Script, record, and publish an explainer

A good explainer is a clear script plus a clean recording. Screen Charm handles the visual polish.

  1. 01

    Write a short script and read it from the teleprompter

    Keep the explainer to one idea: the problem, how it works, and the result. The built-in teleprompter keeps your narration tight while you record.

  2. 02

    Record the walkthrough, auto zoom does the camera work

    Screen Charm follows your clicks and cursor, zooming into the parts of the screen you are explaining. Add a webcam overlay if you want a face on camera.

  3. 03

    Add captions and music, then export

    Generate captions for silent autoplay, add background music, trim pauses, and export a 4K MP4 for your website, YouTube, or social channels.

Explainer video software FAQs

What is the best explainer video software for Mac?

For screen-based explainers, such as software, SaaS, and workflow videos, Screen Charm is a strong choice on Mac because it zooms on clicks automatically and adds captions, background music, and 4K export without an editor. For animated character explainers, tools like Vyond or Animaker are built for that style instead.

How long should an explainer video be?

Most product explainers work best at 60 to 120 seconds. Focus on one problem, one solution, and one call to action. Longer walkthroughs belong in a tutorial or demo video.

Can I make an explainer video without animation skills?

Yes. A screen explainer only needs a script and a recording. Screen Charm handles zoom, cursor smoothing, and motion blur automatically, so the video looks edited without keyframes or animation work.

Can I add captions and music to an explainer video?

Yes. Screen Charm generates captions from your narration and includes background music, so your explainer works with sound off on social feeds and autoplay embeds.
