5 Types of Explainer Videos and When to Use Each One

December 23, 2025- Uncategorized- applellave

 

Not all explainer videos are the same

Depending on your audience, message, and platform, you’ll need a different style.

Here are the five most popular types used across Sydney, Parramatta, and Regional NSW.

1. Animated explainer videos

Best for tech concepts, services that are hard to film, and step‑by‑step breakdowns

2. Live‑action explainers

Best for programs, training organisations, and community services

3. Screen‑recorded tutorials

Best for software demos, onboarding, and tech support

4. Presenter‑style videos

Best for training modules, corporate communications, and formal walkthroughs

5. Story‑based explainer videos

Best for community impact stories, behaviour change, and sensitive topics that need emotional connection
