We've added four new templates to VideoScribe and refreshed three existing ones with new Streamline illustrations. Here's a rundown of what's available, what each template is designed for, and how to make them your own.

If you missed the announcement, Streamline is one of the world's leading illustration libraries, and we've partnered with them to bring thousands of their images directly into VideoScribe. The library covers a huge range of styles, topics and characters, so whether your video is corporate, educational, creative or anything in between, there's something to fit. You'll find the full Streamline image library available to search and use alongside all your usual VideoScribe content.

All templates and Streamline images are available on Core and Max plans only.

Four Brand-New Templates

 

1. Problem to Results Explainer

Best for: Business presentations, project retrospectives, client pitches, case studies, team reviews

Built around a clean blue-and-white whiteboard animation style, this template walks your audience through a complete problem-to-results narrative in under 60 seconds.

The structure is simple and proven: you open with a title and context, establish the problem and why it matters, lay out your objectives (up to three), walk through the actions you took to address it, reveal the results, and close with your branding. Every section has a dedicated space for your content and matching illustrations that animate in as the video plays.

Use this template

Make it your own Start by editing the text to reflect your own objectives, actions and results. The illustrations are where you can really personalize this one — this template uses the Brooklyn style from the Streamline library, so search for the type of image you need and filter by Brooklyn to find more in the same look. If you want to go into more detail for your audience, add new camera elements and fill them with similar images and text to extend the story. A voiceover is worth adding for a more personal touch.

 

2. Our Story So Far

Best for: Brand storytelling, investor pitches, crowdfunding campaigns, company anniversary videos, recruitment

Every organization has a story. The challenge is telling it in a way that's honest, engaging and makes people want to be part of what comes next. This template gives you a framework to do exactly that, in a warm blush-pink and purple illustrated style that feels premium and modern.

The narrative arc is built-in and time-tested. You start by setting the scene: the problem that existed before you came along. Then you introduce the founding moment, the question someone asked that changed everything. From there, the template guides you through your first action or product, your early proof it was working (a customer, a number, a moment), the obstacle that tested you, how you got through it and what you learned, your current state, your future ambition, and finally an invitation to join you on the journey, complete with a logo placeholder for your close.

Dashed hexagonal image frames appear throughout, giving you natural places to drop in your logo, a key stat, a product shot or any other visual asset.

Make it your own The hexagonal image frames are the key customization opportunity here. Replace the placeholder prompts with your actual logo, a real customer number, a product image or a meaningful photo from your journey. The narrative prompts are deliberately broad, so take time to make the language sound like your brand voice rather than leaving it generic. If your story has more chapters than the template covers, you can add new camera elements and fill them with matching images and text, and try varying the position of those camera elements to lead the story in different directions. A voiceover makes a real difference on this one, since the personal tone of a spoken narrative fits the storytelling format well. If the blush-pink palette doesn't suit your brand, the background color can be adjusted to fit. This template uses the Bangalore style from the Streamline library — search for the type of image you need and filter by Bangalore to find more illustrations that match.

 

3. Step-by-Step Process

Best for: Tutorials, how-to guides, onboarding videos, training content, educational explainers

Some things just need to be shown one step at a time. This template is built for exactly that, with a bold, warm palette of dark brown, coral red and golden yellow and energetic illustrated characters surrounding each step as it builds.

It opens with a collage title slide, then zooms in to walk through each step sequentially inside clean rectangular frames connected by a flowing red line. Each step has room for a heading, a description, and a supporting illustration. Step 3 includes dedicated space to flag common mistakes or errors at that stage, a useful addition that makes tutorials genuinely more helpful. The template closes with a bold "The Result" finale slide surrounded by outcome-focused illustrations.

Make it your own Edit the text and images to suit each step of your specific process. This template uses the Manchester style from the Streamline library — search for the type of image you need and filter by Manchester to find more in the same look. If your process has more steps than the template covers, you can copy the orange path elements to extend it, then add new camera elements to show each additional step to your audience. The common mistakes section in Step 3 is easy to overlook but worth filling in thoughtfully, as it's often the most useful part of any tutorial. A voiceover adds a more personal touch and works especially well for tutorial-style content.

 

4. Big Announcement

Best for: Product launches, feature announcements, event reveals, sales campaigns, creator news

With a playful handwritten font, a fresh mint-green and pastel palette, and a structure designed to build anticipation, this template is a ready-made framework for sharing news in a way that actually gets people to act on it.

The video opens with the teaser line "Something's Changing", creating intrigue before the hand draws in your actual announcement. From there, you move through numbered reasons why this matters, a dedicated image frame for dropping in your product screenshot or brand asset, an audience-specific section that speaks directly to your viewer's role or situation, a slide for your key stat, quote, launch date or price point, and a clear call-to-action close with your URL.

Use this template

Make it your own Edit the text and images to suit each piece of information you're announcing. This template uses the Barcelona style from the Streamline library — search for the type of image you need and filter by Barcelona to find more in the same look. If you want to extend your announcement beyond the default slides, add new camera elements and fill them with similar images and text. Try varying the positions of those camera elements to lead the announcement in different directions. Make sure your CTA slide has a clear, single action (a link, a date, a code) rather than trying to do too much at the close. A voiceover adds a personal touch and works well with the handwritten style of this template.

 

Three Updated Templates

We've also refreshed three existing templates with new Streamline illustrations. The updated images give them a cleaner, more contemporary feel, and if you haven't used these templates in a while they're worth another look.

Mind Map — Updated with new Streamline images that modernize the look while keeping the flexible brainstorming structure intact. Edit the text and images to suit your own ideas or topic, then copy the mind map lines and shapes to expand the diagram as needed. Add camera elements to show each section to your audience. Uses the Tokyo style — search for the type of image you need and filter by Tokyo to find more. A voiceover works well with this format to guide your audience through the different branches.

On Track — The animated train timeline template now features updated illustrations at each of its six milestone stops, reinforcing the forward-momentum feel that makes this template so effective for communicating progress on a project or plan. Edit the text and images to suit your own milestones, then copy the train track lines and milestone elements to expand the timeline beyond the default six stops. Add camera elements to show each section to your audience. Uses the UX Duotone style — search for the type of image you need and filter by UX Duotone to find more. A voiceover helps guide viewers through each milestone in sequence.

Explainer Collage — The collage format has been expanded with new Streamline images, adding more variety to the visual mix. To make it your own: change the images and text in each section to tell your story from start to finish. The camera elements show each section of the collage to your audience — try moving them or adding more to focus on specific images. You can also rearrange elements into a different shape or direction for a more creative layout, and use a large camera element at the end to reveal the finished masterpiece in full. Uses the Brooklyn style — search for the type of image you need and filter by Brooklyn to find more. Remember to remove the tutorial text once you've finished editing.
