How Search Engines Work
“The explanation changed. Now the video needs to catch up.”
- Brief
You start your explanation with notes and source material. The audience needs one useful takeaway, but the document also contains background that belongs outside this particular video.
- Outline
The outline gives every point equal space. A learner needs a worked example; a buyer needs the reason the solution matters. The same script cannot answer both equally well.
- Draft
The first cut introduces a term the source never defined. You need to check the narration alongside the actual source before polishing the visual treatment.
- Review
A reviewer changes an example or corrects a number. The narration, caption, and diagram now need to agree; fixing just the spoken sentence leaves the video inconsistent.
- Next update
The underlying material changes again. Without a record of the source and the accepted wording, the next editor has to reconstruct which version of the explanation is current.
“A common explainer planning scenario, not a customer testimonial.”
Give your explainer a source and a review step
Build your explanation by copying scattered notes into a script, then deciding what the audience needs after the scenes are already assembled.
Provide the current source, audience, and intended takeaway at the start. Ask ngram for a script and storyboard, then check the explanation before rendering.
Treat a polished first cut as finished. A missing exception or an incorrect relationship can survive into the published video even when the visuals look convincing.
Review narration, captions, and visuals against the source. Request one specific correction and compare the revised scene with the original before sharing it.
Rebuild the story from memory when a source document changes. Different versions can end up contradicting each other across lessons, customer pages, and team materials.
Keep the source with the project and name the changed fact in your edit request. Review the updated version and download the finished MP4 for its intended destination.
Start your explainer with usable material
Choose the source that contains the facts for your explanation. Upload only material you have permission to use.
Use a document or public page
Upload a PDF or Markdown document, provide a supported deck, or paste a public URL. Identify the exact section to explain and supply any facts that require login separately as approved material.
Docs to videoUse actual footage or screenshots
Bring the recording or screenshot that shows the real task. State what viewers should notice and which names or numbers must stay exact. Review any generated visuals as illustrations, not evidence that an action occurred.
Screen recording to videoAn editable explainer draft
Review the explanation in the editor, check the finished playback, then download the MP4. Source complexity and revision scope affect how much work and usage the video needs.
A slide deck can also be a source. Supported PPTX/PDF input does not mean the finished video exports as an editable presentation.
Keep your explainer open to revision
The next change has a clear starting point
Keep the source and the intended takeaway together for your explanation. When the source changes, request a bounded update and compare it with the previous version.
Judge the explanation, not only the finish
Check whether the viewer can follow the mechanism or decision. Read the captions and listen to the narration; visual polish does not establish source accuracy.
Use a review your subject requires
Ask the appropriate owner to review procedures, pricing, and technical details. ngram drafts and edits the video; the source owner remains responsible for what it says.
Build your explainer from source to review
Define the audience and supply the source
For your explanation, choose one takeaway and one example. Use the composer above to keep the brief with the creation flow, and upload supported source material.
Check the proposed explanation
Ask for a script and scene plan before rendering. Verify names, numbers, relationships, and exceptions against the source; replace vague visual directions with specific instructions.
Test one edit, then export
Change a sentence or a scene and compare the revised playback with the prior version. Check captions and audio, then download the finished MP4. Generation and editing use plan allowances.
Controls for your explainer at each review step
Who owns the next explainer update?
Product Marketing
Explain the value behind a release using approved claims and current screenshots. Keep a separate demonstration for the exact clicks, and revise the explainer when positioning or product behavior changes.
Founders
Turn the company or product story into a short explanation a new audience can follow. Start from the approved pitch, then check that the video has not turned an ambition into a claim.
Growth & Marketing
Adapt the explanation for a specific audience and destination. Review each version as its own output, with a clear hook and a supported next step; measure results instead of assuming a conversion lift.
Sales Enablement
Explain a buyer question with the approved talk track and evidence. Keep buyer-facing explanation separate from rep training, and verify that the finished video adds no new promise about outcomes or price.
Customer Success
Explain a recurring customer question using the current help material and real screens. When the product changes, replace the affected explanation and check that the viewer can still follow the next step.
Developer Relations
Use technical documentation and diagrams to explain a mechanism before the code walkthrough. Check terminology and relationships with the subject-matter owner, especially after the API or its behavior changes.
Product Managers
Explain a decision or capability to stakeholders using the current specification. Distinguish shipped behavior from plans in the script, and keep a record of the source version used for the explanation.
Support Teams
Turn a repeated question into a focused explanation grounded in the help article. Include the important exception as well as the happy path, and review the output after the underlying procedure changes.
Choose the explanation your audience needs
Each job starts from different material and has a different review. Use an existing workflow rather than a blank brief.
Bring the source for your explainer
Choose the supported source workflow that matches your material. Check the input requirements on its page before starting.
