An explainer video is typically a short video that simplifies complex ideas using animation. It could be a video explaining a business, a product or a service. It could even explain an abstract idea. There are seemingly endless uses for an explainer video, and studies have shown that using video is more effective than traditional methods, like static text or images.
How long is a typical animated explainer video? Well, our recommendation is to keep it under 2 minutes. While some will say the shorter the better, that's not always the case. Whether it's 60 seconds, 90 seconds, or something in between, the video should be as long, or short, as needed given the content you're looking to cover.
