Powtoon is Web-based animation software that allows users to create animated presentations by manipulating pre-created objects, imported images, provide music and user created voice-overs. Powtoon uses an Adobe Flex engine to generate an XML file that can be played in the Powtoon online viewer, export to YouTube or downloaded as an MP4 file. Powtoon is also available in Google Chrome store.
