I currently have several SVG files that I had an artist create. When I put them in video scribe, the hand draws an outline of the graphic and text., and when the hand finishes drawing the full image pops in.  I would like the hand to draw the solid drawn in image.

Is there a way to do that?

Yes, there are several ways you or your artist could edit your SVGs or make them differently to make them work correctly in videoscribe:

see tip0 and tip1 in this long detailed thread: Making SVG Images Draw Well (2017 update)

shorter thread discussing the same problem: imported SVG line art not rendering correctly

Hope that helps,
Mike (videoscribe user)
