When someone finds your app, they decide very quickly whether to try it. A short explainer video helps them understand it in one minute.

The simple 4-part formula

  1. The problem (10 seconds). Show a situation your customer knows well.
  2. The solution (20 seconds). Introduce your app and the one thing it does best.
  3. How it works (20 seconds). Three simple steps, shown on screen.
  4. The next step (10 seconds). "Download now", "Book a demo" or "Visit our website".

Tips that make it work

  • One message. Don't try to show every feature.
  • Friendly characters. People remember characters more than charts.
  • Clear text on screen. Many people watch without sound.
  • Your brand colours throughout, so the video feels like your app.

Real examples

We created animated explainers for two apps — Go Hype, which helps local businesses get discovered, and Cabinz, a workspace booking app. Watch them in the case study.
