The fastest way to explain anything.
An animated explainer video is a short, professionally produced video, typically 60 to 90 seconds, that uses custom animation, a clear voiceover, and purposeful sound design to explain a product, service, or idea in a way that audiences immediately understand and remember.
Every frame guides the viewer from confusion to clarity, and from clarity to action. The best explainer videos do not just explain. They sell. Brands use them on homepage heroes, product pages, investor decks, ad campaigns, and onboarding flows. Learn more about video marketing statistics from Wyzowl's annual research.
If your sales team spends the first 10 minutes of every call explaining what your product does, an animated explainer video solves that permanently. A 60-second video communicates what a 2,000-word landing page cannot: how your product feels to use, why it matters, and what life looks like after buying it.
Embedding an animated explainer video on your landing page is one of the highest-ROI marketing investments a brand can make. Video keeps visitors on the page longer, reduces bounce rate, and builds trust faster than any other medium. Brands consistently report higher form completions and lower cost per acquisition.
A professionally produced animated explainer video signals that your brand is serious. Prospects judge the quality of your product by the quality of the content they see first. A polished, custom-animated video tells them you invest in excellence and that you will bring that same standard to their experience as a customer.
The numbers behind animated video.
Explainer videos are not a nice-to-have. They are one of the most measurable ROI-positive marketing investments available to modern brands.
Why animation outperforms every other video format
Live-action video is constrained by what exists in the real world. Animation is constrained only by imagination. When your product is software, an abstract process, or a concept that cannot be filmed — animation is the only format that can bring it to life visually.
Animation also removes the limitations of live production: no shooting schedule, no location costs, no talent availability conflicts, and no footage that becomes outdated when your product updates. An animated explainer video can be updated, recut, and repurposed across platforms for years.
Most importantly, animation gives you complete creative control over every visual detail. Your brand colors, your characters, your world. Nothing is generic or stock. According to HubSpot's marketing research, video content generates 1,200% more shares than text and image content combined — and animated content consistently outperforms live-action for B2B brands with complex products.
What a great explainer video actually does for your business
Every type of explainer video we produce.
Not every product calls for the same visual style. We match the animation format to your brand, your audience, and your conversion goal. All styles below are included in our Standard and Pro plans.
2D Character Animation
Custom illustrated characters and environments, fluid movement, and a warm visual style that humanizes even the most technical product. 2D animation is the most versatile explainer format. It works for SaaS, healthcare, finance, education, and consumer apps alike. Our character animation style is completely original, built from scratch for each project.
Explore 2D AnimationMotion Graphics
Clean, kinetic typography, animated icons, and data visualizations that make abstract concepts immediately tangible. Motion graphics are the ideal format for financial products, analytics platforms, enterprise software, and any brand where clarity and professionalism are the primary visual signals. We design motion graphics that move with intention. Every transition communicates something.

What our clients say about their explainer videos.
We had tried two other animation studios before Magic Motion. Both delivered generic-looking videos that felt like they could have been made for any software company. Magic Motion actually studied our product before writing a single word. The video they produced explains our platform in 75 seconds better than our entire sales team had in three years. Our demo-to-close rate went up 34% in the first quarter after we added it to our homepage.
We were launching a new patient monitoring device and needed an explainer video that could work for both clinicians and hospital procurement teams — two very different audiences. Magic Motion nailed the balance. The video is medically credible without being dry, and visually engaging without being cartoonish. It has been the centerpiece of our trade show booth and our investor deck. They also delivered four days ahead of our deadline, which in my experience is unheard of in animation production.
I was skeptical about getting a quality animated explainer for view our pricing. Every other studio I contacted was quoting us $5,000 to $12,000. But after seeing the portfolio, I decided to try Magic Motion on a smaller project first. The quality was better than videos I have seen from studios charging four times as much. We ended up booking the Pro plan for our main product video and used it as the opening slide in our Series A pitch. Our lead investor specifically commented on how clear it made our value proposition.

An animated explainer video is a short, professionally produced video — typically 60 to 90 seconds — that uses custom animation, voiceover, and sound design to explain your product or service clearly and compellingly. If your product is complex, if your sales team spends time explaining what you do before they can sell, or if your homepage bounce rate is high, you need one. A well-produced explainer video solves all three of those problems simultaneously. It does the explaining so your team can focus on closing. It keeps visitors on your page longer. And it communicates your value proposition in the first 30 seconds before a reader decides to leave.
A complete animated explainer video from Magic Motion Studio starts at view our pricing for the Standard plan and $3,000 for the Pro plan. Both prices are all-inclusive — script, voiceover, animation, sound design, and delivery are all included at that price. There are no add-ons, no hidden fees, and no change orders unless you request scope changes after production has begun. The market range for a comparable quality explainer video from a mid-market studio typically runs from $3,000 to $15,000. We are able to offer competitive pricing because of our streamlined production process and 10+ years of operational efficiency. View our full pricing page for a complete breakdown of what each plan includes.
Magic Motion Studio delivers completed animated explainer videos in 3 to 4 weeks from project kickoff. The timeline is structured as follows: Week 1 covers the strategy call, script writing, and your written script approval. Weeks 1 to 2 cover storyboard production and your visual approval before animation begins. Weeks 2 to 4 cover full animation production, professional voiceover recording, sound design, and final delivery. Most of our competitors quote 6 to 12 weeks for the same process. We have invested heavily in our production workflow specifically to cut that timeline in half without compromising quality. We have never missed a client deadline.
Magic Motion Studio produces 2D character animation, motion graphics, anime-style animation, and corporate explainer videos. All four styles are available at the Standard (view our pricing) and Pro ($3,000) price points. 3D animation is available on a custom quote basis due to its separate rendering pipeline. Each style is built from scratch for your project — we do not use stock templates or pre-made assets from other projects. The visual language is entirely original and specific to your brand.
Yes. Full file ownership transfers to you upon final payment. You receive the completed animation in MP4 and MOV format at HD and 4K resolution. Pro plan clients also receive the complete source project files in the native animation software format. There are no licensing fees, no usage restrictions, no platform limitations, and no ongoing costs of any kind. You can use the video on your website, in paid advertising, on social media, in investor presentations, at trade shows, and anywhere else you choose — forever.
We write the script for you. Custom scriptwriting is included in both the Standard and Pro plans at no additional cost. Our creative team writes a conversion-focused script based on what we learn in your strategy session. We study your product, your audience, your competitors, and your goal for the video before writing a single word. If you already have a script you are happy with, we can work from it — but in our experience, scripts written by our team that go through our internal revision process outperform client-written scripts in conversion testing. You review and approve the script before any production begins, and you can request changes at that stage.
The Standard plan includes 2 revision rounds and the Pro plan includes 5 revision rounds. Each revision round applies to the current production stage — script, storyboard, or animation. We do not move forward from one stage to the next without your written approval. Additional revision rounds beyond your plan limit can be added at a flat rate per round. In practice, most of our projects are completed within the included revision rounds because our structured approval process at each milestone catches issues before they compound into larger changes later in production.
To start your project, we need a basic understanding of your product or service, your target audience, and your goal for the video. Everything else — the script, the visual concept, the voiceover direction, and the animation style — is developed collaboratively during your strategy session. You do not need to provide a script, a storyboard, or any creative assets before we begin. If you have existing brand assets such as a logo, color palette, or brand guidelines, we will incorporate them. If you do not, we will create a visual language from scratch. The best way to start is to fill out our project brief and book a free 30-minute strategy call.
Yes, and it is one of the highest-performing uses of an explainer video. The completed video is yours to use on any platform including YouTube, Meta, Google Display, LinkedIn, TikTok, and connected TV. Pro plan clients also receive 15-second and 30-second cutdowns that are pre-formatted for paid advertising platforms. These shorter versions follow the same visual language as the main video and are optimized for the first 5-second hook that determines whether a viewer skips your ad. If you plan to run paid video campaigns, we strongly recommend the Pro plan specifically for the cutdowns.
Yes. Series discounts are available for clients booking three or more videos at the same time. The discount structure depends on the total scope, animation style, and whether the videos share visual assets such as characters, environments, or design systems. If you are planning a multi-video campaign, an onboarding video series, or an investor content package, contact us with the details and we will provide a custom quote that reflects the bundled scope. Series projects also benefit from a unified visual language across all videos, which reduces production time and cost per video significantly.
