Doodly Review: Doodly in 2023 - Should you get it?

[@TwinkiesDesigns]

This is very misleading because you have the Enterprise Membership. The assets you’re showing are not included for $67, and a lot more money would need to be spent in order get access to those.

[@Big-GVideo]

Sorry but I disagree. I do have enterprise assets, but the video is not misleading as any enterprise assets have a green mark next to it. So you will be able to see what is enterprise in the video. Some of the introduction parts of the video was made with a non-Doodly software. Where Doodly has been used in the intro I've stated 'made with Doodly'

[@NekonataVirino]

Can you tell me in the £67 version if there is an option to not have a hand to the drawing, but to just have a pen or just have the drawing appear. I can’t seem to find an answer to that anywhere else

[@wnose]

If you had to hazard a guess, how long does it take to produce a 9 minute Dooodly video? Say 3-4 hours? Is it better to do the narration first then match the scenes to the narration?

[@Big-GVideo]

9 minutes is a long video for whiteboard, so yes about 4 hours. I would narrate first and then fit the scenes to the narration. It's easier to do this in an external editor, as you can speed up or slow down the video for fine-tuning when matching to narration

[@JayDouglas01]

Seriously considering buying Doodly for a new KZbin channel, and your course is just what I was hoping to find - Thanks!

[@Big-GVideo]

Excellent to hear! Thanks for the comment

[@elnidogaming]

Thanks for the vid Big G! Questions for you: What is the difference between STANDARD and ENTERPRISE versions of Doodly, Toonly, Talkia, People Builder, Pyks & Voomly? (Voomly Cloud and Voomly Pro) Does that mean with ENTERPRISE you will have more options to choose from in Doodly, Toonly, Talkia, People Builder, Pyks & Voomly? Also, does stock video also come with these products? (Eg: Storyblocks, Pixabay, or Pexels) And finally, are you able to import a ready made voice-over mp3 file to Doodly's timeline? Thank you!

[@Big-GVideo]

No stock comes with Doodly, but it does come with assets that can be drawn in. The difference between standard and enterprise is that enterprise has more assets available. Yes you can import an mp3 into the Doodly timeline

[@elnidogaming]

@@Big-GVideo Thanks for replying. I forgot to ask...if I upload a 10-minute voiceover to Doodly, is that possible too? BTW...I can't find Doodly "Enterprise". You mentioned a one-off fee for this option, but I can't seem to find it.

[@Big-GVideo]

I’m not sure as I’ve never uploaded a file that long. I don’t think there are any limits on length of video or uploads, but I can’t be sure about 10 minutes. You would find it easier to work with audio in a video editor. Suggest you export the Doodly video and then import into a video editor and then add your voice over

[@elnidogaming]

@@Big-GVideoThanks, I'll look into a solution. BTW...you didn't answer my question on where to find Doodly "Enterprise". The one-off payment option.

Nice summary of the product. What kind of custom image file can be imported...raster graphics (eg. JPEG, PNG, APNG, GIF, WebP, BMP, MPEG4) , vector graphics (eg. SVG, WMF, EPS, PDF, CDR, AI), or both?

[@Big-GVideo]

Normal and vector graphics can be imported. The specific file formats are not listed (in Doodly), but I've imported jpegs, PNGs and SVG. Hope that helps

hi man , is it legal to sell videos made in doodly ?, I would like to use doodly , I like point-and-click custom draw paths but on their site they mentioned ""As long as you are a Doodly member, the images provided are royalty-free for you to use within the software, however, the pre-loaded components are not available for download or use outside of Doodly."

[@Big-GVideo]

Yes there's no problems with selling videos made in Doodly. I think they are saying that you cannot use the images outside of the Doodly software (e.g. download them and use them on a poster made in Photoshop)

[@MichaelFinancialJourney]

@@Big-GVideo thank you for response

[@jeannesmithHDD]

So my concern before deciding to buy is this - is this legit? I have been scammed recently by someone stealing the advertisement and click funnels. I am waiting for a cc refund currently. Secondly, I don't mind paying $67 and doing ad-ons, but how many ad-ons? I want commercial rights. Is that included in the $67? I will want the color option (saw that this costs $67 as an ad-on, is this correct?) What do the ad-ons cost - $67 each? It is a pain to go through all the click funnels to know what I want. Should I do the trial version first? I am interested in your course as well.

[@Big-GVideo]

Hello. Doodly is legit, but has taken the hard sell approach. This means that you cannot have a free trial. Instead you buy it and have a 30 day period to get a refund if you don't like it. You don't have to buy all the add ons at once and I would suggest you first try Doodly on its own before buying the add ons. In my course (doodlylearntube.com) I explain what the add ons do. Hope you like it and let me know how you get on

Ok thank you

[@samthiago4106]

Thanks for your videos... Can you pass your hand over the image without drawing anything?? Just to point out some part.

[@Big-GVideo]

No you cannot do this, but it would be an excellent feature if you could

[@samthiago4106]

Thanks for answering me, I solved it by placing lines or circles on the part I want to point out and lowering the opacity to 1%. The only problem is that the hand draws too high and covers what I want to show, but that's it.

[@Big-GVideo]

That’s a good idea

[@devaes]

but on the Doodly website, it is posted $490 for standard. And it is annually. Hmm why it became $67 ?

[@Big-GVideo]

Sorry I don't understand what you are asking. Can you explain please?

[@margaretrattenbury7873]

I think the question relates to one of mine: is Doodly going out of business or selling the business to a new owner…to offer such a low price compared to their normal price? Will support still be provided in a year or two or are they trying to make money quick off a sinking ship or a business they’ll no longer control? Or, are they hoping to up-sell customers until they are making money back through higher cost subscriptions?

[@Big-GVideo]

@@margaretrattenbury7873 The Doodly business model is to sell as much upsells as they can. You can buy several upgrades and you can buy templates and assets from their market place too. They also sell other products (Toonly, Voomly & talkia etc). There will be some people who pay over the odds on monthly plans, but people should only buy Doodly for $69. I've been with Doodly for a few years now. I personally don't see them going out of business or selling to another company.

[@antunfagarazzi9141]

ITS A SCAM DO NOT TRY The platform offers outdated graphics and I wantet to cancel my subscription right away - BUT this is almost impossible because you need to sign in to a special billing page that suddently doesnt recognize my email, which the platform accepted when I signed in...??? SCAM - trying to rip you off by making it impossiple to unsubscribe....

[@Big-GVideo]

Have you contacted support?

[@bizbuzziovideo]

Thanks for this great review - I'm interested in Doodly and your course - can I ask if there is an option to clone a video built in Doodly - so a Template library can be established to speed up production - and on the Local Business side how are the graphics available for Trades and Services? lots of options or not so many? I expect I can upload an image of say a carpenter and it will work with an uploaded image?

[@Big-GVideo]

You can duplicate a project easily in Doodly. You can't put your own projects into the templates library (templates are Doodly corporate only), but you can put your project into your own folder and then duplicate form there. You can upload your own images (and I show this in the course). It's difficult to know what your looking for but there are 4 carpenter tools and lots of other tools for trades people. No software will always cover 100% of the assets you need. The main focus areas for local business would be business assets, real estate, healthcare, software, property, SEO etc. Does that help?

Also please tell which one will be best tool > Create Studio Explaindio Videoscribe Doodly Powtoon

[@Big-GVideo]

Thanks for reaching out. I don’t think one package will achieve your requirements. Doodlemaker is a cloud based whiteboard animation software. If you need 2/3d then create studio may be best for you but it is not cloud based. PowToon is cloud based but is very expensive and is a subscription. Videoscribe has a desktop and online version, but is a subscription. I’ve reviewed all of these softwares including the cloud version of Videoscribe, so do check out those videos

[@tdemjayz]

I think Mango is way better than Doodly. With Doodly, you must add icons according to appearance and you can't customize appearance of every element

Mango certainly has more features, but Doodly is so simple…

I think you possibly may be missing something. Doodly is software that hand draws text and images onto the screen. It has included media and you can add your own too. What did you want to do with it? If it's not right for you then you can get your money back within 30 days. If you let me know what you want to do possibly I can help direct you in the right direction?

[@carolinebateman4240]

@@Big-GVideo Thanks for your quick reply. VERY helpful indeed. When I bought it last night I had not watched your video where you said you paid $97 for the enterprise. The videos I had watched did not mention it. So I wanted to see what was there before paying more. However, I do not want to pay a monthly subscription if I can help it. but I cannot see a way of getting it for $97 now. Is there? Plus I still have no idea that it will meet my requirements. I am disappointed that there are so few scenes to choose from or kids to include in the classrooms. I teach kids with special needs and teachers to teach kids and need to show UK rather than US schools. I am tempted to purchase People Builder but then I need to subscribe. :( Perhaps I need to get the refund and then purchase the Enterprise option. I need lots of different children with different expressions and the ability to search for scenes that I can make look more British. Can I ask what you would do? I am finding your channel very helpful. Thank you.

Because you sell courses in Doodly, I don't see how this can be an unbiased review. It is my understanding that the $67 introduction price will not get you far.

[@Big-GVideo]

Agree, as I've made a Doodly course you cannot take my word that this is an unbiased review. However, I've made many Doodly videos (both reviews and tutorials) before I made the course. Please check out my previous Doodly videos and livestreams. In regards to the value of the $67 the only issue is the number of assets. The $67 version has the same functionality as the upgraded versions. The upgrades give you more assets. So would you experience a problem with the $67 version? It's hard to say, but even with the upgrades you'll always be needing additional assets (as no service will give you assets for every conceivable scenario you'd want to make a video about. Thankfully you can add you own images and sounds to Doodly. Hope that helps.
