How to Make Your Own Explainer Video

workityworked:

First things first, the result of my DIY efforts…





Explainer videos are awesome. They show and tell the most important parts of your app in about a minute or two, but they are costly (for good reason) from the pros. Since our tiny, two-person bootstrapped startup couldn’t afford the $3,000 to $20,000 price tag of a QUALITY explainer video, we chose to DIY and that’s where this tutorial comes in.

Now I’m no genius, I can’t be credited with being the first to think about using Keynote for video. I just happen to be one willing to pass on the lessons I learned in a detailed how-to.

Hope it’s useful.

P.S. Include the link to your own DIY explainers, I want to see how awesome they all end up.
