Easily create professional explainer videos to illustrate the value of your products and services—without any video editing experience. Take advantage of video templates, AI voice overs, animated subtitles, royalty-free stock media, a built-in script writing assistant, and more to explain your offering to customers.
In a new Descript project, paste in or write out your explainer video script and then click the Record icon to record your camera, microphone, and/or screen. You can also drag and drop your own media assets to upload them, like your logo, product demo, or customer interviews. Descript’s powerful AI automatically generates a transcript that you can use to edit your video.
You can remove filler words and shorten long pauses in your video explanation by right-clicking the transcript and selecting Remove filler words. You can even cut portions of your video by deleting unwanted text from the transcript. This way, you can cut your footage to the best parts in minutes. You can even clone your voice with AI and use Overdub to fix mistakes in your recorded speech without rerecording. Creating and adjusting scenes is as simple as adding a ‘/’ anywhere in your transcript or re-arranging your scenes by dragging the thumbnails.
Finally, you can make your marketing video more interesting by adding transitions between scenes or stock videos and music by clicking the Media icon to access Descript’s built-in stock library. Hit Publish when you’re set, and export your explainer video to your computer, share it through social media, or get a shareable URL you can send to others.

The best explainer video maker apps help you write your explainer video script, as well as record and edit it in the same place. This makes it possible for a single person to plan and produce their explainer video without video editing experience by using their script to plan out a storyboard to create their video around.
A great explainer video is concise, ideally under 2 minutes, in order to maintain the viewer's attention. It concentrates on solving a problem or answering a question. The video should feature crystal clear audio quality, professional scriptwriting, and engaging visuals or animations to sustain interest. Most importantly, it should directly address the target audience and provide a clear call-to-action prompting the viewer to learn more or make a purchase.
