Turn a Blog Post into a Video
Start with a post you have permission to use. Choose one idea to explain, then adapt the written material for an audience that will be watching and listening.
1. Choose the question, not just a word count
Read the post and write down the one question the video should answer. A long article may support several videos; forcing every paragraph into one short explanation can hide the main point.
Keep the opening problem, two or three supporting points and a useful conclusion. Note the dates, names, figures and quotations that must remain accurate. If the post contains opinions, preserve that distinction instead of presenting them as established facts.
2. Add the article in the workspace
Open Create a video. Paste the article text or a publicly accessible URL into the input area. You can also use Add URL. If the link cannot be read, use the relevant text or upload a readable document you are allowed to share.
The input accepts plain text as well as links and uploads. Add a short instruction explaining the audience, language, focus and target length. Sign in when prompted; the content stays in the input while you complete the existing login flow.
3. Submit a focused brief
A video for first-time readers needs a different introduction from a video for specialists. State the audience explicitly and identify the evidence the narration should retain. A target duration helps set scope; it is not a guarantee of an exact runtime.
Turn the article below into a clear explanation for [audience]. Answer: [one question]. Keep these points: [key points]. Use [language] narration and subtitles, readable visuals and background music. Target length: [length]. Check names, dates and numbers against the source. Article: [text or public URL]
4. Review, revise and download
Watch the full result with sound. Check whether the opening answers the right question, whether the scenes help explain the article and whether the conclusion follows from the evidence. Compare subtitles and narration with the original.
Use the workspace conversation to request a specific change, such as shortening the introduction or correcting a figure. Review the revised result before downloading the finished MP4. Follow-up work may use credits.
- The main point is understandable without reading the article.
- Numbers, dates and quotations match the source.
- Text is readable and narration is easy to follow.
- The video’s claims stay within the evidence.
- The final version is checked before publication.
