- Requires animation studio or freelance team

How to Create an AI Explainer Video
From concept to clarity in 5 steps
Write a Clear Script
The best explainer videos follow: Problem → Solution → How It Works → Benefits → Call to Action. Keep it under 90 seconds (150–200 words). Every line should correspond to a visual scene you'll generate.
Map Script Lines to Visual Scenes
For each script section, write one image prompt. The problem section might show a frustrated person at a cluttered desk. The solution section shows the product in action. The benefits section shows success outcomes.
Generate Scenes with Consistent Style
Pick one visual style (realistic lifestyle, clean studio/white background, colorful animation-style) and stick to it throughout. Consistency is crucial for explainer videos — each clip should feel like it belongs to the same visual world.
Sequence with Scene Builder
Use CutFly's Scene Builder to arrange your scenes in script order. Each scene should be 5–8 seconds to allow for voiceover/text to display. Aim for 10–15 total clips for a 90-second explainer.
Add Voiceover, Captions, and Music
Export your AI video, add your script as voiceover (record yourself, or use AI voiceover tools like ElevenLabs), add text captions for key points, and add upbeat background music. This final layer transforms AI footage into a professional explainer.

Pro Tips for Better AI Explainer Videos
Make your explainer videos convert and educate effectively
Maintain Visual Consistency
Choose one visual style and include a style reference in every prompt: 'modern office environment, natural light, authentic' or 'clean white studio, professional product photography'. This consistency makes your explainer feel professionally produced.
Show People, Not Just Concepts
Human faces and relatable situations drive emotional connection. Include people reacting, using products, or experiencing outcomes in your scenes. Audiences connect with people, not abstract animations.
Use Veo 3 Fast for Consistency Testing
Generate all your scenes first with Veo 3 Fast to check visual consistency cheaply. Once your visual style is consistent and approved, regenerate key scenes with full Veo 3 for maximum quality.
Keep Scenes Under 8 Seconds
Explainer videos need quick pacing to maintain attention. Each scene should support 1–2 sentences of narration. Generate focused, single-concept scenes rather than complex multi-action sequences.
Add Animated Callouts in Post
Export your AI scenes, then add text callouts, arrows, highlight circles, and diagrams in CapCut or DaVinci Resolve. These interactive elements explain what the visuals are showing and dramatically increase clarity.
