Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We’re here to help.
How can you make explainer videos?
An explainer video is exactly what it sounds like - a video intended to explain a topic or issue. Explainer videos are popular as they are a visual way of explaining certain topics and this format is often easier to digest, particularly if the tutorial is explaining a topic or skill that requires precise movements and visuals. Often it is easier to show than to tell.
Explainer videos can come in several different forms, from live-action explainer videos to animated explainer videos. The format you’ll use will depend on you and your topic, but all videos should start with a storyboard. This doesn’t have to be very detailed and in-depth but it should cover both the content and how it is shot throughout the length of the video. You should then develop a script, either for a voiceover or to be used as part of the live-action video. Once everything has been planned, the next step is to shoot the video.
What is the best explainer video maker?
Many video makers and video editing softwares are suitable for making explainer videos but some make it simpler than others. For example, PlayPlay includes a large variety of fully-customizable explainer video templates amongst a range of other pre-made templates for different types of videos. These templates act as a springboard to give you a headstart for making your explainer video.
How much is a 30 second explainer video?
There is no right answer to this question as it will depend on many factors. Your idea, plan and budget will have a huge impact here. For example, filming a simple one-person explainer video at home versus a video that requires coordinating a team of people at a purpose-built location will make a significant difference to the cost. Nevertheless, as a ballpark figure, a 30-second explainer video will typically cost around $1,500-$2,500 to produce.
However, it’s entirely possible to produce agency-quality videos on a much smaller budget by using a tool like PlayPlay. PlayPlay is a fully-featured video editor that offers all the tools you’ll need to produce agency-quality videos by yourself, without the need for paying a professional agency.

"Before PlayPlay, I was thinking, ‘Creating videos is not my job, I can’t do it’. And when I watched the platform demo, I thought ‘that, I can do’"
