- The template can be set up to work best with websites like YouTube and Facebook (horizontal), or with Instagram (square) or phones (vertical)

- Images can be added from your computer or imported from Facebook, Instagram, or Google Photos. There are also premium image collections on the website, plus other assets like scenes, backgrounds, characters, props, and shapes

How does it work
- Step 1: Script: Create a script that describes what will happen in every “scene”.
- Step 2: Voice-Over Guide / Background Music: Choose a background track for your music or record a voice-over guide. This means that you need an mp3 file of the TEXT PARTS of the script read out as they will appear in the Pow-toon.
- Step 3: Dividing the Slides: Start creating slides according to the script. Each slide represents a scene and an idea as outlined in the script. Try to keep your slides short, this way you can put a lot of interesting visuals in your Pow-toon.
- Step 4: Populate the Slides: Now it’s time to add graphics, background, props, images and characters to your slides.
- Step 5: Timing: Now you have to time it all. This is the last step and is actually one that can have a significant effect on the “professional” look and feel of your final result. The Pow-Toon timeline is designed to allow you to easily adjust the appearance and timing of all the elements on the screen.
