Insert a Video into a Doodle
Doodly supports several methods of including a movie in your doodle. This documentation provides those methods with pros and cons of each method.
GIF Animation
Converting a video to a GIF animation will provide native Doodly support for importing the video into Doodly.
Pros: Doodly has native support. No editing involved. Basic skill levels required.

Proper Planning
Similar to a green screen but a lesser skill level is required. Leave a spot in the doodle for the video to be inserted and enough delay or end of scene time for the video to run properly. Import the exported .mp4 file into a video editing software program and insert the video.
Pros: Easy, supports millions of colors, supports audio, intermediate skill level
Cons: Needs proper timing and lengthy setup in Doodly.
