Explainer Video Production FAQs

What is an explainer video?

An explainer video can be a completely animated or a live action video that literally explains in detail how a product works/functions, details the benefits or offerings within a service, dissects a business model, or explores a brand’s mission. An explainer video is any video that explains a product, service, or business concept.

Are explainer videos effective?

Explainer videos have been proven to be extremely effective because they combine both audio and video components to dissect a concept in simple and understandable ways. Major brands have benefited from explainer videos by increasing sales, gaining investors, and more. In fact, studies have shown that providing both an audio and visual explanation of a concept can significantly increase understanding and retention. A professionally produced explainer video can most certainly help your brand boost sales, obtain more clients, gain investors, or increase donations.

Are automated explainer video creator services worth it?

While having an explainer video is certainly better than not having one at all, using an automated service to create your video is not as effective as getting one professionally produced specifically for your brand. These automated animator services for explainer videos use templated animations that thousands of others are already utilizing, which means your video won’t stand out among them. However, when you use a professional explainer video production company, you will gain access to a team of creatives who can help you with scripting, custom animations, editing, and who can find professional actors that fit your vision. If you’re looking to stand out in your industry, a custom, professionally produced explainer video is undoubtedly the way to go!

How Much Do Explainer Videos Cost?

Mixed Media or Advanced Explainers: $8,000–$15,000+

Ask about our budget packages and outsourcing options for larger projects or multi-video campaigns.

What’s the difference between animated video services and whiteboard animation?

Whiteboard animation mimics hand-drawn storytelling, while animated video services include 2D, 3D, and mixed media solutions.
