Hey PH Community! I'm Hubert, I built this thing.

Honestly I started building Canvasvid because I needed an explainer video for a project and couldn't justify spending $3K on one. Tried a few AI tools and they all gave me the same thing like stock footage with my text on it. Felt like a PowerPoint.

So I went down the rabbit hole of building one that actually produces the whole video from scratch. Script, characters, scenes, animation, voiceover, music, subtitles with all generated, nothing stock.

Is it perfect? No. Some styles work better than others and we're still improving the output quality. But it works, and it's way better than what I was getting elsewhere.

Try it with your own product and tell me what you think, good or bad, I want to hear it. First video is free, and code PHLAUNCH26 gets you 30% off if you want more.

I'll be here all day.

what we're building and why. Would love your input

Hey, just wanted to say hi and explain what Canvasvid is about since we just launched.

The short version: I wanted an explainer video for my product. The options were either expensive (agencies) or bad (template tools). So I built something that does the whole production with AI. It's not trying to replace high-end production studios. It's for people like me who just need a solid explainer video without the $5K price tag or the 3-week wait.

We're early. There's a lot I want to add such batch generation, longer video support, more languages, more video style generation. But I'd rather build what you actually want than guess.

Why most "AI video tools" give you a glorified slideshow

I've been frustrated with explainer videos for a while. Every product needs one. Your landing page converts better with one. Investors want to see one. But actually making one? That's where it falls apart. You either:

Hire an agency ($3K $10K, 3-4 weeks, and it's outdated the moment you ship an update)
DIY it with screen recording + stock footage + royalty-free music (we all know how that looks)
Use one of the "AI video" tools that basically gives you a template with your text pasted on top

That last one is what really bugs me. Most of these tools aren't actually producing anything. They're shuffling stock clips around and calling it a video. There's no custom characters, no real illustration, no actual animation. It's a slideshow with transitions.

So I built Canvasvid. The idea is simple: you describe your product, and Canvasvid produces the entire explainer video. Not a template. An actual production. Here's what happens under the hood when you hit generate:
