Screenshot walkthroughs ​

Attach a screenshot of an app or a web page and the explainer can walk you through it. The slide shows the whole screenshot first. As the narrator reaches a part, the camera moves to that part, the rest of the picture darkens, and a label names the part.

It suits anything that guides someone through a user interface: where to find a setting, the steps of a task in an app, a support how-to.

How to ask ​

Attach the screenshot in the composer or in ChatGPT, then say what the explainer should teach:

@Explain Video Generator create a walkthrough of this UI, one step at a timeshow new users where to find billing and how to cancel their plan

What you get ​

  • One to four labelled parts on each screenshot, in the order the narration reaches them. A fifth part is not shown.
  • Each screenshot appears once in the explainer.
  • The picture is yours, so it isn't generated and doesn't count towards the 12 generated pictures an explainer can hold.

Photos, charts, diagrams and art still go on image slides. A screenshot of code or an error message is read as material instead: see Your own pictures.
