Make your software instantly understandable with a clear, compelling tutorial animation. We translate complex flows into short, scalable explainer videos that accelerate onboarding, reduce support queries, and increase conversion. Custom 2D or 3D, multilingual, and fully branded. If you want to introduce your product more broadly, consider having an explainer animation made.
A software tutorial animation is a short, visual instructional video that shows users step-by-step how your product works. This type of software instructional animation combines UI visuals or screen recordings with motion graphics, callouts, icons, voice-over, and subtitles. Unlike a standalone screencast, the animation is tightly scripted, styled in your branding, and built modularly, allowing you to easily create variations for different target audiences, features, and channels. Ideal for SaaS onboarding, product tours, feature releases, and help center content.
A selection of the animations we created for our clients. From short explainer videos to technical 3D animation: every project starts with the question of what the viewer needs to understand.
Moving images with audio and clear callouts accelerate comprehension and reduce cognitive load. Users see exactly what they need to do and why, increasing activation and retention. For an extra focus on education, you can have a SaaS explainer created.
Once produced, you can use the same core explanation in-app, on your website, in your help center, sales deck, and on social media. The message remains consistent, regardless of the channel or team.
We simplify the interface where possible and zoom in on crucial steps. This prevents noise, reduces drop-off, and increases task completion. A good example is the TransIP control panel, where crucial steps are clearly highlighted.
Use animations for pre-signup demos, onboarding checklists, feature announcements, customer success training, and support articles. One visual language for all touchpoints.
We start with goals, target audience, and use cases. Think of activation KPIs, frequently asked support questions, or features with the most friction. We determine the length, channels, and multilingual requirements, and work under an NDA if necessary.
We write a tight script with a clear user flow. In doing so, we define the callouts, key messages, and pacing. We break down complex steps into bite-sized modules that you can use individually later. Do you want to structure your input better? Read how to write a script for your tutorial animation.
Based on your brand guidelines, we choose a 2D, 3D, or hybrid style. We work with UI designs, design systems, and components. Don't need access to your app? We recreate screens securely and unrecognizably if desired.
We translate the script into a frame-by-frame storyboard and a rough animatic with timing. Through our online review tools, you provide quick and targeted feedback, allowing us to iterate without waste.
We animate interface interactions, transitions, and data streams. Where relevant, we combine screen captures with motion graphics. Voice-over, music, and sound effects support the instruction, optionally with subtitles and audio description.
After one or more feedback rounds, we deliver in all necessary formats for web, app, social media, and events. We organize modules and source files in such a way that updates and variants can be created efficiently.
Sleek icons, typography, and UI micro-animations ensure maximum clarity and a professional feel in your corporate identity.
Make invisible processes visible, such as cloud architecture, security, or integrations, with spatial visualizations. This makes complex software tools accessible.
Combine real screen footage with animated callouts and zooms for fast production and high recognizability. This approach is ideal for a product instruction animation.
When simplicity has the most impact, a minimalist or whiteboard style works excellently for training and support.
The investment for a software tutorial animation depends on length, UI complexity, 2D or 3D, number of languages, voice-over, subtitles, and the number of variants. Because we work modularly, you can intelligently manage budget and impact by reusing core modules and creating short versions per channel.
The turnaround time is typically between 2 and 6 weeks, depending on the scope and the number of feedback rounds. Tight deadlines are possible with a sprint approach. Request a quote with your goal, target audience, and desired length, and you will quickly receive a proposal with a schedule.

We deliver files optimized for each channel, such as 16:9 for web and YouTube, 1:1 and 4:5 for feed, and 9:16 for stories and in-app. Multilingual versions, subtitles, and text-free versions are available. Consider use in your LMS, help center, onboarding flows, sales presentations, and social teasers. We are happy to advise on distribution and metrics, such as activation, task completion, and support ticket reduction.
With goals, target audience, key user journeys, and feature priorities, we can go a long way. Brand guidelines, UI designs or access to a demo environment, existing support articles, and frequently received questions are also very helpful. If you already have screen recordings or a script, we will incorporate them into the production.
Yes. We sign an NDA upon request and work with protected environments. We anonymize sensitive data or screens and share material exclusively on agreed channels. Source files and versions are stored in a structured manner for controlled access.
For software explanations, a short and modular approach usually performs better than one long video. Break 20 minutes into short, task-oriented modules of 30 to 90 seconds that you can use contextually. The cost scales with length and complexity, but working modularly reduces costs and increases effectiveness.
Depending on your goal and platform, we provide a set that is ready to use immediately:
