Question: I'm looking for a way to create custom animations with my own characters, is there a tool that offers a user-friendly interface for this?

If you want a relatively easy-to-use tool to create your own animations with your own characters, AniMagic is a great option. The tool can turn your drawings into animations with options like multiple characters, customizable dance moves and different backgrounds. Its interface is designed to be easy to use regardless of your technical skill level, so it's great for creating fun and shareable animated content.

Another tool worth a look is Make-A-Video, which uses AI to create videos based on text prompts. It's not geared specifically for character animation, but it's got strong text-to-image and motion interpolation abilities. That means you can add motion to a single image or fill in the gaps between two images, and it can produce good, realistic video.

If you want to create videos with talking avatars, Mango AI offers a lot of options. You can upload portrait photos and scripts to create engaging videos with AI-generated talking characters. Mango AI includes modules for creating animation videos, whiteboard animation, sketch character videos and more, so it's good for business, education and personal projects.
