Social enterprise leverages site's AI Animation tool to manufacture YouTube shorts, promoting accessibility and inclusivity.
**WeCanAccess Empowers Global Reach with AI Animation**
In a remarkable turn of events, WeCanAccess, a UK-based social enterprise, has revolutionised its video production process by embracing the power of AI Animation. This cutting-edge tool has enabled the team to create engaging animated videos, particularly for YouTube Shorts, at an unprecedented speed and quality.
The journey began when WeCanAccess shared video tutorials from AI Animation, empowering their team to start animating videos independently. The team then converted their 2D characters into 3D FBX files and joined the AI Animation Character upload beta program.
With AI Animation, WeCanAccess was able to animate and add lip-synced dialogue to their custom 3D characters in mere minutes. This efficiency allowed the team to start creating individual YouTube Shorts and publishing them on their YouTube channel within a week.
The results were impressive. Some videos reached hundreds of views within days, a 5x increase compared to their previous videos. In some cases, YouTube Shorts videos published by the WeCanAccess team received 24x the number of views per video than their long-form content.
The AI animation tool used by WeCanAccess boasts several key features that enhance their video production process. For instance, AI-driven slide deck generation and animation tools like Canva’s Magic Design and Magic Animate allow for quick application of consistent animation styles across text, charts, and images.
Furthermore, the efficiency of asset reuse and rigging, enabled by advanced animation software like Cartoon Animator 5 and AI tools, enables WeCanAccess to rig characters and props efficiently from layered PSD files and reuse assets across storyboard panels.
The streamlined workflow integration of the animation projects, once completed, into video editing software like Premiere Pro, eases the final assembly of animated sequences with audio, providing a polished, professional output ready for platforms such as YouTube Shorts.
The benefits of AI animation for WeCanAccess are manifold. The combination of AI-generated designs and preset animations drastically shortens the time needed to produce engaging animated videos—from weeks to days or even hours. The ability to duplicate and tweak storyboard panels allows quick iteration without sacrificing quality.
Moreover, tools like Canva focus on ease of use with minimal required customization, making it accessible for users without advanced animation expertise to create professional-grade videos. This simplicity, coupled with consistent and visually appealing output, enhances viewer engagement and maintains brand aesthetics across multiple videos.
The WeCanAccess team also leveraged Voice AI tools to enable lip-synced dialogue in 20+ languages. They used the custom character upload feature of AI Animation to bring their personalised 3D characters into the video editor.
In addition to their YouTube Shorts strategy, the WeCanAccess team is considering using the AI Animation tool for their online courses, policy presentations, lesson plans for college courses, and translating the videos into 20+ languages to reach audiences in other countries.
The team can now animate their characters to lip-sync in 20+ languages, helping them reach international audiences. The versatility of AI Animation's tools, available online, on Canva Apps, Adobe Express, and the AWS Marketplace, offers endless possibilities for WeCanAccess's future video productions.
