MakeThisVid is an AI whiteboard video maker that generates visual concept videos from a text prompt or image in 8-second 1080p clips with audio in under two minutes. It does not produce traditional whiteboard doodle animation (draw-on lines, marker-on-white style) — it generates AI video with clean, conceptual visual motion. Commercial use is licensed on every plan.

AI Whiteboard Video Maker

Whiteboard videos are popular because they make complex ideas simple through visual storytelling. MakeThisVid takes a different approach: instead of animated hand-drawn diagrams, it generates clean, concept-driven video from your text descriptions — the same outcome (making ideas visual) through a different production method. Be precise about what you need: if you specifically need the hand-drawn, marker-on-whiteboard animation style (draw-on effect), MakeThisVid is not the right tool — look at Doodly or VideoScribe. If you need a clean, compelling visual that explains a concept, process, or idea through imagery and motion, MakeThisVid delivers that in under two minutes.

How to Use MakeThisVid

From prompt to downloadable MP4, ready to deploy.

  1. Choose a plan or credit pack

    Lite ($14.99/mo, 20 credits), Standard ($29.99/mo, 50 credits), Pro ($79.99/mo, 200 credits). One-time packs start at $9.99 for 5 credits.

  2. Choose your mode

    Photo → Video: animate a diagram, sketch, or concept image. Text → Video: describe the concept you want to visualize — a process, a comparison, a transformation.

  3. Write a prompt that makes the concept clear

    Simple, high-contrast visuals work best for concept explanation. E.g. "Clean geometric shapes assembling into a structured system on a white background, minimal color palette, purposeful movement, educational and clear aesthetic." Or describe the specific concept: the problem being solved, the process being shown, the comparison being made.

  4. Generate at 720p or 1080p

    1 credit per 720p, 2 credits per 1080p. Renders complete in 45–90 seconds. Credits refund automatically on failure.

  5. Use in educational content, explainers, and presentations

    Download the MP4. Embed it in a presentation, add narration in your video editor, or pair it with voiceover for a YouTube explainer. Commercial use included on every plan.
