Sketchie turns any prompt or document into a whiteboard explainer video in about a minute. Then it does the part one-shot tools leave out by design. Click any scene. Change it. Re-render in seconds, for cents.
One-shot AI video tools hand you a finished MP4. If one sentence is wrong, you pay to regenerate the whole thing and hope. Sketchie gives you a video made of scenes you can open.
A prompt, a PDF, a Word doc, a Markdown file, your product docs. Sketchie reads it and writes a script built on story structure.
Every element draws on stroke by stroke, timed to the exact word of narration it belongs to. The biggest retention lever in the research.
Open the scene list, click a scene, edit the text, visual, or narration. Sketchie re-renders that scene only, in seconds. Cents, not another full video.
Export MP4 in any of three aspect ratios, or pull the scene graph through the API and do whatever you want with it.
The one-shot tools that dominate this category work one way: input goes in, MP4 comes out, and the workflow ends. Sketchie’s videos are living documents. Every scene is addressable and editable after generation.
Every scene is addressable and editable after generation. Fix one sentence in a 5-minute video without re-spending 5 minutes of credits.
Progressive drawing beats finished diagrams for retention, attention falls off after 6 minutes, ending with a question beats a summary. We wired those findings in as hard rules with an eval harness behind them.
A voice library designed for the audience, like a kid-explains-to-kids voice for young learners. Or paste an ElevenLabs or Fish Audio voice ID and Sketchie narrates in your voice.
Set length in 30-second steps, or let Sketchie pick. Videos default to 6 minutes or less because that is where the engagement data says attention lives. Longer material becomes a chaptered series.
A real 7-day trial on every plan, not a locked demo. Edits re-render one scene for seconds of minutes, not a whole regeneration. And API access is included at 1x on Max and Business, not a 3x markup.
One endpoint in, video plus editable scene graph out. Plus an MCP server, so any AI agent can generate and edit explainers directly.
Most AI video tools optimize for the demo: how fast, how long, how flashy. We optimized for whether the viewer remembers the thing tomorrow. Sketchie’s generator enforces rules drawn from published, peer-reviewed research.
