Before diving into what’s new, let’s quickly cover the idea of the Explainer Engine.

How the Explainer Engine works

It all begins with your topic. What do you want to explain? Is it a change process, your company values, or how your product works?

But it doesn’t just match words with pictures; it thinks logically. It has an innate sense of timing, knowing exactly when to position each visual element and where it should go on the screen. It automates your layout, making sure everything is organized and visually connected.
This, combined with the perfect background music, text-to-speech technology, and sound effects, creates a seamless and engaging video. Everything works together to highlight your main points and connect with your audience on an emotional level.
The outcome? You get a top-notch video that resonates with your audience, effectively emphasizing your main points. It’s all about taking the burden off your shoulders. The Explainer Engine streamlines automated video production, freeing up your time and energy.

Why the new Explainer Engine is even smarter

Now, you might be thinking, “The Explainer Engine is already pretty smart, what can you do to improve it?” As we mentioned at the beginning, the latest version can create videos the way an experienced and creative explainer video professional would. Creating videos that resonate isn’t just about throwing information together. It includes thinking strategically about your audience, keeping things simple but impactful, and picking visuals that make people understand the topic.
Let us explain the new features using an example scenario: Imagine a company, “EcoTech Innovations,” that prides itself on sustainability, innovation, and community. They want to create an engaging onboarding video for new hires that informs and inspires them to embrace these values.
Intuitive scene design

The video flows logically, making even complex information easy to digest. Automatic adjustment of scene lengths and transitions improves narrative flow and keeps viewers engaged.
Precise keyword selection
The Explainer Engine now selects the keywords that form the core of your message with even greater accuracy. Depending on the scene’s complexity, it finds the ideal and balanced number of keywords.
For EcoTech’s value of innovation, the Explainer Engine would select keywords like “cutting-edge,” “research,” and “development.” These keywords would be highlighted in the scenes to draw attention to the company’s forward-thinking approach.
The Explainer Engine does the work for you, although you still have the option to customize the number of keywords. This precise selection ensures that the key messages are clearly highlighted and the message is effectively conveyed.
Images that support your story
The Explainer Engine now uses advanced multi-dimensional search techniques to select images that perfectly support your story.
To represent the value of community, the Explainer Engine would use its advanced search techniques to find images and animations of diverse teams collaborating, community events, and local impact.
