VideoScribe is my favorite tool for scribing. That said, its support of RTL languages can (and I’m quite sure, eventually will) be improved. So in recent years, I had to find workarounds for projects that included RTL text (Hebrew, and later Arabic too. )

I found a way to make Arabic scribe-able, too. My method is similar to the one shown in this sweet video released this week by Joe Clarke of Sparkol, the makers of VideoScribe.

The method works beautifully – but it requires some extra work with a vector drawing program such as Inkscape. An, it becomes a bit more time-consuming if you require the hand-and-pen movement to be perfect, frame by frame.  If you need Arabic (or Hebrew) text to be animated, check out my Fiverr gig, that i recently launched as a service to fellow animators.
