Explainer videos narrated in teaching order

An explainer on Deepscene is narrated. The Narrator speaks as voiceover, and the cuts follow the order you would teach the idea in. On-screen words are allowed. You say what to explain and who it is for. The script is written for the runtime you set, with more of it spoken than in a story. A guide character is optional.

How to use it

1. Open Explainer.
2. Choose a look before the cuts are built. The choices are flat vector motion, whiteboard sketch, isometric diagram, and paper cutout. Only explainer looks are offered.
3. Or open Templates, pick one, and edit the blanks. The brief, runtime, and look come filled in. You can still change the brief before the script is written.
4. Set the runtime. A longer runtime gets a longer lesson, not a stretched one-minute script.
5. Generate the world you want, then the cuts. Automode can write the script, build the cast and the world, and write the cuts together. It stops before those cuts are filmed unless you ask for more and confirm the spend.

Writing the script does not spend image or video credits. Voice, when you use it, is 2 credits per started 1,000 characters on Standard, and 4 on Expressive. If you add your own ElevenLabs key, that voice is billed by ElevenLabs and not by Deepscene credits.

Where to use it

Use an explainer for a product lesson, an onboarding film, a classroom short, or a how-to that has to stay in teaching order. Use AI cartoons when the piece is a story in an animated look, not a lesson. Use Commercials when you need a pitch, not a syllabus. Use Text to video for one clip with no script.

What you pay

Starter is $15 a month for 150 credits. A standard still is 2 credits. Seedance 2.5 is 2 credits a second at 480p and 5 at 720p. Creator is $39 for 420 credits. Studio is $99 for 1,100. A two minute lesson costs more video credits than a twenty second one, because you pay for the seconds you render. Cancel any time. No setup fee. See pricing.

Questions

Can the narrator be a character on screen?

A guide character is optional. The Narrator is the voiceover. The cuts still follow the teaching order.

Are words allowed on screen?

Yes. Explainers can show words. Story films on the other desks keep printed words off props unless the reference already has a mark.
