An explainer video maker for one clear script

Write what your product or service does, in plain words. vbe | video build engine turns it into a short narrated explainer with captions, on your computer.

A good explainer is one clear message, said simply, with a picture for each idea. vbe builds exactly that from a script: it plans the scenes, makes the pictures in one look, reads the words in the voice you choose and renders the video on your computer. You approve each paid step, so a short video stays cheap.

How it works

  1. Paste your script

    Start a new video and paste in what you have written. vbe checks it for anything that would waste a paid step later, then splits it into sections.

  2. See the cost and say yes

    vbe plans every scene and shows what the voice and the new pictures will cost. Nothing is spent until you say yes.

  3. Render on your computer

    vbe lines a caption up with every word and renders the finished video on your own computer. Rendering costs nothing in AI fees.

See every step.

Good for small teams

  • No agency, no shoot. One script becomes one video.
  • Your look. Keep one style, so every video you make matches your brand. In development: your logo and brand colours saved once.
  • Captions on every word, for viewers on mute.
  • Short and long. A one minute explainer or a longer walk-through from the same app.

Know the cost before you start

Writing the plan, making new pictures and a premium voice cost a little each time. Before every one of those steps, vbe shows the price and waits for your yes. A yes covers that step only, so nothing is spent by surprise. Captions and rendering run on your computer and cost nothing.

Your files, on your computer

vbe is an app for Mac and Windows. Your scripts, pictures and finished videos stay in your own folder on your computer, and nothing you make is used to train AI.

Questions

How long should an explainer be?

Usually one to two minutes: one problem, one answer, one next step. Write the script first; vbe plans the scenes from it.

Can I use it for my website and social media?

Yes. vbe makes a wide video file you can put on your website, YouTube or social media. Tall clips for Reels and Shorts are in development.

Do I need design skills?

No. vbe plans the scenes and makes the pictures in one look. You check each scene and change what you want before rendering.
