Explain Complex Ideas in 60-90 Seconds

The best explainer videos follow a proven formula: hook your viewer, present the problem, introduce your solution, show it in action, and close with a clear call to action. Our free explainer video script template builds this structure into every script you write.

The two-column A/V format lets you plan visuals alongside your voiceover—essential when briefing animators or motion designers. See exactly how your on-screen graphics will sync with your narration, and track your runtime in real time to hit that optimal 60-90 second sweet spot.

Great explainer videos distill complex products into simple, memorable stories. A well-structured script ensures your message lands clearly—no jargon, no confusion, just a compelling narrative that drives action.

The A/V format makes stakeholder reviews painless. Executives can see exactly what viewers will experience without waiting for expensive animation drafts. When your script is approved, create an explainer video storyboard to visualise each scene, then share it with your animation team to bring your story to life.
