What is a SaaS explainer video?

A SaaS explainer video is a short animated video that explains what a software product does, the problem it solves and who it is for. Opus55Vid makes it as motion graphics (moving type, shapes, charts and UI-style scenes) from one sentence.

It is a short-form explainer: 15, 30 or 60 seconds. For a launch announcement instead, see the product launch video guide.

Animated explainer video maker: how it works

An animated explainer video maker like Opus55Vid turns a short brief into a finished video without animation software.

Describe the problem, your product and the result in a sentence or two.
Pick one of six styles (Aurora Glass is made for SaaS, AI and apps), a length and a format.
Watch the preview, ask for changes in plain words, then download a 1080p MP4.

Explainer video voiceover and music: add your own

Videos include sound effects timed to the animation, but no voiceover and no background music. Many explainers use narration, so record or generate a voiceover, then lay it over the MP4 in any video editor. Because the video has no narration, ask for clear on-screen text in your prompt so the message also works on social feeds that play on mute.

Explainer video for startup: lengths, formats and cost

Short lengths suit startups: 15 seconds for a social hook, 30 for a feature explainer, 60 for the full problem-to-solution story. Long-form walkthroughs are not supported. Export 16:9 for your site and YouTube, or 9:16 and 1:1 for social. A 30-second video costs 180 credits, about $3.56 on the Starter plan ($9.9/month). Your first 15-second video is on us: new accounts get 100 welcome credits after confirming their email (valid 30 days). See all plans.
