AI Explainer Video Generator
Show how something works with a narrated 3D short. Start with a topic or script, choose a character, and turn a physical process into scenes, motion, and a clear explanation.

Real 3D explainer videos made with Shortify
Watch the complete examples with sound to judge the narration, scene detail, and pace. These are outputs from our 3D explainer workflow.
Make the cause and effect visible
1. Name one mechanism
Describe what moves, what starts the process, and what changes. A focused question gives the video a clear job.
2. Choose your character
Use the built-in mascot or a ready custom character. New custom characters have a separate cost shown before creation.
3. Review the explanation
Watch the rendered result, check the narration and moving parts, then download the video. Review matters for a technical topic.
Example prompt
Explain how a water tower supplies a house. Show water stored above the house, the pipe leading down, and how that height creates pressure. Follow one path from the tank to the tap, using everyday language.
Claude animation and 3D how-it-works videos
Searches for “Claude animation” and “Claude video generation” often lead to code tutorials. In that workflow, an assistant helps write a scene, and animation and rendering tools turn it into moving images. Making a convincing explanation still takes a coherent script, accurate motion, and a review of the final result.
Shortify gives you a topic-to-video workflow without writing that code. You enter the idea or script in the 3D explainer tool and receive a rendered short with narration. Use the examples above to decide whether its stylized look fits your channel. This is Shortify's product, with its own scenes and constraints, rather than a promise to reproduce a particular creator's animation.
Choose an explainer format that fits the subject
A 3D explainer is useful when position, movement, and a sequence of physical steps help the viewer understand. A water tank, a valve, or a collection pipe gives the scene something concrete to show. These are simplified visual explanations, not engineering simulations.
If your starting point is a report or lesson, try PDF to video. For a quick narrated recap over gameplay, explore brainrot study videos. For original illustrated shorts, use prompt to video.
Frequently asked questions
Shortify is designed for short, stylized how-it-works explanations of physical objects and processes. The examples show the current look and level of detail. It is not a CAD simulator, an avatar presenter, or a screen-recording tool for software demos.
You can watch the examples for free. Creating a 3D explainer requires a paid Shortify plan and 10 credits per video. Optional custom characters have a separate credit cost shown in the tool.
Claude can help write animation code in workflows that use a renderer to produce video. A code example, an interactive preview, and a finished video file are different outputs. Shortify offers its own topic-to-3D-video workflow; you do not need to write code or have a Claude subscription to use it.
Yes. Paste a topic or a short script in the 3D explainer tool and explain the mechanism you want to show. Check the finished narration, labels, and motion for factual accuracy before publishing.
For a narrated document summary, use PDF to video. For software, use actual product footage when the viewer needs to see the interface. The 3D tool focuses on a short explanation of a physical process rather than reproducing an arbitrary interface or document layout.
