How do I create explainer videos with AI?
Short answer
Structure your explanation as a problem-solution-benefit narrative, generate matching visual scenes for each phase, and overlay clear narration with on-screen text.
Recommended mode: LabScenario: SaaS companies, consultants, and educators producing explainer content for websites, onboarding, and sales enablement.
Execution Steps
- 1Outline the explainer narrative: what problem exists, how the solution works, and what benefit the viewer gets.
- 2Write a visual scene description for each narrative phase with specific imagery and motion cues.
- 3Generate video segments for each phase and ensure visual consistency across scenes.
- 4Layer voiceover narration, annotated text callouts, and a closing CTA onto the assembled sequence.
Prompt Template
Create a 75-second explainer video in three acts: (1) show the user frustration with current process, (2) demonstrate the solution workflow visually, (3) reveal the measurable outcome with data visualization.
Common Failure Points
- Jumping straight into features without establishing the problem context first
- Using abstract visuals that do not clearly represent the concept being explained
- Making explainers longer than 90 seconds, which causes drop-off before the CTA
