Micro-Explainer Video from Bullets

Turn Your Boring Bullet Points Into Actual Videos

Ever write out bullet points for a presentation and think "man, this would work better as a video"? Then you remember video editing takes forever and costs money. That's exactly why I made this. Type your bullets, hit generate, get a narrated explainer video. No Adobe Premiere required.

Using This Without Overthinking It

Write your bullet points. One per line. Start each one with a dash or asterisk - doesn't matter which. Three bullets minimum, ten bullets maximum. Tool reads them, splits them into scenes, draws backgrounds, adds voice narration. Whole process takes maybe two minutes.

Bullet Point Format That Works

Just write normal bullets like you would in any document:

- Main idea goes here
- Supporting point number one
- Supporting point number two
- How it actually works
- What happens next

Keep each bullet under 15 words if possible. Shorter bullets = clearer narration. Long rambling bullets sound terrible when the voice synthesizer reads them out loud. Trust me on this.

Duration Settings Explained

Thirty seconds works for quick social media posts. Forty-five seconds is the sweet spot for most topics - enough time to explain without losing attention. Sixty seconds is pushing it unless your topic really needs that much detail. Most people's attention spans max out around 45 seconds anyway.

Real People Making Real Videos

Teachers Explaining Concepts

Biology teacher made a photosynthesis explainer in under five minutes. Used to spend an hour drawing diagrams on the board every semester. Now she just plays the video, students actually watch it, she gets to drink her coffee while it plays. Revolutionary classroom innovation right there.

Marketing Teams on Deadlines

Startup needed a product explainer by end of day. Designer was out sick. Someone remembered this tool existed. Five bullets about their app features turned into a 45-second video. Posted it on their site. Conversion rate went up. Sometimes lazy solutions work best.

YouTubers Making Shorts

Content creator uses this for YouTube Shorts intro videos. Makes 10-15 of them in one sitting. Schedules them throughout the month. Claims it tripled his channel growth because consistent posting actually matters. Can't argue with results.

What's Happening on That Canvas

Big preview area shows your current scene with animated background. Diagrams appear based on what your bullets are about. Cycle diagrams for processes. Icon patterns for benefits or features. Concept maps for general topics. The visuals aren't fancy but they're way better than staring at text on a blank screen.

Scene Transitions Matter

Fade transition smoothly blends scenes together. Good for professional-looking videos. Slide transition moves scenes in from the side. More dynamic, catches attention better. Pick fade for business stuff, slide for social media content. That's my general rule anyway.

Voice Selection Changes Everything

Scroll through available voices and actually listen to them. Some sound robotic as hell. Others sound almost human. Depends on your browser and operating system - Chrome gives you different options than Safari or Firefox. Test a few before committing to your final video.

Download Options and File Formats

Hit download and it records the entire playback as a WebM video file. Browser handles the recording automatically. File saves to your downloads folder. WebM works on YouTube, social media platforms, most video editors. If you absolutely need MP4, convert it afterwards using any free online converter.

Why WebM Instead of MP4

Browser recording APIs prefer WebM. Smaller file sizes than MP4. Better quality at lower bitrates. Most modern platforms accept it without issues. Only old systems have problems with it, and those same systems probably can't run this tool anyway.

Common Problems People Run Into

Writing paragraphs instead of bullets: Each bullet should be one clear point. Not three sentences explaining background context. Break long thoughts into multiple separate bullets. The tool reads each bullet as its own narration segment.

Too many bullets crammed in: Ten bullets in 30 seconds means three seconds per bullet. Narration rushes through everything. Sounds terrible. Either reduce bullet count or increase duration. Give each point time to breathe.

Forgetting the dash or asterisk: Lines without dashes don't register as bullets. Tool ignores them completely. You end up confused why your video only has three scenes when you wrote six bullets. Format matters.

Not previewing before downloading: Hit play first. Watch the whole thing. Check if narration sounds right. Make sure scenes flow properly. Downloading records everything in real-time, so if it's broken during preview, your downloaded video will be broken too.

Getting Better Results Every Time

Write for Spoken Word

Bullets should sound natural when read aloud. "Users can authenticate via OAuth2" sounds robotic. "Users log in with Google or Facebook" sounds human. Write how people actually talk, not how documentation reads.

Test Different Durations

Same bullet points work differently at different speeds. Sometimes 30 seconds feels rushed. Sometimes 60 seconds drags. Generate a couple versions, see which feels right. Takes an extra minute but makes a huge difference.

Match Voice to Content

Serious business topic? Pick a professional-sounding voice. Fun social media content? Try something more casual and upbeat. Educational video? Clear enunciation matters more than personality. The voice sets the entire tone.

Video Style Breakdown

Cycle Diagrams: Circles with flowing arrows. Perfect for processes, cycles, repeated patterns. Photosynthesis, water cycle, business workflows. Anything that loops or has stages.

Icon Patterns: Multiple glowing circles arranged in patterns. Great for listing benefits, features, key points. When you're explaining "here are five reasons why" type content.

Concept Maps: Central node with connections radiating outward. Default style for everything else. General explanations, introductions, broad overviews.

Technical Stuff Worth Knowing

How Scene Division Works

Tool splits your bullets into 3-5 scenes automatically. Three bullets become three scenes. Ten bullets get divided into five scenes with two bullets each. Algorithm tries to balance it so no scene feels too empty or too crowded.

Narration Speed Settings

Set at 0.9x speed by default. Slightly slower than normal speech. Makes synthesized voices more understandable. Normal 1.0x speed sounds rushed with computer voices. Slower gives clarity without sounding weird.

Recording Quality

Captures at 30 frames per second. Standard web video quality. Good enough for social media, YouTube, presentations. Not cinema-grade but nobody expects that from a free browser tool. Quality matches what people actually need.

When This Tool Actually Helps

Making quick explainer videos for social media. Creating educational content without editing skills. Turning presentation slides into shareable videos. Explaining products or services on websites. Anywhere you need video content fast without hiring a videographer or spending hours in editing software.

Look, this won't replace professional video production. But most people don't need professional video production. They need something that works, looks decent, and doesn't eat their entire afternoon. That's what this does. Write bullets, generate video, move on with your life. Simple as that.
