I tend t save really frequently.
Sometimes getting the timing of the animations tight can be tricky because you don't see a visual 'stack' like you do in the PowerPoint animation screen or in Powtoon.
The other issue is that I can't create go animate in anything other than IE, this is to do with Flash I think. I can view it in other browsers, in fact I tend to only preview in chrome because its quicker!
The characters are fantastic in go animate and being able to create your own is brilliant, everyone wants their own avatar created!!
Hi Allen, I love the look of Crazy Talk 3 and will definitely give it a try. Just wondering if you have used it, your opinion on its application in elearning? Would love to see an example if you have one.
What exactly are you looking for? I've used GoAnimate before and have found it easy to use. Also I love how you can "customize" the characters and create your own background. But if you would some recommendations for animation software that you can create your own custom animations, I can recommend a few.

Hi I have just subscribed to Powtoon and want to integrate with Articulate 360 courses for greater engagement.
Anyone have any hints and tips for the best way to import and publish (our LMS has issues with different scorm versions)?
Also has anyone integrated animation files in Rise yet?
