How to Make Educational Videos with AI Step-by-Step? (For FREE)

Ever tried to create a video that teaches something but gave up halfway? This is common when people try to learn how to make educational videos.

Creating educational videos often is a pain. Script writing, voice recording, editing takes time and energy. That’s why many don’t even start.

This is where tools like Videomule make things easier. You record your screen, focus on teaching, and let AI handle the narration and captions. No mic. No editing skills. No stress.

In this blog, I’ll show you how to make educational videos with AI in a simple, step-by-step way using VideoMule.

What Makes a Good Educational Video?

Before we get into the steps, it helps to know what actually makes an educational video useful.

A good educational video is not about fancy visuals or long explanations. It is about clarity.

Here are a few educational video tips that you can use to create your next video:

• Clear screen
  Only show what is needed. No clutter. No distractions.

• Simple flow
  One idea at a time. One step after another.

• Easy pace
  Don’t rush. Give people time to see what’s happening.

• Clear explanation
  Explain what you are doing and why it matters.

• Short and focused
  Short videos work better than long ones.

When these basics are right, people understand faster and stay longer.

Now that you know what matters, let’s look at how to make educational videos step by step using VideoMule.

Types of Educational Videos

Not all educational videos are the same. Some formats work better with AI and some don't. So, if you want to use AI to create educational videos, choosing the right type makes creation easier and keeps the video clear.

Here are the most common types of educational videos that work well with AI.

• Screen tutorials
  These are the easiest and most effective for AI. For example, VideoMule lets you record your screen and show the steps while AI handles narration and captions.

• Talking head videos
  These usually show a person speaking to the camera. With AI, this can be done using avatars instead of recording yourself.

• Animated explainer videos
  These explain ideas using animations. AI can turn text into simple animated visuals, but they take more planning.

• Whiteboard videos
  These show ideas being drawn step by step. AI can generate the drawings while explaining the concept.

• Mixed media videos
  These combine screen recordings with an AI presenter or visuals. They work well when you want both explanation and demonstration.

For most beginners, I recommend Videomule. It makes AI educational video creation simple, clear, and easy to create with AI.

Traditional vs AI Video Creation: A Reality Check

Creating educational videos the traditional way takes a lot of time.

With traditional video creation, one video can easily take 5 to 7 hours. You plan the script, record your voice, fix audio issues, edit clips, add captions, and then redo parts when something goes wrong.

AI changes that process.

With AI, the same educational video can be created in under 10 minutes.

With Videomule, you record your screen once and let AI handle the narration, captions, and syncing. That’s more than 85% time saved.

Here’s what AI removes from the process:

• No microphone setup
• No camera
• No audio cleanup
• No manual captioning

Here is a catch: AI works best for clear explanations and step-by-step teaching. It’s not ideal for emotional storytelling or personal speeches.

For educational videos, clarity usually matters more than emotion. That’s why VideoMule fits so well here.

Next, I’ll walk you through how to make educational videos step by step using VideoMule.

Step-by-Step: Creating Educational Videos with AI

Here is how to make educational videos the easy way. By the end of this section, you will be able to create educational videos using AI in under 10 minutes. Let's dive in!

Step 1: Go to Videomule’s Website

Visit videomule’s website, click on “Start Creating for FREE.” You will get access to Videomule for free.

Step 2: Create Your Account

Provide your information or make use of your Google or Microsoft account to simplify the process.

Step 3: Record Your Screen or Upload Recorded Video

The first step begins with recording your screen or by uploading a recorded video. It not only works for educational videos but also for videos on Yoga, cooking or anything that needs to be created as an AI voiceover video.

Step 4: Record the Screen

For the sake of this blog, let me create an educational video on how to create an instagram post using Canva.

While recording your screen, you can choose to share a tab, a window or an entire screen. As I will be sharing multiple tabs, let me share my entire screen.

Just make sure that the video is more than 15 seconds. If not, the video will not be accepted.

Step 5: Preview Screen Recording

Once you’ve stopped recording your screen, the recorded video will be fetched automatically.

Check it once. If you find anything off, don’t hesitate to redo it. Because your screen-recorded video is the foundation for everything that follows.

Step 6: Customize the Video

Give your video a relevant title and ensure it aligns with the video. Also, you can choose from multiple output languages and AI voices curated by gender.

Step 7: Review & Edit the AI Educational Video Script

Once VideoMule is done processing your video, you will see the AI-generated script written as per your actions in the screen recording.

Review it once and check for discrepancies. If you find any, modify the script as shown below:

Once done, feel free to download it for later use.

Click on “Generate video,” and Videomule will prepare and process the audio and generate the voiceover. This process takes just a minute or two.

Step 8: Review the AI-generated Educational Video

Here comes the cool part, there is no need for prior video editing experience. The tool will sync the voiceover audio, generate the captions and sync everything and will present it to you as a single video.

Check the video and trim the parts of the video you don’t need.

Step 9: Export the Educational Video

Save the video, click “Export Video,” and your AI educational video will be downloaded automatically.

Bravo, Bravo! You have successfully an engaging educational video using AI without a mic or any fancy tools or equipment.

So, here is a quick before and after of the educational video created using Videomule.

Best Practices That Matter

If you don't want your audience to get annoyed and click away, it is better to keep your educational video crisp and clear. Here are a few practices that will be handy for you:

• Keep videos under 10 minutes
  Short videos feel lighter. If something takes longer to explain, break it into smaller parts instead of stretching one video.

• Hook viewers in the first 5 seconds
  Tell them what they’ll learn right away. A clear start keeps people from clicking away.

• Use conversational language
  Talk like you would to a friend. Simple words work better than formal explanations.

• Show, don’t tell
  If you can show it on the screen, do that. Seeing the step is often clearer than hearing it explained.

• Add pauses, exercises, or quick questions
  Give people a moment to think or try things themselves. It helps learning sink in.

• Always include captions
  Many people watch without sound. Captions also make videos easier to follow.

• Create videos so updates are easy
  Things change. Short, focused videos are much easier to fix later.

These small choices help people stay engaged and actually learn.

Mistakes To Avoid While Making Educational Videos

Let's be honest, even if you are careful there are high chances that you make silly mistakes that can ruin your whole video. So, here are some mistakes that you should stay away from:

• Not Checking Your Facts:
  Information that sounds right can still be totally wrong. Look up anything important before you put it in your video to make sure it's actually true.

• Reading Like a Robot:
  Nobody wants to listen to someone just reading off a page. Talk like you're explaining something to a friend, not giving a boring speech.

• Teaching the Wrong Level:
  If you make it too simple, people get bored. If you make it too hard, they get lost. Know who's watching and teach for them.

• Ignoring Bad Visuals:
  Pictures or clips that don't match what you're saying just confuse people. Watch your whole video and swap out anything that looks off or doesn't help.

• Publishing Your First video:
  Your first version always has problems you don't notice right away. Cut the slow bits, fix what's wrong, and clean it up before anyone sees it.

• Using Fancy Words:
  Trying to sound smart with big words just makes people tune out. Talk the way normal people talk and everyone will get it better.

• Only Explaining Theory:
  When you just explain ideas without real examples, nobody remembers it. Show how it works in actual life so it sticks in their heads.

• Going On Too Long:
  People click away when videos feel like they'll never end. Pick one thing to teach and wrap it up while they're still interested.

• Bad Pacing:
  Explaining the hard stuff without any gap confuses everyone. Dragging out the easy stuff bores them. Speed up and slow down where it makes sense.

• Never Testing It Out:
  You miss stuff because you already know what you meant to say. Get someone else to watch first and tell you what didn't make sense.

Measuring Success

Once your educational videos are out there, the next question is simple. Are they actually helping people learn?

You don’t need complicated metrics. A few signals tell you almost everything.

• Completion rate
  If around 70% or more of viewers finish the video, that says that your video is working. Lower numbers usually mean the video is too long or unclear.

• Watch time and drop-offs
  Check where people stop watching. If many leave at the same point, that section likely needs better pacing or explanation.

• Engagement and quiz scores
  If you include exercises or quizzes, look at how people perform. Poor scores often point to confusing steps.

• Rewatch behavior
  When viewers rewind or rewatch parts, it shows interest. It might also mean areas that need clearer visuals.

• Use analytics to improve
  Analytics help you fix small issues and make each video better than the last.

You don’t need perfect numbers. You just need enough insight to keep improving.

Make Educational Videos Without Any Hassle!

Creating visually appealing educational videos that actually teach is difficult. You need to record voiceover using a mic and also need expensive softwares and a quiet environment to record and edit videos.

But let’s be honest, not everyone has access to them.

So, don’t wait more, sign up and create your educational video for free: VideoMule.
