How to make a corporate explainer video

Turn a short script into a clean, on-brand explainer video with Morphic, from opening frame to close.

What is a corporate explainer video?

A corporate explainer video is a short, clear video that walks an audience through what a company does or how a product works. Marketing teams, founders, and internal comms use them on landing pages, in sales decks, and in onboarding to explain an idea faster than a block of text can.

With Morphic you describe each scene, generate it in your browser, and shape a video that follows your script from open to close. You set the tone, pacing, and brand look in plain language, try variations, and download the result in HD.

1.

Write a tight script

Start with a short script that makes one clear point, broken into a few simple beats. A focused message keeps the video easy to follow and easy to produce.

2.

Describe each scene

In Morphic, describe the scene for each beat: the setting, the mood, and what should be on screen. Naming the look and pacing for each moment keeps the video aligned with your script.

3.

Set a consistent brand look

Ask for the same palette, tone, and style across every scene so the video feels like one piece. A consistent look from the opening frame to the close reinforces your brand.

4.

Match pacing to the message

Keep each scene long enough to land its point without dragging, so the video holds attention. Steady pacing helps the audience absorb the idea rather than rushing past it.

5.

Download in HD

Export the finished explainer in HD, ready for a landing page, a deck, or onboarding. The result keeps its detail and can be reused across channels.

FAQs

Do I need a script first?

A short script helps a lot. Start with one clear point broken into a few beats, then describe a scene for each beat so the video follows your message.

How do I keep every scene on brand?

Ask for the same palette, tone, and style across each scene. A consistent look from the opening frame to the close makes the video feel like one piece.

How long should an explainer be?

Short enough to hold attention while making its point, often under a couple of minutes. Keep each scene long enough to read but tight enough to move the story along.

Can I try different versions?

Yes. Describe variations of a scene or the pacing, generate a few, and compare them before you settle on the version that fits your message best.

Where can I use the finished video?

Anywhere you explain your product or company, such as a landing page, a sales deck, or onboarding. The result downloads in HD and can be reused across channels.

Can I use the video commercially?

Yes. Results download in HD without a watermark and are cleared for commercial use, so they are ready for campaigns, decks, and customer onboarding.
