Before you even think about writing your first line, you need to know where the video is going.

Not the visuals. Not the animation. The point.

What are you trying to get across? What should the viewer walk away with?

Most people skip this part and just start typing whatever comes to mind.

That’s how you end up with a script that talks a lot but doesn’t really say anything.

Every whiteboard video needs a clear goal. Not five. Not three. Just one.

One goal that shapes what you say, how you say it, and how long you take to get there.

Are you trying to explain something? Sell something? Teach a process? Get someone to click a link?

Pick one.

Once you’ve got your goal, the next step is figuring out how to lead your viewer from start to finish without losing them halfway.

Whiteboard videos need structure. Not a rigid formula, but a simple rhythm that helps the message unfold clearly.

Each part of your video should give the viewer a reason to keep watching.

A straightforward structure you can use is:

So you’ve got your goal, you’ve nailed your structure. Now comes the part that trips up a lot of people: writing the actual lines.

This is where overthinking starts to creep in.

You begin second-guessing how it should sound, trying to make it “professional” or “perfect.” And that’s when things start feeling stiff.

Whiteboard animation works best when the script sounds like a real person talking.

If your tone feels honest and your flow feels natural, your viewer will stay with you no matter how complex the topic is.

Now you’ve got a script that sounds like something a real person would say.

That’s a solid start.

But whiteboard animation isn’t just about what people hear. It’s also about what they see and how both work together.

Let’s be real, this is where a lot of scripts start to fall apart.

The lines make sense on paper, but once you try to animate them, nothing feels connected. The voiceover says one thing while the visuals drift somewhere else. That disconnect breaks the flow and pulls the viewer out of the experience.

Every line you write should spark a visual.

Say “your team is drowning in paperwork,” and that’s your cue to show someone sinking under a mountain of documents.

Say “you’re juggling tasks all day,” and show a character literally juggling files, emails, or coffee mugs.

This isn’t about being overly literal. It’s about giving your viewer something visual to hang onto while the message unfolds.

You don’t need a complicated storyboard.

You just need to pause while writing and ask:

What would I show here?

Would this line hit harder with a visual?

Am I cramming too much into one scene?

If it feels unclear, split the line into two. Give the animation room to breathe. Let each scene focus on one idea at a time.

That way, your viewer doesn’t have to work to connect the dots.

Your script and visuals shouldn’t compete. They should tell the story together.

Now that you’ve matched your lines with visuals, let’s talk about timing.

Even the best script can fall flat if the pacing feels off.

Some videos fly through their points too fast. Others drag on and lose momentum halfway through.

Neither one helps the viewer stay focused.

If you want them to watch until the end, the flow needs to feel smooth from start to finish.

Obviously, you’re working with animation, not a live speaker. That means you have full control over how fast or slow each idea plays out. Use that to your advantage.

Now we’re down to the final step and that is how to close your script in a way that actually leads somewhere.

This part of your video shapes how people respond.

A clear direction helps your message land. It gives your viewer a reason to take the next step.

It also helps to think about what happens after your video finishes.

If you’re uploading to platforms like YouTube, you don’t get to choose what your viewer sees next.

It could be a completely unrelated video. It could be an ad. It could be your competitor’s face talking about the same topic.

You lose control the second your video ends.

If you want to keep your viewer in your world, you need a setup that lets you guide the journey from start to finish.

That means choosing a platform that works with your goals and supports how you want people to experience your content.

Want to know a secret?

There’s a way to control the full experience from the first frame all the way to the follow-up action without juggling five different platforms.

It’s easier than you think.

And we’re about to show you exactly how to do it.

If you’ve made it this far, you’re not just looking to write better scripts.

You’re building videos that serve a purpose.

Which means you also need a way to deliver them with the same level of thought and control.

If this isn’t your first time creating a video, you probably already know how frustrating that part can be.

If it is your first time, you're in a great position to start strong.

Let me introduce you to a tool that brings everything together without the stress, without the mess.

It’s called Voomly Cloud, and it gives you access to six connected tools, all in one place, so you can stop bouncing between platforms and start focusing on your message.

Here’s what’s inside:

And here’s the best part.

You don’t need to bounce between tools or fight with file formats. Everything is connected. Everything just works.

You log in once and the whole system is there, ready to go. Start with one tool or try them all.

Either way, you're building inside a setup that’s made to keep your momentum going.

Because when your script has a clear goal, your tools should help you hit it.

When your video is built to move people, your platform shouldn’t get in the way.

​Voomly Cloud is built for both.

Writing a whiteboard animation script that works isn’t easy, but you did it. You figured out what matters, trimmed the extras, and gave your message a clear voice.

Now it’s just a matter of making sure people hear it, see it, and act on it. The truth is, a great script loses impact if you don’t have the setup to support it. You don’t want to send your video into the world without knowing what happens next.

Voomly Cloud gives you a real shot at doing this right. No patchwork of random apps, no awkward transitions. Just one place that’s built for creators who care about their message and what it leads to.

There’s a free trial if you want to test the waters. And if you go for the full version, you’ll get access to everything for just $49/month.
