How to turn articles into video fast for free

5 replies
I want to use my articles and turn them into video for free. Here is what i have tried:

Cyberlink Power director - This was a software program delivered for free when i bought my computer. Very nice software but not very fast for creating articles into video (lots of copy/paste work and it can be a bit time consuming)

Nero 10 - Nero vision a bit similar to the product above but not what i'm looking for.

Free online video editor (from the most popular video site)- I created a 100% white video with video software and added music to the background. In the online video editing software you can add text to the video.

Creating powerpoints and turning them into video with camstudio. Camstudio is a open source screen recorder. When you play the powerpoint presentation you can record it with camstudio. I have spend some time with the settings and it works pretty good.

Conclusion: The software I used above is all of good quality but in my opinion not good for turning (lets say 200 articles) into video fast. All of the above cost money exept for the free online video editor.

Question: Is ther a type of free software that can turn a article into seperate sentences and then turn it into a .avi or .flv? I also would like the option to set the duration for each slide of the video. If possible automatic with the average reading speed, some say 150 words per minute others 250 so 200 should be fine.

    You'll be lucky to find free software that does this, I've never found any. There is two paid options. 1. Turn any article to video with animation, music, graphics, and a full voice-over for just $1! I think this is a monthly paid subscription but you get a lot of options. 2. Incansoft and a piece of software that does this for a one time fee.

      Thanks for the reply, the subscription price is just too much for me.

    I know this technically isn't what you're looking for, but for me it's faster to just make a real video with a flip that to convert an article. Any viewer likes it better anyway

    But the real question we should be asking is "do these article to videos make any money"?

    I am yet to see anyone say "yeah I made a few sales". Someone please prove me wrong.
    Exactly! If I clicked a video and this powerpoint crap started, I'd find a better video....
