Explainer video prompts

For every PDF nobody reads: the document appears, its key lines light up, and it condenses into three cards a phone can actually show.

The all-hands meeting, replaced by an 8-second film: a header, three tagged updates — shipped, metric, next — and a closer that says the quiet part out loud.

Claude Motion is Team-only; this explainer format is not.

The explainer that explains the method behind every film on this site: a playhead sweeps a ruler from t=0 to t=8s while three step cards light up as it passes them.

A narration-ready faceless explainer skeleton: three headline cards with body lines, a diagram that draws itself card by card, and a closing line.

Vertical embedded captions the way short-form editors actually burn them in: one word lights at a time in a highlighted line, a progress bar tracks the sentence, then the punchline line takes over.

IMPORTANT, stated plainly: the prompt's beat grid is the full 30-second master.

Tested after the label fixes (iteration 2).

Runs verbatim — a vertical health app onboarding that keeps wellness-only claims.

Runs verbatim — three numbered steps on a progress line, the most reusable explainer pattern on this site.

Tested after the core-pill fix (iteration 2).

Runs as written — a first-run onboarding flow, one phone screen per numbered step.

Runs verbatim — a refund process explained with named stages and honest day labels.

Runs verbatim — a kids’ science explainer that teaches moon phases with a shadow disc.

Runs verbatim — a crypto wallet explained through an email-and-password analogy pair.

Tested after the line-count fix (iteration 2).

Runs verbatim — a timed recipe method: checklist first, clock second, payoff last.

Tested after the arrow fix (iteration 2).

Runs as written — a dense report condensed to stat cards, one chart and one link.

The whole trick is synchronisation: the path is built through the four node coordinates and drawn with a linear dashoffset tween, so each pop lands the exact frame the line arrives.

Marker timings are not hand-tuned: each pop time is the dot's linear travel duration multiplied by the marker's fraction along the line, so adding or moving an event keeps the sync exact.
