Long-form style · 16:9 or 9:16

Stickman explainer videos that never sit still

Stick-figure cartoons in flat colour and bold marker lines, with a new picture on every phrase of the narration - roughly every two seconds - and a plain word card whenever the words themselves are the point: a number, a name, a punchline. It is the fast, punchy look of money, business and life-lesson channels.

How this style works

  • The script is cut into short phrases, and each one gets its own picture.
  • Numbers, names and punchlines land as big word cards.
  • The same characters stay dressed the same from the first picture to the last.

What you give it

  • A topic in one line
  • Or your own script, word for word
  • Or your own voice recording
  • Optional: a picture or a YouTube video whose drawing style the pictures should follow

Best for

  • Explainers
  • History told fast
  • Stories
  • Money & business

Long abstract sentences give it nothing to draw. For a calm lesson with fewer, fuller drawings, use Whiteboard Animation. Whiteboard Animation

From a line of text to a 2D Stickman Animation video

  1. 1

    Choose a style

    Pick how the video should look: a hand-drawn whiteboard, a real-footage documentary, an AI presenter, a vertical short. Every style shows a sample before you choose it.

  2. 2

    Say what it is about

    One line is enough - the script is written for you. Or paste your own script, upload your own voice recording, or bring your own footage or links, depending on the style.

  3. 3

    Check the script and the credits

    Read the script, change any line, pick the language and the narrator. You see exactly what the video takes before anything is made.

  4. 4

    Get your video

    VidGenius narrates, draws or finds every picture, adds captions and edits the video. Swap anything you do not like, render, and download a 1080p MP4.

2D Stickman Animation: questions

Can the pictures follow my channel's own look?

Yes. Give a reference picture, or the link of a YouTube video drawn the way you want, and every picture is drawn in that manner.

How many pictures does a video have?

About one every two seconds of narration: a five-minute video has around 150 of them.

Can I use my own script?

Yes. Paste it and it is kept word for word; nothing is rewritten.

How long does it take to make?

Minutes for most videos. A two-minute video is ready in about five minutes; longer videos, and formats that search for real footage, take longer.

What do I download?

A 1080p MP4, ready to upload. Download it to keep it: the studio holds a finished video for a few days, depending on your plan.
