It is known by different names to different people. Some call it landing page video, others homepage video. But most people call it explainer video.
Whatever you want to call them, you may run into these words and wonder “what exactly is this?”
Long story short, an explainer video explains what your business does to anyone and it does it in a short amount of time. It takes the thing your business does, strips it back to the part that matters and then shows it in sixty to ninety seconds. Most are made with animation rather than film, because animation can show what a camera cannot reach: a process, a system, an idea with no physical form.
It is usually placed where a visitor has just arrived and has not yet decided if she or he wants to stay. Visitors understand your business or product in a minute or so.
Today, a considerable number of startups rely on prominent explainer videos on their homepage for a more efficient way to get their message across to consumers. A quick browse on the internet, and you’ll begin to notice that many companies do this. For a wider perspective, just look at how companies like Google and Facebook use explainer videos as an indispensable part of their entire marketing strategy.
Moreover, several businesses conduct A/B tests on these types of video on their homepage to see which one drives more engagement and conversions. The effectiveness of product videos in e-commerce and retail has been well-documented, and the same factors that help these videos sell products also seem to apply to the promotion of web services and apps.

A 90-second 2D or 2.5D explainer takes 4 to 6 weeks. A 3D explainer takes 6 to 12 weeks. Compressed timelines are possible and need additional team members working in parallel.
Based on research, 90 seconds to 2 minutes are the ideal lengths depending on the industry the explainer video is made for. If it is educational concept, longer durations work too. But if has commercial nature, you need to deliver the message in a short amount of time before the viewer loses interest and moves on to the next page or video.
There are tons of explainer video styles available and which style suits your business depends on your industry, budget and target audience. 2D and stock footage styles are suitable for lower budgets while live-action, 3D, collage and motion graphics are available for higher budgets. If your audience is a corporate crowd, you’d want to go for motion graphics or live-action. AI-made videos are recently added to the available options but we only recommend them if you have a tight deadline or lower than usual budget.
Similar to many other types of videos, the production process of an explainer video follows these steps: 1. Research & audio script writing 2. Style and mood development 3. Storyboard sketch and digital storyboards (if it’s animated) 4. Voice-over recording 5. Filming or animating stage 6. Post-production (color correction, syncing, visual effects, motion tracking etc) 7. Music and final touch-ups.
