The production timeline for an average explainer video can vary, but here’s a general breakdown:

– Concept development and brainstorming.

– Scriptwriting and approval.

– Storyboarding and visual planning.

2. Production (2-4 weeks)

Total Estimated Time

For an average explainer video of about 60-90 seconds, the entire process typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from start to finish, depending on the complexity and the team’s workload.

Factors That Can Affect Production Time

– Complexity of Animation: More intricate animations will take longer to create.

– Revisions and Feedback: The number of revisions requested by the client can extend the timeline.
