How do I create my own explainer video?

VEED lets you make your own explainer video in several ways, and you can be as creative as you want. We have a full suite of video editing tools, including AI tools, that will let you craft your best explainer video content at a fraction of the time and effort you’d spend on other video editing apps. Add text and images and animate them to clarify your points; add animated stickers, annotations, drawings, and more!

What is the best explainer video maker app?

While there are plenty of video editors out there that let you create DIY explainer videos, VEED stands out because of its intuitive interface, complete set of editing tools, and competitive pricing for its premium features. Plus, VEED offers the most accurate auto-subtitle feature, which is not something you’ll find in many free video editing apps.

Can I record my explainer video on VEED?

Yes! VEED includes a built-in webcam and screen recorder—perfect for creating animated video explainers, talking head videos, and other business video content. It’s free to use and you can use our nifty magic cut tool to let our AI magically edit your recording to perfection.

What are the different types of explainer videos?

Some explainer videos use animation. You can film an animated video and edit it on VEED or select one from our stock video library. Others include a screen recording, which you can also do on VEED! These are just some examples.

How long should an explainer video be?

Ideally, your explainer video should only be about 1 to 2 minutes. This will ensure that you don’t lose your viewers’ attention. However, if you really need to create a longer video, it’s best to add elements like transitions, sound effects, and background music, all of which, are free to use on VEED!

Are explainer videos effective?

The effectiveness of your explainer video will highly depend on how you present it. Make sure to combine high-quality audio and visual elements to keep the attention of your viewers.

Add transitions to convey shifts in ideas

Help your viewers understand shifts in ideas and points clearly by adding visual transitions in between. That means you can split your videos into parts and smoothly transition from one clip to another. You can choose from several transition effects, like Cross Blur, Cross Warp, and Dissolve. This strategy also works not just for making your own explainer videos but also for video marketing.

Create accessible content with captions and translations

Text and captions are key elements in informative videos. This is especially helpful to your viewers, who like to read along as they watch. Some people also learn better by reading. VEED can automatically generate subtitles for you, and you can translate them into multiple languages for better accessibility.
