In brief

You’ll create a simple 2D animated video from scratch—building a cartoon character, animating its movements and expressions, syncing voiceovers (via mic, text-to-speech, or pre-recorded audio), and adding background music. Perfect for beginners using Animaker’s online tools, with no prior animation experience needed.

Key steps

  1. Pick a background and set the scene for your animation.
  2. Set how long each scene or action lasts in the video.
  3. Add facial expressions and body movements to your character.
  4. Use the Smart Move option to animate smooth character transitions.
  5. Record live voiceover, use text-to-speech, or import pre-recorded audio.

Questions & answers

Can I use my own voiceover or does it require text-to-speech?

Both: you can record live audio, use text-to-speech, or import pre-recorded files.
