Explainer Video Maker: Turn One Paragraph Into a Finished Explainer
Choose the style that fits the job, then write the words.
An explainer video maker turns a written explanation into a short film that does the explaining for you. Before you pick a tool, pick a style: hand-drawn whiteboard, motion graphics, screen recording, live action or animated characters. The style should follow the job the video has to do. Get that right and a single clear paragraph is enough to produce something useful; get it wrong and even a beautiful film misses.

Match the style to the job
This is the decision most people skip. Each style is genuinely better at something, and worse at something else.
| The job | Best style | Why | When whiteboard is the wrong choice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales page above the fold | Whiteboard or motion graphics | Holds attention while an idea is built up piece by piece | If the product is visual and people need to see the real thing |
| Onboarding a new customer | Screen recording | People need to see the actual buttons they will click | Almost always the wrong choice here |
| Teaching a concept or lesson | Whiteboard | Drawing as you speak is how people remember structure | Rarely; this is its strongest use |
| Investor or new business pitch | Whiteboard or motion graphics | Turns an abstract model into something followable in 90 seconds | If credibility depends on seeing your team or premises |
| Product feature announcement | Screen recording or motion graphics | The feature itself is the proof | When the feature is invisible, whiteboard explains the why |

The paragraph that becomes the video
A good brief names the audience, the single point and the feeling. This one is a complete brief.
For busy restaurant owners. Explain why taking bookings through your own website beats relying only on listing sites: you keep the customer details, you avoid the cover charge, and you can bring people back yourself. Friendly, direct, no jargon. 60 seconds, ends by telling them to add a booking button to their homepage this week.
How it works, briefly
Four steps, four choices.
- Write or paste the paragraph.
- Read the script it produces and edit or regenerate it freely.
- Choose orientation, voice, length and logo.
- Create, then download or share about ten minutes later.
What it costs
Credits, not per-project quotes. 100 credits is a minute of finished video, so 50 for 30 seconds, 100 for a minute and 200 for two. New accounts get 100 credits free. Scripts and rewrites cost nothing, and a film that comes back shorter than ordered is billed on the seconds actually produced.

Common questions
- How long should an explainer video be?
- Sixty seconds suits most sales and social uses, around 150 spoken words. Use 30 seconds for a single sharp point and 120 for a layered idea.
- Is whiteboard always the right style?
- No. If people need to see your actual product screens, a screen recording explains better. Whiteboard wins when you are explaining an idea, a process or a reason.
- Can I write the script myself?
- Yes. Paste or upload it and it is used as written, with your chosen voice and length.
- Can I change a video after it is made?
- Yes. Adjust the script, length, voice, orientation, logo or images and remake it as a new video in your library.
