The best explainer videos follow a simple structure: Problem (10 sec) → Agitate (10 sec) → Solution (20 sec) → How it works (30 sec) → CTA (10 sec). Do not skip the problem: the viewer needs to feel the pain before they care about your solution.

Prompt Variants by Model
Act as a video production strategist. Build a complete explainer video storyboard.
Brief: [NAME] — [WHAT YOU DO] · purpose [PRODUCT DEMO/SERVICE OVERVIEW/INVESTOR PITCH] · viewer [WHO AND WHAT THEY CARE ABOUT] · key message [ONE THING TO REMEMBER] · length [60/90/120 SECONDS] · style [LIVE ACTION/ANIMATED/SCREEN RECORDING/MIXED] · tone [PROFESSIONAL/CASUAL/ENERGETIC]
Follow the arc Problem → Agitation → Solution → How it works → CTA. Per scene: scene number + timestamp; voiceover script with timing; visual description (composition, motion, transitions); on-screen text (≤6 words); animation notes; music/sound direction.
Close with production notes: total voiceover word count, aspect ratio, music mood keywords, 3-color palette.
Success means the voiceover word count fits the runtime at a natural pace (about 150 words/minute), and the key message is stated verbatim in at least one scene.
Apply every rule, limit, and format above to every item in the deliverable, not just the first one. Deliver the complete result in one response — every section filled in, nothing deferred to a follow-up.
If a required input is missing, ask for it once before starting; otherwise proceed and label any assumption you made.Notes: R40 refresh; tuned to vendor prompting guidance
