Explainer Videos Video Templates

About Explainer Videos video templates

Explainer video templates show how something works in fifteen seconds: a product, a process, a rule of thumb or a routine. Diagrams, timelines, charts and annotations sit on the footage or beside it, each step timed to its scene, so the explanation is finished before the viewer has to read a paragraph.

The designs turn an explanation into a picture. Layouts use the classic explainer devices — flow diagrams, numbered steps, timelines, questions and answers, charts, graphs, cross-sections and annotations drawn straight onto the footage — and animate them in the order of the argument: nodes and stages light up, markers travel along a path, bars and figures grow, and notes appear where the viewer should look. Styles range from clean and technical to hand-drawn, calm and editorial, for products, services, processes, rules of thumb and everyday routines. Widescreen suits YouTube, websites and presentations, square and portrait suit the feed, and vertical suits Reels, TikTok and Shorts.

In the Deus Video editor, replace the footage with your own product, screen recording or process, rename the steps, stages or questions, move the loops, arrows and notes onto your targets and set the figures — most of them are counters, so they animate to whatever number you enter. Keep one idea per scene, and let each annotation fade out before the next cut.
