Why it’s different

Designed, not generated.

Written for your topic, drawn in the style you choose, voiced in time, and yours to change after.

A script written for your topic

It reads what you give it, finds the facts and writes the narration in the story shape that fits. Every number on screen is quoted from its source; what can’t be quoted isn’t said.

A scene saying 99% of the data crossing the oceans goes by undersea cable
Quoted from Wikipedia, “Submarine communications cable”
“…carrying 99% of the data traffic across the oceans.”

You set the look

Three styles in thirteen themes, or your own colours and fonts. Switch a finished film to another look and every scene follows.

The theme picker in the Design panel

A voice in time with every word

Natural voices. Each scene lasts as long as its narration, everything on screen arrives on its word, and captions follow along.

The timeline: scenes, the voice-over's lines and the music

Change anything, after

Rewrite a line and only that line is recorded again. Move, resize or recolour anything in design mode, or ask for a scene to change in a sentence.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How is this different from an AI video generator?

A video generator paints footage from a prompt, priced by the second. Every take comes out differently, words on screen can come out garbled, and fixing one shot usually means generating it again. It doesn’t research a topic or write a script. SketchReel writes the explainer from your source, then designs every scene in the style you chose: the words are exact, the numbers are quoted and the voice lands on each word. You can change any part of it afterwards without starting over, and a minute of finished video costs from $0.83.

What can I make a video from?

A few words, a link, a document (PDF, Word, Markdown or plain text), a PowerPoint deck, or anything you paste in: a chapter, an article, your notes.

Where do the facts come from?

From what you give it. It finds the facts in your link or document and keeps the sentence each one came from, and every number on screen is quoted from one. Given only a few words, it explains in general terms and states no figure it can’t source.

Can I change a video after it’s made?

All of it: the narration and the words on screen, the order and kind of scenes, the style, theme, colours and fonts, and the layout of any frame in design mode. Or ask for a scene to change in a sentence. A line you rewrite is recorded again, the first 20 free.

Is there a free trial?

Planning is free: describe a video and see its plan (the story, length and style) before you buy anything. Minutes come in packs from $9, bought once. They never run out, and a video uses only its own length.

Which languages can it make videos in?

English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Indonesian, Russian, Hindi, Arabic, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. A film is written, voiced and captioned in one of them, and can be copied into another.

Who owns the videos?

You do. You keep what you give SketchReel and own the videos it makes for you, and they are never used to train AI models.

What should we explain?

Ask in a sentence. Seeing the plan is free.
