Animated Explanations for Learning, Training, and Onboarding
Clear & Professional
Turn complex onboarding into clear understanding
Use short, focused animated videos to explain systems, services, and processes that are difficult to capture in documents or live recordings. Improve comprehension, increase retention, and help people get up to speed faster — while reducing training time and overall cost.
Efficiency & Focus
Train smarter, not harder
Replace long presentations and text-heavy manuals with concise animated explanations that clearly communicate how things work. Improve understanding, consistency, and compliance — and reduce the time your teams spend explaining the same things repeatedly.
Human-centered
From onboarding to ongoing training, animated explanations support consistent understanding across teams by clarifying complex systems and services. This reduces cognitive load, improves retention, and helps people feel confident applying knowledge in real situations.
Short & punchy (for fast-scrolling visitors)
Make onboarding easier to follow
Clear. Focused. Effective.
Use animated explanations to break down complex training content into clear steps that help people get up to speed faster, retain more, and avoid unnecessary confusion.
Frequently asked questions
Animation offers several advantages when explaining complex systems, services, and concepts that are difficult to capture with traditional video.
There is no reliance on a presenter.
Without a visible speaker, learners can focus entirely on the material itself rather than the person delivering it.Animation also makes updates significantly easier — content can evolve without rescheduling presenters or re-recording footage.
Complex or abstract concepts can be explained clearly.
Animation allows you to visualize things that are hard or impossible to film: abstract processes, invisible workflows, sensitive environments, or systems that can’t be paused for recording.It can also be combined with live footage when needed, using animated overlays to clarify key points or explain steps that are difficult to show on camera.
Every element is intentional.
In animation, nothing appears by accident. Each visual element is designed to support the learning objective, making it easier to remove distractions and keep attention focused on what matters most — something that is often difficult to control in live filming environments.
Content is easy to update, localize, and scale.
As systems, services, or processes change, animated training content can be updated without re-filming.Translations, branding updates, or regional versions can be created efficiently, making animation a practical long-term solution for evolving organizations.
Short lessons are intentional. Modern learning is most effective when information is delivered in focused segments that address a specific concept, system, or process without unnecessary overhead. This approach helps learners absorb and retain information more effectively than long, unfocused sessions.
Animation works particularly well in this format because it can visually demonstrate complex systems, services, and workflows in a short amount of time. By showing how things work rather than describing them at length, concise animated lessons often deliver clearer understanding and better retention than longer, text-heavy or lecture-style content.
The cost of animation depends on scope, level of detail, and complexity — with options available to suit different budgets and use cases.
One of the main advantages of animation is that it is a one-time investment. Unlike live training sessions or presenter-led videos, animated content can be reused, scaled, and updated without repeating production costs. Visual complexity can be adjusted to match budget constraints, while still delivering clear explanations. Because animations are easy to modify, a single piece of content can remain useful as systems, services, or processes evolve.
In terms of production time, modern 2D animation is far more efficient than it once was. When compared to live video, animation often requires similar or shorter timelines once filming logistics are considered. There is no need to coordinate presenters, crews, or locations, making production more predictable, cost-effective, and easier to manage.
Absolutely. Animated content is increasingly used alongside in-person training to support clearer understanding and long-term retention. Animations are particularly effective at emphasizing key concepts, systems, or processes that are difficult to explain verbally or demonstrate live.
In classroom or workshop settings, animated explanations can be used to introduce topics, reinforce critical points, or align understanding across groups. This helps learners integrate complex information more effectively and leads to more engaged, productive discussions in real-world training environments.
As with any training format, attention needs to be supported intentionally. Animation makes this easier by providing a clear, focused visual narrative that keeps learners oriented around the material.
Animated content also integrates well with interactive elements such as quizzes, checkpoints, or discussion tools, making it easier to verify understanding and encourage active participation rather than passive viewing.
Animation is for everybody, and in our virtual world, there is absolutely no reason to skip out on this incredible tool just because we used to watch cartoons. Animation is often the ideal way to teach complex procedures and concepts, especially those that cannot be easily filmed (like biological processes or engineering procedures). Additionally, 2D illustrations and graphics can be drawn in an infinite variety of styles–from playful and cute to clean and professional–so you can find a style that fits your needs perfectly–even one that presents your lesson in a serious light.
