Before you make oneExplainer video questions
A short video that explains one thing: a product, a process, a lesson or an idea. A narrator talks the viewer through it while pictures show each point. Most run one to two minutes.
Plans start at $19 a month, and every plan includes Storybook. The $19 plan makes about 18 ten-second explainers a month at 360p, or 8 at 720p, each with script, animation, narration and music. Every plan exports without a watermark.
Long enough for one idea. For most products and lessons that is 60 to 90 seconds. Storybook makes anything from 10 seconds to 5 minutes, in 10-second steps, and each 10 seconds is one scene with one spoken line.
Yes. Doodle draws in marker on a whiteboard, Flat Editorial is flat 2D, and Isometric, Soft Clay and Diorama have depth. There are 15 styles in all, and one style holds for the whole video.
Paste it as the brief, up to 8,000 characters. Storybook still writes the narration itself, one line per scene, so it rewords your script to fit the length. A personal story keeps to the facts you give.
From the brief you give it. For a topic, Storybook searches the web before it writes and builds the script from what it found. For links, it covers what those pages say. For your own story, it keeps to the facts you wrote. Check the claims before you publish, as you would with any script.
No. Storybook draws every scene in its art style and leaves out readable text, logos and screens. To explain a product, paste its page link: the video covers what the page says, in pictures. For screen recordings, use a screen recorder.
Yes to both. Victoria narrates by default, and you can pick any other system voice or record a short sample of your own. Storybook narrates in 73 languages and writes the script in the language you pick.
Yes. Every paid plan includes commercial use for what you make, with no watermark. Use the videos on your site, in ads, in courses or on YouTube.
Yes, on a computer. Edit video opens it in Studio, Sceneform's video editor, where you can trim and cut it. Try again refills the composer with the same settings, so you can make a new version with another style or voice.
