Education & Explainers Video Templates
Communicate ideas clearly with templates for explainers, tutorials, lessons and presentations. Customize the structure, examples and visual elements to make educational or informational content easier to follow.
About Education & Explainers video templates
Education and explainer video templates help you show how something works or promote something worth learning: a step-by-step tutorial, a product how-to, a course or cohort launch, a lesson intro, a presentation, a listicle or a news update. The structure introduces the topic, breaks it into steps or sections the viewer can follow and ends with a summary, a next step or a call to action.
Explainer Videos currently holds two annotated tutorials that explain a process directly on the footage: a clean widescreen camera setup with cyan pointers and yellow highlights, and a hand-drawn vertical espresso how-to with sticky notes and orange marker loops. Courses & Lessons has a silent course promo with a copy panel and a checklist that ticks in row by row, built for LinkedIn and landing pages. Tutorials & How-to, Video Presentations, Listicles and News & Updates follow the same approach and will fill as new designs are published.
The annotation templates use the editor's own tools rather than pre-rendered graphics: text callouts, arrows, circles, rectangles, speech bubbles, checkmarks and crosses from the Elements panel, freehand marks from the Draw tool and emoji as secondary cues. Every annotation has its own start and end, so it appears exactly when the step needs it and fades out before the next cut. Moving a circle onto your own target is a drag, not a re-render.
Use 16:9 for lessons, webinars, presentations, YouTube, a help centre or a course platform. Vertical 9:16 suits quick tips, microlearning, Reels, TikTok and Shorts, while square and portrait layouts support educational feed posts. Keep text concise, use high contrast and give viewers enough time to read labels, steps and key facts; one instruction per callout is the rule that keeps tutorials readable.
In the Deus Video editor, replace the sample clips with your own screen or camera recording, rewrite the headings, callouts and checklist rows, adjust colours and add or remove annotations as your process requires. Prepare an outline before editing and keep one main idea per scene. Captions, visual emphasis and consistent terminology improve accessibility and make the information easier to remember.
