Vyond Monthly: October 2024
The Vyond halls are abuzz as we gear up to take our newest features on the road for #DevLearn, November 6-7!
If you’ll be there too, drop by and see us in booth #213. We can’t wait to show you (in person) how our new all-in-one Vyond can help you create videos, now in an eye-popping range of formats and styles, faster than ever before.
And don't miss "From Magic to Reality: How GenAI is Helping the Enterprise Win in 2024," hosted by our Head of Product Marketing, Enrique Olives, on November 7 at 1:15pm.
Hope we’ll see you in Vegas!
October News and Resources 🔔
Product releases & enhancements ✨
Custom avatars are here! As an add-on service, we can help you create a bespoke digital representation of a character or person (with their consent), including their appearance and voice. Curious about how it works? Give us a shout.
By popular demand: Now with Vyond Go, you can generate an original video from an existing script. Or convert a dusty old PDF or PowerPoint (or .doc or .txt) into a new video employees will actually engage with. Learn more and give it a whirl (and let us know what you think)!
And in case you missed news of another much-sought-after request: Enterprise users can now add dynamic logos to your characters’ outfits and headgear with Applying Logos.

Helping Sales navigate change with Vyond
Sparking behavior change is hard. Trying to do it with text-only, snooze-worthy documents makes it harder.
Laurel Schulert and her learning experience team at a global tech company used the “fun, memorable” power of Vyond storytelling to create training about a new sales methodology that reeled the reps right in. Watch the video.
Customer Feature: Afke de Jong
When Dutch entrepreneur Afke de Jong and her business partner were practicing physicians, they were frustrated to see how poorly medicines were used. “In Western countries, on average, forty to fifty percent of medicines are not used correctly, which leads to all kinds of side effects and reduced efficacy,” Afke says.
To address this problem and the gaps in patient understanding, Afke and her partner launched @Careanimations, a subscription-based content service for health care providers and pharmacies. Her team turns complicated medical information into videos that patients can easily understand.
With Vyond, Careanimations produces three main types of videos: drug overviews created based on text-heavy drug package inserts; instructional videos that might show patients how to inject medicine with a syringe or use an inhaler; and general explainer videos on topics like antibiotics.
Ten years in, Careanimations’ impact continues to grow. “We’ve covered almost every medicine in the Netherlands, and now also in Germany and France,” Afke says.
