Use case

AI explainer video maker

ASAP Motion makes explainer videos in a motion graphics style: animated type, simple shapes and clear transitions that carry an idea. Paste your script or describe the concept, generate the scenes, then edit the text, timing and colors before you export an MP4.

Explainer video in three steps

  1. Write the point and the script

    Give ASAP Motion the core idea and the lines you want on screen. Short sentences animate best.

  2. Generate the scenes

    The AI lays out the animation as editable scenes, with type, shapes and transitions timed to the script.

  3. Edit and export

    Rework any line, change the pacing, set your colors, and export an MP4 in the aspect ratio you need.

Example prompts you can copy

  • Example prompt

    Explain how our invoicing app saves time in three steps, using animated text and simple icons on a clean white background.

  • Example prompt

    A 30-second explainer on what a vector database is: a big question, a plain-English answer, one analogy and one takeaway.

  • Example prompt

    Walk through our onboarding flow in five numbered steps, each with a headline and one supporting line.

  • Example prompt

    Compare the old way and the new way in a split-screen motion graphic with a punchy closing line.

What makes an explainer work

  • Open with the problem

    Start with the situation your viewer is in, then show the way out. A question works well as the first card.

  • One idea per scene

    Each scene should carry one claim. If a scene needs two sentences, it is probably two scenes.

  • Keep lines short

    Aim for fewer than ten words per on-screen line so people can read at the pace of the motion.

  • End on one action

    Close with a single next step, such as a URL or a sign-up prompt.

Explainer video FAQ

Can I paste my own script?

Yes. Describe the idea or paste the lines you want on screen, and ASAP Motion builds the scenes around them. You can edit every line afterwards.

What is a motion graphics explainer?

A motion graphics explainer uses animated type, shapes and screen visuals instead of filmed footage. It is faster to produce than live action and easier to update when your product changes.

Can I add audio to an explainer?

Yes. You can add your own audio file to a project, up to 15 MB per file, and it is included in the exported MP4.

Can I update the explainer later?

Yes. Because the animation is an editable project, you can change a line, a number or a color and export again.
