Most of us have great ideas to share—things we’ve learned in school, tricks that helped us pass exams, topics we understand deeply. Maybe it’s algebra, maybe it’s African history, or maybe you’ve mastered some Photoshop skills and you’re ready to share the sauce.
But when it comes to making videos, suddenly it’s:
“I don’t know how to edit.”
“I don’t have the tools.”
“I’m not a tech person.”
That ends today.
Because with InVideo, you can create a professional, clean, and engaging educational video even if you’ve never edited anything in your life.
No need to download heavy software. No expensive cameras. No confusing timelines.
Just drag, drop, type, and boom—you’ve got a video that can live on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or even your school’s LMS.
Let’s walk through it step by step.
⚡ Low-key, InVideo is the tool we’ll be using in this tutorial. If you want to follow along or start building your own video right now, you can check it out here: InVideo Link
Why Educational Videos Are Winning Right Now
Before we jump into the how, let’s address the why.
Educational content is booming. People are learning from YouTube instead of textbooks. Tutorials are the new classrooms. Platforms like TikTok are filled with 30-second math hacks, history nuggets, and science experiments.
If you can explain a topic in a simple, visual way, you’re not just helping people—you’re building an audience, too.
And guess what?
You don’t have to show your face. You don’t need a mic. You can create clean, animated, voiceover-backed videos that teach people anything—and InVideo makes it easy.
Step 1: Decide What You Want to Teach
You don’t need to be a professor to teach something valuable.
Some examples:
- A beginner’s guide to photosynthesis for junior high students
- “How to write an argumentative essay”
- Explaining the water cycle with animations
- Quick French vocab recap for WAEC students
- “How to use PEMDAS” with voiceover and text
Keep it specific. One topic per video. And think visually—can you explain it with words, pictures, animations, or even just bold text on screen?
Step 2: Outline Your Script (Keep It Short and Punchy)
Once you know your topic, it’s time to write your script.
Here’s a simple script structure:
1. Hook (0–10 seconds):
Grab attention. Example:
“Ever wondered why plants are green? Let me show you—in just 60 seconds.”
2. Explain (10–45 seconds):
Break it down simply.
Use analogies, examples, and steps.
3. Recap + Call to Action (45–60 seconds):
Wrap up the key idea. Ask them to like, follow, or watch your next video.
💡 Pro Tip: Write your script in a Google Doc or Notes app. Keep it conversational—talk like you’re explaining it to a younger sibling.
Step 3: Head Over to InVideo
Alright, here’s where the magic happens.
👉 Sign up or log in to InVideo
InVideo is an online video editor that lets you create videos using pre-made templates, AI scripts, stock footage, and drag-and-drop editing.
You don’t need any software on your laptop. Everything works in your browser.
Once you’re in:
- Click “Create New”
- Choose “Text to Video” or “Pre-made Templates”

Step 4: Turn Your Script Into a Video
Let’s say you wrote your 60-second script.
Here’s what you can do with InVideo:
✅ Use “Text to Video” to Auto-Generate Slides
Paste your script, and InVideo will turn it into slide-based visuals. Each sentence becomes its own scene. You can edit each slide and swap in graphics, animations, and even AI voiceovers.
✅ Add AI Voiceover (No Need to Record Yourself)
Not ready to use your voice? No problem. InVideo comes with text-to-speech tools.
Pick a voice, select your language or accent (British, American, Indian, etc.), and it will read your script smoothly.
✅ Insert Animations, Stock Footage & Icons
Let’s say you’re explaining the solar system—InVideo has free video clips of planets, space backgrounds, and icons you can use to visually explain your point.
✅ Use Captions and Highlighted Text
Highlight key words. Use bold fonts. Add definitions. You’re making an educational video, so it has to be readable even on mute.
✅ Customize the Look
Change fonts, brand colors, transitions, music—you’re in control. Want a “cool chalkboard style”? You can design it. Want something clean and modern? There’s a template for that too.
Step 5: Export and Share
Once you’re happy with your video:
- Click Export
- Wait a few seconds (the rendering is fast)
- Download your video
Now you can upload it to:

- TikTok (the educational side of TikTok is BIG)
- Facebook or WhatsApp groups
- Even send it to students or post it on your class blog
Example: How I Made a Video in 20 Minutes
Topic: “The Three Branches of Government”
Script:
“Ever heard of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches? Here’s how they balance power in under 60 seconds…”
Steps I followed:
- Chose “Text to Video”
- Pasted the script
- Used government-themed stock footage
- Added simple animations and bold text
- Chose an AI voiceover (British male)
- Added upbeat background music
- Exported and uploaded to YouTube
Done. 20 minutes. Zero editing stress.
What Makes InVideo Different (And Why It’s Perfect for Beginners)

Bonus Tip: Make a Series
One video is good. But a series is what builds an audience.
Examples:
- “60 Seconds of Science” → Post every Monday
- “Quick English Lessons” → Daily grammar tips
- “WAEC Hacks” → Revision content for high schoolers
- “Study Tips in 1 Minute” → Test prep + learning tricks
The more you post, the more people will look forward to your next lesson. And over time, your videos can even be monetized on YouTube or used to promote your own digital products.
