Step by step

How to make an animated explainer video.

  1. 01

    Write the script

    One problem, one solution, one action. About 120 words fills 45 seconds, so cut anything that does not serve those three beats.

  2. Macro close-up, camera glides slowly along a fan of flat paint colour swatches in teal, mustard, coral and sage on a pale desk, shallow depth of field, the texture in sharp focus, a pencil blurred beh

    02

    Storyboard it

    Describe each scene in the prompt, one line per beat. Frameo plans the shots and keeps the characters the same across them.

  3. Starting on a pinned corkboard of storyboard frames with pencil sketches, the camera slowly pulls back to reveal the bright studio around it: a desk, a monitor and a tall window with a curtain stirrin

    03

    Add the voiceover

    Pick a narrator voice and a pace that fits the words. Music sits underneath so the script stays clear.

  4. Studio desk by a window in soft daylight, muted colours.

    04

    Animate and export

    Choose the style and ratio: 16:9 for a site, 9:16 for reels. Then render and share. The storyboard sheet below shows one in full.
