Hire the best explainer video creators

An Explainer Video Creator is a 2D animator and storyteller who produces short, engaging videos designed to explain a complex product, service, or software (SaaS) to potential customers. Responsibilities include:

• Writing a script that identifies a problem and introduces the product as the solution.
• Designing simple, vector-based characters and infographics.
• Animating the assets and syncing them to a professional voiceover.

Creators use vector animation and rapid-rigging software. Key tools include:

• Adobe After Effects (For custom, high-end motion graphics).
• Vyond or Doodly (For rapid, template-based character animation).
• Adobe Illustrator (For creating the vector assets).
• Scriptwriting (The 60-second pitch).

While a UI Prototype Designer creates a clickable, fake version of software for internal testing, an Explainer Video Creator creates an animated, narrated video of the software for public marketing.
