Have you ever watched a Common Craft video and thought - “This could really work for me if I could just make a few changes”? Now you can.

We now offer the Explainer Editor plan that includes the rights to edit any ready-made video in our library using your own software. This means our videos can become a starting point for your own projects.

Along with ready-made videos, the Explainer Editor plan also comes with all Common Craft Cut-outs as both vector art (.EPS) and normal (.PNG) image files so you can create a consistent experience.

Add or remove a scene, add a logo, change or translate the voice-over, it’s up to you.

Please note: You are welcome to share the edited videos publicly on your website, in your classroom, network, etc. However, the edited videos cannot be shared on public video sharing services like YouTube and Vimeo. If you need sharing options, please contact us.

Explainer Editor plans start at $249 a year. Get started.

The march towards publishing The Art of Explanation continues on swimmingly.  The publisher recently sent over "page proofs" which are hard copies of the book as it will appear in the real thing.  Reviewing the proofs is our last chance to make any corrections and changes before the book gets printed. When I send these puppies back, my work (in writing at least) is pretty much done.  Phew. The book comes out in print and ebooks on October 8th.

Here are some photos of the proofs...

The book has three parts: Plan, Package, Present. You'll recognize the drawings I think.

Because the book references a number of Common Craft videos, we added QR codes so you can quickly watch the video on a smartphone as you read.

Here's the cover, too...
