Vidra: Video Creator iPad App
If you're looking for an iPad app to easily create explainer and other types of videos, check out the new Vidra app.
It’s A LOT like Adobe Voice.
- Make individual slides and add your voice to each.
- Large image / clip art library or upload your own
- Sound library for background music or use your own.
- Automatically combines slides into a single video.
But what makes this app better(?) is that the video will
export to your iPad’s Photo Album and/or Youtube. So the final video
isn’t stuck only on a separate website like Adobe Voice.
- Also, it doesn’t require an account.
- You can draw your own sketches.
- Text boxes are more traditional and have more space.
