PaperToScene

Turn papers into scene-by-scene explainer videos where every concept gets a visual

Problem

Creators want 3blue1brown-quality explainers, but existing tools gloss over things: a concept without a matching visual just gets skipped, and formulas and details are hand-waved. The author wants to list every point the video must teach and block rendering while any item has no scene.

Solution

Users enter a checklist of must-cover concepts; the tool generates a scene for each (diagram, formula derivation, animation) and enforces a gate that refuses to render while anything is uncovered. Visuals are computed from the source formulas where possible, paired with narration and subtitles, exported as a video or storyboard.

Users

Indie technical video creators, educators and open-source maintainers who want high-quality explainers

MVP

Concept checklist editor; per-item scene scripts and formula visuals; coverage gate check; export storyboards and narration text; swappable voice and subtitles

Revenue

Subscription by exported video minutes or a desktop lifetime license; paid template and formula-rendering packs

Why now

Mature LLMs and formula rendering make auto-generated detailed explainer visuals feasible; creator demand for cheap, high-quality video is high
