title: "Create a faceless explainer"
description: "Turn notes, an article, or a difficult idea into a visual explanation without product footage."
---
Use a faceless explainer when the source is an idea or piece of text—not a product website or existing talking-head video.
The agent invents the visual language from typography, diagrams, abstract graphics, data visualization, icons, and generated media.
Use a [product and website video](/guides/product-launch-video) when the real product interface should provide the visual proof. Use captions or a recut when existing footage must remain underneath.
## Start with the point
```text
/hyperframes Create a 60-second explainer from the attached notes.
The audience is new product managers. Explain why confidence intervals
matter without assuming a statistics background. Calm, editorial, and
diagram-led. End with one practical rule they can remember.
```
Include:
- the source text or topic;
- what the audience already knows;
- the one idea they should remember;
- the desired length and format;
- whether narration is wanted;
- claims or examples that must remain exact.
## Approve the explanation before the visuals
Confirm:
- the question the opening creates;
- what the audience already knows;
- the minimum sequence needed to explain the idea;
- which facts or examples require verification;
- the visual language and narration choice;
- the one conclusion the viewer should remember.
## Review the explanation
Check the storyboard before judging visual polish:
1. Does the opening establish the question?
2. Does each scene add one useful idea?
3. Are examples concrete?
4. Does the visual make the idea easier, or merely decorate it?
5. Can the audience repeat the conclusion afterward?
Use the [Storyboard](/studio/storyboard) for the reasoning and [Studio](/studio) for timing, type, diagrams, and animation.
## Common problems
| Problem | Better direction |
| --- | --- |
| The visuals decorate but do not explain | Ask what each visual makes easier to understand. |
| Too many abstract claims arrive at once | Use one concrete example before the general rule. |
| The pace is fast because the script is crowded | Remove ideas rather than shortening every hold. |
| A generated statistic sounds authoritative | Verify the source or remove the claim. |
| Every scene uses a different visual metaphor | Choose a small, consistent visual system. |
