AI explainer videos that show how things work

Turn notes, an article, a paper or a topic into an explainer where the thing itself moves: a mechanism, a process, an idea, a period of history, a proof. For YouTube, a course or a class.

Explainer Video

Finds the shape of an idea and makes the thing itself move.

Built-in styles: Mechanism · System Map · Flat World · Papercut · Collage · Whiteboard

Pick a skill

Each card plays a film the skill made. A full-film skill makes a whole film of its type; a single look does one job in one fixed look.

Try it free first

Describe it in a sentence: your agent makes a 10–20 second film with its own music. When you want the full film, the full-film skill here picks up the same project.

From your notes, article or paper to a film

  1. 01

    Give it the source

    Notes, an article, a paper or just a topic. Every line it may show goes into a sources file with where it came from.

  2. 02

    Find the one thing to show moving

    A mechanism, a process, a proof. It proposes directions as real key frames; you choose one.

  3. 03

    Build, narrate and score

    Narrated by default, with an original score. 30–90 seconds, 45–60 by default.

  4. 04

    Checked against the source

    Every line on screen is checked against its source before the MP4 is rendered.

Every full-film skill follows the same standard: directions first, an original score, checks before it renders, and nothing on screen that your material or a named source doesn't say. Read the standard →

No Team plan? Make Claude Motion-style videos anyway

On one map: Claude Motion is in beta on Team and Enterprise, but Claude Code is on Pro and Max, and with a motion skill it renders the same kind of video on your computer.

Example of Explainer Video16:9 · 38 s

From Anthropic's Claude Motion help article and this site's guide; narration is a synthetic voice.

Why we have seasons

Not distance: the orbit drawn to its real shape, then the tilt and the same sunlight spread over 2.1× the ground in December.

How compound interest grows money

$1,000 at 5% for 30 years, year by year: what you put in, simple interest, and interest on interest.

A worked example, not financial advice.

How your browser finds a website's address

DNS on one map: the resolver asks a root server, then the .com servers, then the site's own server, and keeps the answer for its time to live.

Example of Explainer Video16:9 · 81 s

From RFC 1034, RFC 1035 and IANA's root server list; the site and its address are made-up samples.

How many Earths fit inside the Sun?

From a person pointing at the sky out to the whole Sun: 109 Earths across, about 1.3 million by volume, and why fewer whole round Earths would fit.

Example of Explainer Video9:16 · 57 s

From NASA's Sun and Earth fact sheets (archived copies).

Percent vs percentage points

A one-minute lesson: subtract for points, divide for percent, a quiz with a countdown, the common mistake corrected.

Examples are the lesson's own.

Questions

How do I turn an article into an explainer video with AI?

Give your coding agent the article and install an explainer video skill. It picks the one mechanism to show, storyboards the scenes, animates them with narration or music, checks the frames and renders an MP4, using only facts from your source.

Will it change my facts?

It shouldn't, and it checks. Every number, quote, name and claim on screen comes from your material or from a source the film names; when something can't be sourced, the agent tells you instead of inventing it. Before rendering, mo audit checks every line on screen against the film's sources.

Can it make a YouTube explainer?

Yes. Give it an article, notes or a topic. It finds the shape of the message and shows the thing itself moving, not a row of text cards. Add your own voiceover or a system voice.

Can it explain a paper or a study?

Yes. Every claim and number goes into a sources table with the paper it came from, and the film cites it on screen.

Can it make a lesson with steps?

Yes. The Lesson Video skill reveals one step at a time, holds long enough to read, and checks the viewer kept up with short quizzes.

Can it work through a math problem?

Yes. The Math Explainer skill derives a result on screen one step at a time, or works a problem: it tries first, then shows the trick, computes every length and ends on the check.
