Simpleshow Videomaker, an AI-powered animated explainer video creator

Slide presentingVideo recording/creatingAI content & media generation

Description: Simpleshow Videomaker is a tool for creating animated explainer videos. Users can create videos by selecting a template, adding text, images, and audio narration, and then customising the animation style and transitions. With its AI functionality, they can also just choose a type of explainer video, title, indicate their audience and write information and let Simpleshow create a video from scratch. Simpleshow offers a limited free version and requires sign-up for use.

Evaluation: Simpleshow Videomaker is a handy tool for teachers to create engaging and informative videos and interactively convey knowledge through explainer videos. A possible assignment using Simpleshow Videomaker would be asking students to create an animated explainer video with a voiceover on a specific topic. A great advantage of explainer videos is that they are made only once, but can later be used unlimitedly.

Cost: Free with registration + paid options available.
