How to use the Doodly Interface | Doody Tutorials

[@RuppsLernVideos]

Hi Pamela, I just bought the Doodly Standard version today, downloaded it AND: DID NOT play around with it because I watched your basic video tutorials FIRST. Just AWESOME! Just your Doodly Interface "tour" is worth a pot of gold! You explain everything with a pleasant, professional, and articulate voice , and the tempo for me as an absolute beginner was perfect. I watched three tutorials, one was called "mistakes that beginners make". The tips are very useful because you show what beginners do wrong but you also show alternative examples which are very convincing. I have learned a ton without even touching the actual software. But tomorrow I will make my first short Doodly video. I´m all excited. Thanks!

[@wesfriesen8070]

Simple straight forward overview that shows the features of Doodly and how each feature/tool can be used.

[@doodlyofficial6033]

Thank you for this feedback!

[@911Maxie]

This is a good idea. Now that I am retired and building my own video production company, I will be spending more time integrating the Doodly with my live action and MOGRT productions. Thank you for doing this!

[@doodlyofficial6033]

You're welcome, Michael! Glad to hear that :)

[@CameraCoach]

Pamela is easy to understand, doesn't go too fast, pronounces words the way I'm used to hearing them and doesn't get sidetracked - all of which are necessary for learning. Too bad other video makers aren't as savvy!

[@doodlyofficial6033]

Thank you, Bruce!

[@rinoingenito7896]

Just bought into the program and now going through the videos one by one. Good to see all the functions being shown on how to use them. Thank you.

[@doodlyofficial6033]

Glad it was helpful!

[@b2enetworkTV2]

Yes, It's official. We bought the software and look forward to incorporating this baby into our productions. We appreciate the welcome we have received and Pamela, thanks for taking us through the basics. You make it look so easy. Thanks.

[@doodlyofficial6033]

Best of luck! We appreciate for taking time to provide feedback too!

[@crystalclearhealth]

I am totally new at this, so thank you for making these short "how to" videos. It is helping me to understand how to use it.

[@doodlyofficial6033]

Our pleasure to assist. We'll continue to add more tutorial videos to help.

[@thecompanythatcounts1906]

Thanks for these video tutorials! I like the fact you do not forget about your customers after they've made the purchase :-) I bought a few months ago and this marketing initiative is helping me get back to try and actually make use of the software. Thanks!

[@doodlyofficial6033]

You are so welcome! Thank you for the feedback as well.

[@anyangata]

Late starter here, now moving forward to day 2 training series.. thank you for this helpful introductory video..

It's always good to go back over the basics. Good pacing on this video.

Thanks for the video. It has been a while since I last used Doodly. But it keeps inspiring me.

[@doodlyofficial6033]

Good to hear!

[@lorensanders8501]

I bought Doodly last summer, but before I could delve into learning and using it, the whole family got sick with Covid (I almost died), and it's been a long road getting life back to "normal" (still!), but I am just getting back to Doodly. IF this is in the software somewhere and I have yet to find it - I would greatly appreciate being shown where/how; but if not...what I think Doodly REALLY needs is for an "Eraser Hand" type of graphic of a hand holding an eraser, or washrag even, that we could use to wipe off/erase what we have written out. Say like you write something as a chalk drawing or text, and the hand could then wipe it off, erase it from the board before your next drawing/text begins. THIS would be an excellent and highly useful transition tool in this program.

[@TheKrazyLobster]

That is a great idea. I don't know if it already exists, but I would love to see this implemented as well

[@Prodidactica.oficial]

Excellent introduction to handling this tool. Stay tuned for the next videos. Thank you!

[@doodlyofficial6033]

Thanks for watching! More to come soon :)

[@maggiesizer1764]

This is awesome. It has been sitting since I purchased it because I did not understand how to use it. I will continue watching and hope I never miss one. Thank you

[@doodlyofficial6033]

Glad it was helpful!

[@macadoo092656]

Thanks for starting this series. Sadly, I purchased Doodly a long time ago and couldn't figure it out so I stopped trying. I'm going to give it an honest effort through this series. I watched this on a work computer and the computer with the software is on my home computer, so I'll check it out there.

[@doodlyofficial6033]

We hope this series helps you, Sherrie! More to come :)

[@chaet8983]

I just bought Doodly in the last week. I found this video very helpful! I made my first Doodly the first day I bought it! Loving how simple it is!

[@doodlyofficial6033]

Glad it was helpful! More videos to come :)

[@probusclubofmidland-huroni4924]

I loved the Doodly Interface Tutorial. I love the idea of duplicating a previous video to use as a template for future ones. Very well explained and helpful! Thanks!

[@doodlyofficial6033]

Glad it was helpful!

[@raygreer1451]

This was a good jumpstart for software I purchased on a lark. The opening intro video makes the software look easy enough to use that I may try playing around with it. I look forward to the rest of the series in bite sized pieces that I can fit into a break in my day.

[@probusclubofmidland-huroni4924]

I found that I was able to create a great DOODLY on the first day I purchased it [ a few months ago] as the software it fairly intuitive and it was easy to create and modify my video. I was very pleased with my final product.

[@doodlyofficial6033]

Great to hear!

[@stevekaye400]

As someone who is completely clueless to using technology for these type of things, and felt a little overwhelmed to even try it, this 'calmed" me down a bit and it was a very easy to understand tutorial. Thanks!

[@doodlyofficial6033]

Thank you for the wonderful feedback. Feel free to check Doodly (www.doodly.com)

[@jmustudentleadershipcenter7289]

This was a good beginning providing a foundational understanding of the basics. Nicely done. Looking forward to more videos.

Good overview. I had bought this a while ago but was working primarily on my iPad. Now that I have a MacBook looking forward to trying this out.

[@doodlyofficial6033]

Glad to hear that!

[@jorgefranco3216]

In Doodly I would improve the transitions between scenes, add a hand that can "move" a drawing without having to erase it and improve the guides for the "panoramic" option.

[@doodlyofficial6033]

Thanks for the feedback, Jorge!

[@peggykimmey1662]

[@mohamedsharkawy1490]

It is a good start and I'm willing to continue wishing to be much better in Doodly videos and hope to add some features like hand moves titles for example and can erase with something different like a sleeve's shirt or piece of cloth and add snap fingers will make a better attentions.

doodly is really a very handy tool and it is so fun to use. if I may suggest - most probably some already mentioned it before.. - it would also be nice to have a possibility to have single items fading out of the scene in various ways and replacements falling into the scene (could be drawn or popping up, flying in, etc.) as of now, very straight forward tool, easy to use and provides wonderful results.

[@doodlyofficial6033]

I have been using Doodly for 9 months teaching algebra. I went through all of the tutorials but this is a great refresher. I picked up on things that I had missed like the grid. Is there a way to draw in Doodly, like your blue arrows?

[@doodlyofficial6033]

Great to hear! With Doodly, you cannot draw your own images but if there's a particular image you want to use, you can definitely upload them into Doodly.

Enjoyed the tutorial. Would appreciate more review on the Pan/Zoom (e.g., when it is most effective to use this tool) and track features (e.g., using multiple tracks for longer scenes) and how to use them in most beneficial manner. Would also like to learn how to increase the transition between scenes, (i.e., would like longer pauses between scenes but unsure how to make sure the pauses are consistent between each scene). Is it possible to enter the same delay and duration on multiple scenes at the same time? Again, thanks for the tutorial - learned a lot.

[@TonysMusic]

The video was very good as it did not leave very much out but I knew everything that was on there as my own new doodly tutorials will show when I release my own for my academy! I would just like to say well done but did notice that on the settings for the timeline there is a difference compared to the scene setting that on the timeline one it allows you to autosave by ticking the check mark in there! I think it should have been mentioned as people might not realise it is there!

[@doodlyofficial6033]

Thanks, Tony. We appreciate your suggestion.

[@davidzermeno1908]

It would be useful to control the enter time and exit time of animations. Also it would be useful to create folders for our images collections to better find them and catalogue them.

[@TerriBuckingham]

You control the enter time and exit time of animations with the "delay" and "duration" dialogue boxes for each prop or character you insert into a scene. Delay determines how long you wait for Doodly to begin the animation once the scene starts (that's basically your enter time). And duration tells how long it will take to finish drawing the animation. . . there is no exit time per se, because everything exits at the same time at end of the scene, but if you want something to disappear before a scene finishes, this is a handy trick: I don't know if this is anywhere in the tutorials or not, but I found that if you duplicate the scene in total with the exception of the items you want to have disappear, if you get the timing right, you can make it look like a prop or character disappears during a single scene. Pretty handy.
