How do you make an AI explainer video people watch to the end?

To make an AI explainer video, pick one idea, tell it as a short story with a presenter who stays the same, and film it clip by clip in Agent Social, with narration and sound included. It works for a how-to or a product idea, and a finished minute costs from $25, up to 1080p.

What is an AI explainer video, and what should it explain?

An AI explainer video is a short film that makes one idea easy to understand, and it should explain exactly one thing. In Agent Social, it is a narrated story rather than a slide deck: a character with a problem, a moment where the idea clicks, and an ending that shows it working. Pick the idea you can say in one sentence, such as how to descale a kettle or why a product saves time. If it needs two sentences, make two videos. The studio writes the scenes as chapters and you read them before anything is filmed. If you start from a how-to, the story-to-video workflow turns it into scenes, and how to make AI story videos covers the rest.

How do you turn a how-to into a short narrated story?

Turn the how-to into a person doing it, with a reason to care. Start with the problem the viewer has, put a character in it, and let each step of the how-to become a short scene where the character does it and sees the result. A narrator, or the character themselves, says one clear sentence per step. Keep the steps in the order the viewer will do them. In Agent Social, describe the whole thing in plain words, such as “a woman’s kettle is full of limescale; show her fixing it in three steps”, and the studio writes the chapters. Read each scene, change anything that is unclear, and cut any step the viewer could do without. Short explainers keep viewers, so aim for one to two minutes.

How do you keep the presenter the same in every scene?

You keep a presenter the same by making them once and letting every clip use the same pictures and the same voice. In Agent Social, describe the presenter in plain physical words, check their pictures from every side, and give them a voice from the Voice panel; you can even clone your own from a recording of 15 seconds or more. After that, you only say who is in the scene. The same character can then front an entire series of explainers. The method is the one that keeps the same voice in every scene, and it matters more in an explainer than in a story, because the presenter is the one thing the viewer sees every time.

What should the narration and the pictures do?

Narration says the point, and the pictures show the proof. Say one idea per sentence, in plain words, and never read out what the viewer can already see. In Agent Social, every clip comes back with its dialogue and the sound of the place in it, so a kitchen sounds like a kitchen. Music and subtitles are added when the clips are joined, and music dips under speech. Ask for subtitles on every explainer, because many people watch with the sound off. You can write the narration yourself or let the studio write it and read it first. Add a line on screen only where it helps, such as the name of the product at the end, and ask for the music quieter if it competes with the voice.

How long should an explainer be, and what does it cost?

One to two minutes is a good length: long enough for three steps, short enough to finish. In Agent Social, you pay per finished minute: from $25 a finished minute, up to 1080p. A one-minute explainer starts from $25, and a five-minute one from $125. Each clip runs 4 to 30 seconds, so a one-minute explainer is a handful of clips. Make every clip and every retake in the draft, then upscale the finished film once. A retake is billed like the first render, so read each scene before you film it. That makes the cost easy to know before you start, because the price follows the finished length.

Should an AI explainer be wide or tall?

Choose by where it will be watched: wide for YouTube and websites, tall for phones. In Agent Social, you pick the shape when you start and every clip keeps it, so decide before the first scene. A wide explainer reads like a short film and suits a longer how-to. A tall one suits a single tip you can say in thirty seconds, and it fits the feeds people scroll. If you want both, make the wide version first, because it is the fuller film, then make a separate tall version of the best step as its own short film. Whichever shape you pick, keep the presenter in the middle of the frame, and keep any words on screen short enough to read in a glance. Check the first clip in the shape you chose before you film the rest.
