Most SaaS explainer videos explain nothing.
The classic explainer is a character with a problem, a lightbulb moment and a logo at the end. It is expensive to produce, takes weeks, and rarely shows the product. When the UI changes it is out of date. A SaaS explainer should show the product solving the problem, and it should be cheap enough to update.
Built for this specific job, not a generic editor.
Problem, solution, call to action
Write the pitch in a paragraph. Videly structures it into explainer scenes: the problem, how your product solves it, and a clear call to action.
Animated from your screenshots
Your UI becomes the visuals, with zooms, highlights and transitions that walk viewers through the key flow.
Voice-over and captions
Add an AI voice-over generated from the script or upload your own. Captions are automatic for muted autoplay.
Update in minutes
Swap a screenshot or edit a line and re-render. Your explainer stays current with the product.

Common questions.
How long should a SaaS explainer video be?+
Usually 30 to 90 seconds. Long enough to show the problem, the product solving it and a call to action, and short enough that visitors watch to the end.
How do I make an explainer video with AI?+
With Videly, write a paragraph about the problem and your solution, add screenshots or your product URL, approve the storyboard and render. You get an MP4 with motion design, captions and optional voice-over.
Is Videly an animated explainer video maker?+
Yes, but it animates your product interface rather than cartoon characters. For character-driven animation, an animation studio or a character-animation tool is a better fit.
How much does a SaaS explainer video cost?+
Studios usually quote per video with a multi-week timeline. Videly starts free (3,100 credits a month) and paid plans start at $19/month, with re-renders included in your credits.
Can I use my own voice-over?+
Yes. Upload an audio file and Videly syncs it to the scenes, or generate an AI voice-over from your script.
