Turn any prompt, PDF, or link into an explainer video with motion graphics
About TapVid
TapVid generates motion-graphics explainer videos from material you already have. You give it a prompt, a PDF, a document or a link, and it produces the outline, the script, the animated visuals, the AI voiceover and the subtitles as one pass, ending in a publish-ready clip. The distinction it draws against the rest of the category is worth taking seriously: most AI video tools assemble stock footage against a generated voiceover, which produces something that looks like a video about your topic without actually explaining it. TapVid builds structured motion graphics from the content you supplied, so the numbers, product names, prices and legal copy on screen are the ones in your source rather than approximations of them.
That makes it a different tool from a text-to-video generator, and a different tool again from an avatar or talking-head product. It is aimed at explanation: product walkthroughs, feature launches, course modules, documentation turned into something watchable. Alongside the main flow it carries Article to Video, Talking Head Editing, Audio to Video, Assets to Video and Clone Video as separate entry points, and it exposes a REST API and an MCP server for teams generating in volume rather than one clip at a time. Be clear on cost before you start: there is no free plan. New users can buy a one-time $4.99 trial that runs 24 hours and produces one watermark-free 1080p video, and after that the entry subscription is $49 a month. Credits roll over month to month on paid plans.
Start from whatever you already have. Paste a prompt describing the video and who it is for, upload a PDF or document, drop in a link to a page, or bring product images, footage, screenshots, audio or a talking-head clip. The One Shot flow takes any of these and runs the whole pipeline unattended.
TapVid builds an outline first, then writes a script from it, then generates and animates the motion graphics, then adds an AI voiceover and subtitles. Supplied logos, specifications, prices and legal copy are carried through rather than paraphrased, which is the part that decides whether the output is usable for anything customer-facing. The default output is around 60 seconds, with longer runtimes on higher tiers.
Refine with Intelligent Edit, which is driven by plain language rather than a timeline. You describe the change you want and it applies it to the relevant shot. Individual shots can be regenerated without disturbing the rest of the video, and versions can be compared side by side, so a note on one scene does not mean re-rendering everything.
Teams working at volume can drive the same pipeline through the REST API or the MCP server and produce videos in batches instead of through the web app.
- •Source-faithful generation - Logos, specifications, prices and legal copy from your uploads are preserved in the output rather than reworded, which is what makes the result usable for product and compliance-sensitive material.
- •Motion graphics, not stitched stock - Animated explainer visuals built from your content, as opposed to the stock-clip montage that most prompt-to-video tools produce.
- •One Shot end-to-end - Upload and get outline, script, visuals, voiceover and subtitles as a single unattended run, with no editing or design step required from you.
- •Intelligent Edit in plain language - Revise by describing the change instead of working a timeline, with per-shot regeneration so one fix does not disturb the rest of the video.
- •Multiple input paths - Article to Video, Talking Head Editing, Audio to Video, Assets to Video and Clone Video, so existing material has a route in whatever form it is already in.
- •REST API and MCP server - Programmatic generation for teams producing videos in batches, and an MCP endpoint for driving it from an AI assistant.
- •Multilingual voiceover and subtitles - Generated automatically with a choice of languages and voices, rather than requiring a separate dubbing pass.
Product marketing teams shipping feature launches are the core case: the content already exists as a spec, a changelog or a launch doc, and the video is the format it needs to be in by Thursday. The source-faithful handling of prices and specifications is what makes that safe to do without a manual check of every frame.
Course creators and content managers converting written material into video get a route from an existing article or PDF to a finished clip without a design step in between. Agencies and brand studios producing high volume are the reason the API and MCP server exist, and the reason credits roll over.
Non-technical creators who want an explainer and have no editing skill are served by One Shot, though the entry price is the thing to weigh: there is no free tier, and past the one-off $4.99 trial video the cheapest ongoing plan is $49 a month. If you need one video a quarter, that maths does not work; if you need twenty a month, it is the point of the product.
