KolaVid
What it is
KolaVid turns prompts or uploaded documents into narrated whiteboard explainer videos with generated scenes and downloadable results. Users can start from an idea, lesson, pitch, or training topic, or convert source material into a structured visual explanation. Its visual approach uses white backgrounds, bold labels, visual reveals, simple diagrams, and short labels. AI scene generation is available. Credits are based on finished duration at one credit per second. The Free plan costs nothing and provides 120 credits, two video minutes total, and videos up to two minutes. Starter costs $14.99 a month for 20 video minutes, Creator costs $39.99 a month for 50, and Studio costs $99.99 a month for 120; each paid plan allows videos up to five minutes. KolaVid runs on the web.
