Creating a New Powtoon

  • Updated
After logging in to Powtoon, you will reach the Workspace page. This is the page to access when you want to create a new Powtoon.
You can create a new Powtoon using either of the following methods:
1. Use a ready-made template
2. Start from scratch with a blank Powtoon
 

Use a ready-made template (Edit mode)

A ready-made template requires only minimal editing, enabling you to create a Powtoon quickly and easily. When you use a template, the Powtoon Studio opens, by default, in Edit mode:
This mode provides you with all the functionality you need to quickly turn a template into a
unique Powtoon. See Creating a Powtoon in Edit mode to learn how to work with a template.
 

Start from scratch with a blank Powtoon (Create mode)

When you start a Powtoon from scratch, the Powtoon Studio opens, by default, in Create mode:

This mode provides you with access to all the Powtoon tabs (scenes, background, text, characters, etc.) and displays the timeline at the bottom of the slide. In this mode, you can:
  1. Create a Powtoon by selecting content from any of the Powtoon tabs and libraries
  2. Control the timing of the objects on the slide by using the timeline

Click Blank to get started:     
 
Notes:
1. When creating your Powtoon, you can switch between Edit and Create modes.

2. Once you create your Powtoon, it will be opened in the Studio according to the last mode in
    which it was saved.

For example: If you began working in Edit mode and then switched to Create mode
    before saving your Powtoon, your Powtoon will subsequently be opened in Create
    mode.
3. If the column on the left side has been closed, click on the Blank Powtoon icon as it appears in the image below:
