How to start
Paste a finished script and explain.ink keeps your words, draws a scene for each line and records the narration. Nothing is rewritten behind your back.
Create your first video
Script mode is for people who already know what they want said. Your wording goes in and comes back as narration, in order, in your structure.
The script is split into scenes at its natural breaks. Each scene gets a drawing of that specific line, in the same style as every other scene, so the video holds together instead of looking like a set of unrelated illustrations.
Timing follows the narration rather than a fixed template, so a line that needs a beat gets one and a list does not crawl. Length follows the script instead of a slot you have to fill.
Give it the topic instead and let explain.ink write the first draft, see text to video.
Upload the doc nobody reads and get the same content as a short video.
Reports, manuals and exported decks, turned into a narrated drawn video.
Type a topic or paste a paragraph. It writes, draws and narrates the rest.
Every stroke drawn on screen, from your topic, script or document.
Pick the look the video is drawn in, from whiteboard marker to sumi-e ink.
No. Script mode keeps your sentences as written. If you want the story drafted for you instead, start from a topic with text to video.
At the natural breaks in the writing. Each scene gets a drawing of the specific line it illustrates, in the same style as every other scene, so the video holds together.
Roughly as long as it takes to read the script aloud. Narration runs at about 150 words a minute, so 450 words is around three minutes of video.
That is the main reason this mode exists. Approved copy goes in unchanged, which matters for compliance, training and client work.
Yes. Pick a different style and the same script is redrawn in it, so the words stay approved while the video gets a new look.
