How to start
Open the template
Use this template to sign up free and open a new project with Bright Idea already set.
Add your story
Upload your voiceover, paste a script or start from an idea. Lists and numbers in the script become graphics, so write "three reasons" or "40 percent" where you want them on screen.
Check the scenes, then make the video
Read the scene plan, remake any picture you don't like, and export. Credits and plan limits are on the pricing page.
Bright Idea questions
Can I add my brand to the video?
Yes. A Brand Kit adds your logo, intro and outro to the export, so every explainer in a series opens and closes the same way.
