Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best explainer video maker?

The best tool for creating explainer videos is Async. This browser-based platform offers a range of features designed to make video creation simple and effective, even for beginners. Async provides access to tools like voiceover recording, music libraries, sound effects, and easy-to-use editing options that help bring explainer videos to life. With Async's intuitive drag-and-drop interface, you can quickly add visuals, sync audio, and edit the content to create an engaging video that conveys your message clearly. The platform’s AI-powered features also allow you to enhance audio quality and generate captions, making Async a powerful all-in-one solution for creating professional explainer videos.

How do I create explainer videos for free?

To create explainer videos for free, you can start with Async's free plan, which offers basic editing tools to record, upload, trim, and organize your video content. With the free version, you can add and edit voiceovers, adjust audio levels, and include simple music or effects. However, for advanced features like AI-powered voiceovers, noise reduction, and additional recording and storage options, you’ll need a premium subscription. The free plan still allows you to create polished explainer videos, but upgrading to premium unlocks tools that enhance audio quality and provide more customization options.

Can you make animated explainer videos with Async?

Yes, you can use Async to work on animated explainer videos, but it’s important to note that Async doesn’t create animations from scratch. Instead, you can upload pre-made animated content and use Async’s editing tools to enhance it. Async allows you to add voiceovers to your animations, including realistic AI-generated voices if you need narration but don’t have a voice actor. You can also use its audio editing features to improve sound quality, add background music, and sync audio with your animation. This makes Async a valuable tool for refining and completing animated explainer videos.

How long should an explainer video be?

An explainer video should typically be between 60 and 90 seconds, but can be up to several minutes depending on the topic. This length is ideal for capturing and maintaining viewers' attention while delivering a concise and impactful message. For complex topics, explainer videos can extend to around two minutes, but it’s best to keep them as short as possible to avoid losing audience interest. The goal is to communicate the key points quickly and clearly, making the content easy to understand without overwhelming the viewer.

How does AI help make explainer videos?

AI assists in creating explainer videos by streamlining tasks that would otherwise require extensive manual effort. For example, AI-driven tools can automatically generate accurate transcriptions of audio, making it easier to edit the video based on dialogue. AI can also help improve audio quality by reducing background noise and balancing sound levels, which enhances overall video professionalism. Additionally, AI can suggest relevant visual assets, music, and sound effects based on the video’s topic, allowing creators to quickly find and incorporate fitting elements. By automating these steps, AI enables faster production and helps creators focus on crafting an engaging message for their audience.
