Explainer video FAQ

What is an explainer video?

An explainer video answers one question a buyer has about a product: what it is, how it works or why it beats what they use now. Visa's explainer opens on "What is Visa Direct?" and spends 2:22 answering it with a map, a store screen and footnoted figures.

Which question should my explainer video answer?

Answer the question that stops the deal at your current stage. New categories need a what-is explainer. Buyers who know the category ask how it works. Buyers with a tool in place ask why switch. If 2 questions matter, make 2 short explainers rather than one long one.

How long should an explainer video be?

Long enough to answer one question and no longer. HR Acuity's why-now explainer runs 1:12. Jeeves answers how it works in 1:40. Legrand needs 1:58 because installers check 3 claims on the hardware. Cut any scene that does not move the viewer toward the answer.

Should an explainer be 2D, UI animation or 3D?

Match the format to where the answer sits. Use UI animation when the answer is a task on screen, as in the Jeeves explainer. Use 3D when it sits inside hardware, as with Legrand's connector. Use 2D illustration when the answer is a flow of money, people or data.

How much does explainer video production cost?

Advids prices explainer video production per 60 seconds, with the fee fixed in the proposal. A clean 2D explainer starts in the Clean Design tier at $1,000 to $1,500. UI and character work sits between $1,500 and $3,000. Detailed 3D explainers sit in the Advanced Animation tier, $3,000 to $4,500.

What makes an explainer video convince a buyer?

Proof the buyer can check on screen. Legrand turns "fast" into "1 min 10 per termination". Visa sets a footnote beside each speed and reach figure. HR Acuity shows lawsuit headlines before the product appears. A claim with no picture or number behind it is one a competitor can copy.
