Explainer workflow

AI Explainer Videos

Animated explainers that make a concept click — how-it-works, "what is X", step-by-step processes, and comparisons — narrated across clean, paced scenes.

Create an explainer

Inputs

  • The concept or process to explain
  • Key steps or points (or let the AI structure them)
  • Optional diagrams, screenshots, or a document to pull from
  • Narration on/off

Outputs

  • Narrated multi-scene explainer (16:9)
  • 9:16 vertical cut for social
  • Step-by-step process animation
  • Two-side comparison breakdown

Success metrics

  • Completion / watch-through rate
  • Support-ticket deflection (for how-it-works)
  • Comprehension — fewer "how does this work" follow-ups
  • Embeds on docs, landing pages, and onboarding

Storyboard

A motion sequence that matches the job

  1. 1Hook — Open with the question or problem the viewer has.
  2. 2Setup — Frame the concept in one plain sentence.
  3. 3Walkthrough — Step-by-step diagram animation, paced to the narration.
  4. 4Recap — A one-line summary that locks it in.

Copy-paste prompt

A narrated explainer on how solar panels work, across a few scenes: an intro hook, a step-by-step diagram of the process, and a simple recap — clean and on-brand.

Quality checks

  • One idea per scene — no cramming
  • Narration leads, animation follows
  • Diagrams are simple enough to read once
  • The recap restates the single takeaway

Where this workflow wins

Onboarding, courses, docs, and "how does this work" pages — where a clear narrated explainer beats a wall of text and a designer would take days.

Frequently asked questions

Can it write the script for me?

Yes. Describe the concept and turn on narration — the AI structures the scenes and writes a script you can edit, or paste your own.

Can I base it on a document?

Yes — attach a PDF or doc and the AI pulls the key points into a scene structure.

How long can it be?

Multi-scene explainers can run from ~15 seconds to a few minutes — set a target length and the planner paces the scenes to fit.
