20 Great Examples of 30 Second Explainer Videos

Sometimes the strongest image is a sentence moving with intent.

Where this fits

Sometimes the strongest image is a sentence moving with intent. This guide skips the theory and keeps what has worked across hundreds of shipped campaigns.

The essentials

  • Give every word a job: emphasize, reveal, or transition — never all three
  • Type needs rest: hold key phrases a beat longer than feels comfortable
  • Motion follows reading order; accents land on stressed syllables
  • Limit to two typefaces and three motions per film
  • Pair type with sound design — sync is half the perceived quality

The proof point

The bottom line
