Creating videos with GoAnimate

GoAnimate lets you can create new videos and apply professional finishing touches and special effects. With Lectora Online, you can link your GoAnimate account and export your videos directly from GoAnimate into a project.

To create a new video and add it to project:

In the Project Explorer, select the location in which you want to add the video object.
Either click the Tools side-tab and click GoAnimate or click the Tools ribbon and click GoAnimate in the Create New group. The GoAnimate site opens.
Click MAKE A VIDEO to start making videos. If you are new to GoAnimate, take the automated tour to learn about how to create and save videos. Saved videos are added to the list of your videos under Your Account > Your Videos.

To export a video to Lectora Online, click Export to Lectora Online in the Export section. Next, click the output resolution (1080p, 720p or 360p) for the video. The video is converted for playing on Lectora Online.

GoAnimate's conversion process can take several minutes depending on the number of resources, transitions, and effects that are used in the video. If it takes longer than an hour, it's likely the video contains complexity issues. Consult GoAnimate support (support@goanimate.com) if issues persist.

When the conversion completes, click Watch on Lectora Online. This launches Lectora Online in a new tab.
Log in to Lectora Online and open the project into which you want to add the GoAnimate video.
In the Project Explorer, select the location in which you want to add the video.
On the Insert ribbon, click the drop-down list under Video in the Add Media group and select Media Library or click the My Library side-tab located on the right-side of the work area. The Media Library opens.
From the Media Library, navigate the Shared Media folder and double-click the video or drag it onto the page.

The GoAnimate video is added to the project. For detailed information about using GoAnimate, visit the GoAnimate HelpCenter.
