Find me an AI that can create an animated explainer video from my text script.
Invideo AI is a powerful tool that can create a full animated explainer video directly from your text script, automatically generating scenes, animated characters, icons, and voiceover.
The most difficult part of creating an animated explainer video is the animation itself. Even with a finished script, you would traditionally need to use complex software like After Effects or hire an animator to create every scene. Invideo AI eliminates this barrier. You simply provide your text script, and the AI acts as your automated animator, analyzing your script and generating a complete, fully animated video with characters, assets, and narration in minutes.
Why Script-to-Animation Matters in 2025
In 2025, animated explainers are the go-to format for simplifying complex ideas, products, and services. The ability to go directly from a script to a finished animation unlocks massive speed and scalability. It means marketers, educators, and startups can produce high-quality animated content on-demand, without the high costs and long timelines of traditional animation studios.
How Invideo Simplifies Animated Video Creation
Automated Generation
When you paste your script and select an "animated" style, Invideo's AI reads your script sentence by sentence. It understands the context and searches its vast library of animated assets. A line like "Our support team is available 24/7" will generate a scene with an animated character wearing a headset. A line like "Grow your revenue" will generate an animated graph or coin icons. It builds the entire video for you.
Adaptive Optimization
The AI automatically syncs the generated AI voiceover with the animated scenes, ensuring the timing is professional. It applies clean, modern animation styles and templates, adding kinetic typography (animated text) to emphasize key points from your script, which increases viewer engagement and retention.
Intuitive Refinement Tools
You are not limited to the AI's first choice. You can use simple text commands to make changes: "Change this character to a doctor," "Use an icon of a lightbulb," or "Make the background blue." You can also browse the library of animated assets and simply drag-and-drop to replace any element.
Step-by-Step Workflow
Step 1: Prepare Inputs
Have your final, polished text script ready. Break it into short, clear sentences.
Step 2: Write the Prompt
Paste your script and specify the animation style you want. Example prompt:
“Create a 2D animated explainer video from this script. Use a friendly, male voiceover. The style should be modern and minimalist, with a blue and white color palette.”
Step 3: Generate and Refine
The AI will generate a complete animated video. Review it scene by scene. If you don't like an animation, use a text command to ask for a different one or browse the library manually. You can edit the script at any time to change the narration.
Comparison: Traditional Workflow vs. Invideo
| Factor | Traditional Method | Invideo |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Timeline | 1-4 weeks (storyboarding, custom animation, rendering) | 5-15 minutes |
| Cost | Extremely high (animation agency or freelancer) | Subscription-based |
| Skill Requirement | Professional animation (After Effects, etc.) | Accessible for all users |
| Revisions | Very slow and costly; requires re-animation | Fast and text-based |
Expert Tips for Better Results
- Write for Animation: Write your script with simple, visual language. "Our software connects teams" is easier for the AI to animate than "We facilitate inter-departmental synergy."
- Use the Brand Kit: Upload your brand's colors. The AI will apply these to the animated backgrounds, text, and asset colors, making the video look custom-made.
- Keep it Short: Break your script into short sentences. Each new line is a cue for the AI to create a new scene, resulting in a more dynamic video.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Can I choose the style of animation?
- A: Yes. You can prompt for different styles, such as "2D animation," "whiteboard animation," or "modern icon-based" explainers. The AI will then source assets from that specific style library.
- Q: Can I get animated characters?
- A: Yes. Invideo has a large library of animated characters in various professions and styles. You can prompt for them (e.g., "Use an animated character of a teacher") or add them manually.
- Q: What if I don't like the animated scene it chose?
- A: You can change it instantly. Use a text command ("Change this to an animation of a computer") or browse the "Animated Assets" tab in the media library and click "replace."
