In-Browser WebCodecs Rendering

When you click Apply & re-render, Explayner normalizes scenes, loads assets, draws frames onto an off-screen canvas in a Web Worker, and encodes the video locally using your browser's hardware-accelerated WebCodecs.

Audio tracks (narration, music, SFX) are mixed simultaneously into a single, high-bitrate MP4 file.

Downloading & Watermark Notice

Once the status indicates Video complete - ready to play and download, click the export icon to save the MP4 to your downloads folder.

Certain free-tier deployments may include an explayner.com watermark badge in the corner of exports.
