# Explainer Overlay AI video style

Explainer Overlay is an AI video style: B-roll look with animated callouts and arrows. See a real short made in it, then make your own from an idea, a link or a podcast episode.

Explainer Overlay belongs to the Source-backed formats family, a filmed, live-action treatment. The same script can be rendered in any look, so the style changes how a short feels, not what it says.

## Explainer Overlay examples

Real renders from the public gallery, most watched first.

## Make a Explainer Overlay short

1. [Open the composer with Explainer Overlay selected](https://reclip.me/create?style=explainer_overlay) and describe an idea, or paste a link or a PDF.
2. Read the script it writes and change what you like.
3. Render it: 1 credit per 5 seconds, and the first 5-second short is free ([plans and credits](https://reclip.me/pricing)).
