How to make a whiteboard animation

Four steps, one marker.

One idea per scene, one drawing per idea. Then let the hand draw it.

  1. Write the script line by line

    One idea per scene. Each line of your script becomes one drawing, so keep every sentence short enough to sketch.

  2. Describe what the hand draws

    Name the objects, say where the arrows point and keep each label to a few words. The hand draws what you describe.

  3. Pick the board, marker and voice

    Choose classic black marker, colour doodle or chalk. Then pick an AI voice or bring your own voiceover.

  4. Generate, trim and export

    Keep the best take and trim it. Export 16:9 for class or your LMS, or 9:16 for social.

Whiteboard script example

Plan the prompt like a teacher plans a board.
