How to turn a script into an animated explainer
- 1
Paste the script or the link
Paste your script or lesson, attach a PDF or text file, or paste a blog post URL and MotionVid reads the page.
- 2
Pick a look and a voice
Choose a style, the aspect ratio and a narration voice (74 languages). Or ask for no voice and add your own later.
- 3
Edit by typing, then export
Ask for changes scene by scene ("slower here", "label the arrows") and export an MP4 for YouTube, your course platform or slides.
Explainer and diagram templates
See allProcess steps, timelines and diagrams you can open and fill with your own content.
From blog post to video
Paste the post URL in the chat and MotionVid fetches the page, pulls out the headlines and key points, and plans the scenes from them. You keep the structure of the article, one idea per scene, and the narration script is written from your own copy, so you can tighten it before anything renders.
Explainer videos for teachers and online course creators
Lessons already exist as notes, slides text or a recorded script. Paste them in and you get a narrated lesson video with labelled diagrams, in the language your students speak. Build one video per lesson, reuse the same style across a course, and change a single scene later without redoing the rest.

Explainer video FAQ
How do I turn a script or blog post into an animated explainer video with AI?
Paste the script into MotionVid, or paste the blog post URL and it reads the page for you. It splits the text into scenes, animates a diagram or visual for each one, adds narration, and gives you an editable video. Change any scene by typing what you want, then export an MP4.
What is the best tool for teachers and online course creators to make animated explainer videos?
If your lesson already exists as text, use a tool that builds the scenes from it instead of an empty template editor. MotionVid takes your notes or script, draws labelled diagrams, narrates in 74 languages and keeps every scene editable, so updating one lesson does not mean redoing the video.
Is there simple software for making animated explainer videos?
Yes. MotionVid has no timeline to learn: you describe or paste what the video should say, and it builds the animation. Edits are plain sentences like "make the arrows blue" or "slow down scene 3".
Can it write the script for me?
Yes. Describe the topic and turn on narration and MotionVid writes a script you can edit before it renders, or paste your own.
How long can an explainer be?
Set a target length and the planner paces the scenes to fit, from short 15-second clips to multi-minute explainers.
