Make AI explainer videos

An AI explainer video is a short narrated video (typically 60 to 90 seconds) that explains a concept, product, or idea with an AI voiceover over real footage or AI-generated scenes and synced captions. MakeAIVideo builds the whole thing from your topic or your pasted script, with no filming, recording, or scene-stitching.

Drop in a topic or paste a script, pick a length and aspect ratio, and MakeAIVideo runs the full pipeline: script (if you didn't bring one), AI voiceover, a scene per beat, and word-by-word captions timed to the audio, rendered as a finished 1080p MP4, with background music if you add it. Most explainers are ready in a few minutes.

The Explainer tool makes 30, 45, 60 or 90 second videos, and 60 to 90 seconds is the sweet spot where short-form explainers retain best. For something longer, Script to Video and Prompt to Video go up to 10 minutes, or 40 minutes for real-footage videos on the Plus and Pro monthly plans, but most explainers land their idea most cleanly inside 90 seconds.

9:16 portrait for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok; 16:9 landscape for YouTube and landing-page embeds; 1:1 square for in-feed posts on Instagram and Facebook. Scenes and captions are framed for the ratio you choose, so pick it before generating.

No. Every export is a watermark-free 1080p MP4, yours to embed on a landing page, post to social, or send to a client. Watermark removal is never an extra charge.

Most explainers are ready in a few minutes end to end. Longer videos, AI-generated scenes, and regenerated scenes add to that, but a typical short explainer is ready while you make a coffee.

Yes. Videos you generate are yours to use commercially: landing pages, product pages, ads, client deliverables, monetised YouTube channels. Real-footage scenes use stock clips licensed for commercial use, and AI scenes are generated fresh for your video. See the full terms.

Yes. Open the finished video in the built-in editor to regenerate a scene that missed, swap the voice, restyle the captions, fix a word in the transcript, or add a music track. A regenerated scene costs about 50 credits on its own, and the editor shows the cost before you confirm.

Not unless you want to. Type one line about the topic and the pipeline drafts a hook-body-close script for you. If you already have the exact wording, Script to video keeps your script verbatim and narrates it word for word.

Most AI video tools generate a 5 to 10 second clip and stop, leaving you to write the script, record the voice, and stitch the clips together yourself. MakeAIVideo runs the entire explainer pipeline: script, voiceover, multiple scenes, captions, optional music, finished MP4. You get a 60 to 90 second explainer you can post, not a raw clip you still need to edit.

Plans start at $9 a month, and every plan starts with a 7-day free trial that includes 350 credits. An explainer uses credits per second of finished video, all in: script, voiceover, scenes, captions and export. A 30-second explainer over stock footage is about 112 credits, and a 30-second explainer with AI scenes and voiceover about 612. The app shows the exact credit cost before anything is made. Run out?

Yes, for lessons that teach structured information: a concept, a framework, a definition, a process. Type the concept into the Explainer tool for a 30 to 90 second lesson, or paste the lesson script into Script to Video to keep your exact words for up to 10 minutes. Download SRT or VTT caption files alongside the MP4 for your course platform. Lessons that sell on your personality are better recorded yourself.

No. MakeAIVideo builds scenes from stock footage or AI-generated video, not from your screen, so a click-by-click software walkthrough still belongs in a screen recorder. Use an explainer for the concept around it: what the feature is for and when to use it.

It makes one kind of demo: the scripted, narrated demo video for a pricing page, an outbound email, an ad or an onboarding flow. It does not build interactive click-through tours of your product or record personal rep videos. The Product demo tool turns a description and product photos, which guide the visuals, into a narrated video.

Yes, and that is the main reason to make it this way. Change the headline line or a feature in the script and generate again from your credits, with no agency revision cycle. The app shows the cost before you generate.

If your UI is stable and polished, real screens add credibility, so record them and cut them in with an editor. MakeAIVideo shows the idea with stock footage or AI scenes instead of your interface, which is safer while the UI is still changing.

Making the video with AI is not what triggers the FTC's rules; endorsements are. If the explainer includes a customer testimonial or a student result, the FTC's Endorsement Guides apply however the video was made: a results claim is usually read as typical, so hold proof or state the generally expected result plainly.

Nothing is lost. Your account and finished videos stay exactly as they are, and your plan's credits reset on your next billing date. Run out? Add credits any time, from $5.
