Conclusion
Each style has its own library of scenes, props, and characters. The style you choose should fit your message and your audience. Both the Business Friendly and Whiteboard style make good training videos and are good for showing people actually using your product or service. The Video Infographics style is great for showing data and more abstract concepts, and is good for pairing with your static infographics. If there is something in the style that doesn’t quite work with your video, you can always customize it.
