Whiteboard animation hand styles

Draw your whiteboard animation with one of six hands, or with none. Switch hands at any time without redrawing, and keep the hand in transparent exports.

Pick one of six hands, or none, and the hand holds the brush through the whole drawing and stays in the clip you export. It is a choice you can change at any time: switching hands never redraws the picture or spends credits.

What you can export

Hands
Six photographed hands holding a brush, each on a long forearm
No hand
The strokes appear on their own, as if the picture draws itself
Where you choose
In Studio, beside the drawing; the export uses the hand you see
Transparent and layered exports
The hand is part of the clip; in layers it shows only while that layer is drawn
Cost
Free to change: the hand is not part of the drawing’s credits

Choosing a hand

  • A hand for teaching

    A visible hand reads as someone explaining at a board: it suits lessons, explainers and training.

  • No hand for overlays

    Over footage or in a busy edit, drawing without a hand keeps attention on the picture.

  • Match your audience

    The six hands differ in sleeve and brush; pick the one that fits your presenter or brand.
